Final installment of the Knittingsee plagiarism/theft drama
#knitsky #craftsnark #knitting #knittingcommunity
Most of the time, when folks cry “thief” in the craft world, it’s something more subtle or even innocent. This case is interesting because it’s so blatant. Knittingsee doesn’t seem to care how many bridges he burns.
More to come.

An Instagram statement from yarn brand Woolfolk that reads: “It has come to our attention at Woolfolk that a former test knitter we have worked with in the past, released the Quin Cardigan pattern against and without our approval. This action was taken without our knowledge, authorization, or contribution to the design's development. Such behavior undermines the trust, collaboration, and integrity that are foundational to our work and the wider knitting community. We do not condone the theft of creative content under any circumstances. Actions that prioritize personal gain at the expense of small businesses and the knitting community are unacceptable and will not be tolerated. We are immensely grateful to our loyal customers who brought this matter to our attention. Your unwavering support means the world to us as we remain dedicated to providing authentic, original designs that inspire and uphold the values of our community. Thank you for standing with us.”
