Recently, I designed my very own knitted item, a cowl which I knitted up in a yarn I spun all by myself, and I felt pretty clever about the whole thing thankyouverymuch. But I haven't posted it to my Ravelry projects yet, because I have a Doubt. It ultimately comes down to a copyright issue. If I say that I have come up with a design myself, and someone else out there in the world came up with their own design but copyrighted it, is my design in violation even though I developed it without knowledge of their design? Same thing with machine embroidery designs. I have designed some really cute embroidery designs over the past week, but what if someone else has digitized the same thing? How do I prove that I didn't steal their work?
*frets*
Would appreciate any input from thems what know more about copyright than I do...

have been highly exaggerated. Un-knitting is not nearly as peaceful and meditative as knitting. Just in case you were wondering.

This one's for I *had* a long post about how inspired I am feeling to work on SCA projects again. But I hit the wrong button on my Blackberry and Opera Mini ate my post. So now I have nothing to show for the fact that my thumbs REALLY hurt.
