Not trying to advertise or spam, but have found New Look patterns at £2.95 here, for anyone who's interested:

Thanks for posting this info liz...I know from a week ago tha they are already down to £2.95, but I forgot to let the people know...I bough some really in fashion patterns...It's just finding the time now to do it...I was wondering whether it is worth starting a sewing pattern sharing or swapping scheme, so that everybody will have the opportunity to get some patterns free as well. I know they are quite expensive, but could anyone think of any way to get this working? Would it be a good idea do you think?:p

It could work, but we would need to set something up independently of MSE: It's in the rules that we're not meant to swap/sell/or share through here in case Martin gets into trouble if something went wrong.

Officially as well, under copyright laws you are only supposed to make a pattern up once. i.e. - even if you make 3 tops from the same pattern for your own use, you're technically breaching copyright.

It would be a great idea otherwise, and something I would like to do if it was workable.

I could well run the challenge again - although it'll be a much bigger project for me this year: I'm trying to knit DH a jumper, I think i had a funny turn after getting married!

Happens to all of us I think!! I've been married just over two years and I'm still waiting for my funny turn to end!!! :rotfl: A big challenge sounds good to me - I've got masses to do and, thanks to my 5 week old baby, nowhere near enough time to do it!! I'm up for the challenge if you are! :beer: :xmassign:

I've just restarted the jumper, as I ended up with too many stitches! Let me know if you want to do something similar and I'll get a challenge going.
