I thought I had this pattern too but I think I lost it when I accidentally deleted a bunch of things. If you find it let me know! I want one too.

Its against the law to offer on a website that something is free and then charge. I found that pattern listed in 9 different places as being free but everyone I brought up was for sale. Something is very wrong and I am contacting McCalls Magazine.

it isn't at all unusual for a pattern to be offered free at first and then later for a price. bazillions of blocks of the month programs work that way. if you don't download them during the free period, you have to pay for them later.

didn't say i liked it. just saying it's a common practice.

what'cha gonna do? designers need to eat once in a while, too.

It's not against the law if the owner of the pattern rights wants to give it away and then sell it. Just get while the gettin is good!
