Drunkard's Path?
I skipped a meeting today and finished this Drunkard's Path. Do I feel guilty? You BET I do, but I wonder if I would have been able to complete this whirling mass of circular seams had I not been really, really naughty and given myself some quiet time where I could focus and stitch. I'll bet the plagiarism policy is going to turn out better without me at the meeting; I am all about making the statement simply this: plagiarism is presenting anyone else's written, auditory, visual or cooked material as your own. I added the "cooked" in there because I think it holds that if I present as my own the cooking of someone else, and I do not acknowledge that person, I have been plagiarizing. It is just as dishonest as any of the others, and, I might add, doing the same thing with textiles represents another form of plagiarism, but once you put it succinctly as "anyone else's material," you've realy covered it. If instead we try to detail EVERY possible form of plagiarism, inevitably, there will be a loophole.
So, did I make this myself? DAMN straight I did! And it is one complex sucker, but I can help anyone who is the slightest bit interested in this block, now that I've done it once. Ha, that is MY idea of mastery. Hey, my seams match!
