I think that it is like most other things where a person is just trying to make a living. I realize that you only wanted to post pictures on your blog….there are a lot of other people who take pictures to copy something, whether it be yarn colors or just the actual display. I have talked at length with a number of vendors, and the display is often as important as the yarn.

My guess is that if you had asked, most vendors would have been fine with pictures…in fact I saw someone who asked graciously and there was no problem….you probably just ran into the one vendor that had problems with pictures in the past.
