In respect of Liana Kabel’s work I have removed the tutorial on how to bend knitting needles. If you would like to know more about her designs please visit her site and support an indie artist. Liana wrote to me upset that I had posted this tutorial - and while I support these tutorials and love them in fact, I am torn between wanting to share knowledge and support artists who have original ideas. I justified posting this tutorial to myself and to Liana by the fact that it is a pretty simple idea and someone else somewhere is going to - and have already - thought it up for themselves. Liana wrote back with this reply …

Yes it is a simple idea, but it was my idea. Jodie wasn’t the first person who has tried it out, and not even the first Aussie to boil up knitting needles to make bangles. I don’t have a problem with this, people can try things out for themselves. What I do have a problem with is when people claim ideas as their own and even more of a problem when they are supported by those in powerful and responsible positions.

Liana I apologise to you and I also apologise to Jodie for removing your tutorial.
