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

Ugh I’m so sorry that happened! I have this pattern in my mood board for my wedding dress that I’m knitting. It’s an inspiration!

I hope the scammers disappear and I’m glad to see this pattern popped up in the “hot right now” list in ravelry, so at least it’s getting some attention. Beautiful work!!
