  3. This makes complete sense. I don't go to my job every day, because I'm volunteering. Writing patterns is work, and people should be compensated for it.

    1. Truth! I'm so glad that there are people out there that agree on this! There are others that are only looking for free patterns. But I can't afford to give mine away. Designing is my "job".
