This isn't the first time I've had this happen, but it's the first time it's happened with a print magazine.
I was rather happy to see Interweave in a bookstore here, so happy I bought it (they had spin off as well). I was rather enjoying flicking through when I came across a rather nice pattern that looked quite familiar. Dammit, the reason it looks quite familiar is that it is almost identical to something I knit myself several months ago, that I was planning on writing out on this new and improved blog.
Now before anyone says anything, I am in no way accusing the author of the Interweave pattern of copying mine. I'ts a simple case of 2 knitters having a similar idea at a similar time, but it does rather annoy me. I've been holding off on writing out my ideas because of lack of confidence in my ability. I am not annoyed at her or at the magazine.
I am annoyed at me.
This isn't the first time I've had an idea, knitted it, been happy with it and wondered for several months about submitting it to one of the online mags, only to see something nearly identical show up before I could make up my mind. I need to get off my fat, lazy backside and write up my ideas, either to show them here, or to submit to someone.
Dammit, dammit, dammit.

Hey, don't despair. As soon as you try something new, and you've found that it doesn't have any limb holes where there shouldn't be, post it up! I've been really impressed by what I've seen. Keep it up! (Though no mohair for me, pls. It maketh me itcheth.)
