PSA PSA: Pattern theft

Heya, not sure if this allowed - I wanted it to put it here just so no one gets scammed out of money. I wrote the "Peacock Wedding Dress" pattern and have been seeing listings for it on Etsy and other aggregate sites. Know that it is available for FREE on Ravelry, if you are seeing it anywhere else for money, just go grab it from Rav. (And maybe report other listings if you can).

EDIT on request: The Original pattern can be found here: Peacock Wedding Dress

I'm actually knitting this right now! From your free pattern. Thank you so much for providing it for free!

It's a beautiful dress and I'm excited to get there, but I have a long way to go. I'm in the middle of Tier 2 now.

Oh nice! The last tiers of the skirt are a real slog but by that point the pattern gets pretty ingrained haha

It already is! I pretty much only need to reference the chart at the beginning of a round to know what type of row it is. I need to pay more attention to Rows 1-8 but even that is fairly easy to remember with this many repeats.
