How about setting up a Just Giving page for people to donate to a charity and then holding a raffle at the end of the donation period, for the people who donated to win the sweaters that you want to clear out? That way no money changes hands between you and the recepient and the sweater is a prize rather than a purchase.

I for one would love to win one of your sweaters!

I already emailed her directly to say - but I think this is a fantastic idea, and I will probably do this or a very similar variant of it. Jackie is a genius!

Wow that is a great idea! I can't wait to see what you can raise for charity!!!!

Rowan is wrong and you can sell your items on Etsy or wherever you like as long as you do not misrepresent them. this link should provide some useful info.

there is no confusion in the law. NOW - that is US law. I do not know if there is some special law in the UK that is different. I kind of doubt it, since Rowan sells their items here as well. (i'm in the US).

As a pattern designer what i sell is a pattern, not the eternal rights to every object ever made from that pattern.

Just my two pence, but how about if they were listed on Ebay instead of using Etsy? If Rowan or the designer tried to argue that you couldn't sell them on there (especially if they had one of those this goes to charity buttons on the page) then they would be arguing against the whole point of Ebay, to sell secondhand things, and would have a giant of a company up against them for trying to suggest people can't sell second hand items. I'm not a lawyer so i don't know how well it would work, but it might be a more secure way of selling them rather then having them in an Etsy shop (i understand that Etsy has set prices in people's shops, where as Ebay is an auction, if Etsy does do auctions then i'm not sure if that would make a difference) you could even set a guide price if you want to make sure you get a decent amount for the charity? And maybe link in a post on here to the items so they get the right publicity.
Something someone with more knowledge about the subject could contribute to?

Wow! What a can of worms you've opened up! I have no idea either way, but from reading the comments it looks to me that you are allowed to sell your items, it's just that some designers/pattern writers would rather you didn't, which is an entirely different thing. If you're legally allowed to sell your items then you should. If pattern writers don't want you to sell the items made from their patterns then they should address this in law. Clarification from Rowan would help. Saying they can't give you permission isn't the same as saying it's illegal for you to sell. But, as you only want to clear out your cupboards and raise some money for charity perhaps you'll find an easier route to achieving this. Good luck!

Good for Jackie! I've just caught up with these posts and had been thinking something similar all along. Donations are quite a different kettle of fish, and you really can't go wrong with giving away prizes.

I think since you've already contacted the company and they did not approve of your request, you need to do the idea suggested by Jackie. It's a great idea and still gets you to your desired end result. I'm sure that someone at the charity of your choice would be up for helping you facilitate the process, since they would benefit in the donations.

I've created a couple of ringtones through the site Ventones, but when I send them to my iPhone, I click the link in the text message that they come in but all it does is play the song. I don't know where that song goes on my phone or how I can make it a ringtone. Any help? Thanks.

At my new work, due to firewall limitations, I cannot install the VT Trader, a software from CMS Forex. Therefore I need to buy a device, Im thinking Blackberry or a Windows Mobile and then look for a new broker dealer to start trading. Anyone knows about Mobile Forex Trading?
