...is it bad that my biggest reaction to that article was IT'S NOT KNITTING, IT'S CROCHETING, DAMMIT! But yeah, there were a whole bunch of posts on crafty_tardis about this when the BBC first contacted her. I kind of have the whole pattern and will finish it, and if they want to be dicks about that, they can. I'm making it as a gift for Charlie, and I don't intend to make more than that one. Also, I know the BBC is pissy because others were selling them, and that does make sense, but at the same time, they don't sell their own Adipose toy, so they can't get too mad until they do. I think the biggest problem was not that she made it, but that she made the pattern available. Because people on that comm have been posting photos of Adipose they've sewn, not crocheted, and AFAIK they haven't been contacted.
