A question regarding getting hold of a pattern
I am wanting to knit the Slouchy Cardigan by Helene Roux. It is published in "Greetings from Knit Cafe", an American book. I've had a look in my library and done a search across all the libraries in my area, but nowhere has it. I could ask them to buy it, but it could take weeks/months and there is no guarantee they would!
My only other alternative would seem to be to buy the book, but at £15, when I only want the one pattern, it would make it too expensive once I have bought the yarn as well.
I don't want to diddle the designer out of royalties - after all, like us she has put hard work into the design - but I don't feel right just asking for a photocopy of the pattern from someone with the book (although I would be fine in terms of copyright laws).
Anyone else been in this situation? What did you do?
