Untitled #11, 2004 (basic cabled scarf), Haley Waxberg
Dec 11, 2004:
It has been brought to my attention that this pattern closely resembles another free pattern available on the net. My pattern was conceived as a foundational pattern to help a customer learn how to make cables and was not in any way influenced by the other pattern. The customer chose the yarn type and colour to suit their project. To the best of my knowledge I have never seen that pattern nor have I visited that website prior to this incident, nor do I have any desire to misrepresent other people’s ideas as my own. I can only conclude that this is a case of coincidence and great minds thinking alike.
