Follow on Google News | Aroha Knits Launches Partner ProgramAroha Knits, official website to designer Francoise Danoy, launched partner program to encourage independent knitting stores to support and collaborate with independent knitting designers.
By: Aroha Knits This partner program was created as a collaborative effort between Aroha Knits and Alice Fate to encourage small knitting businesses to support independent designers, such as herself, by purchasing a license and giving proper credit to the designer. “There is a lot of talk and buzz about what knitters can and cannot do with the finished objects (also known as FOs) they knit from a copyrighted pattern”, says Francoise Danoy, founder and owner of Aroha Knits. “Many argue that purchase of the pattern grants them the right to make profits off the FOs, despite what policies the designer may implement.” As a designer has very little legal power over the control of sold patterns, Aroha Knits and Alice Fate had to judge what benefits could incite small knitting businesses into joining the program. In exchange for purchasing a cottage license and crediting the designer, the knitter will be featured on the Aroha Knits website and periodically promoted on other forms of social media. “I think this is such a fabulous way to build more community instead of separation [between the designer and knitters”, says Katie, owner of Alice Fate. “This really presents a way to be open, honest and fair to both parties”.
