LabMom,

Welcome! Great name!

I'm sorry to say we lack the ability to track what happens with patterns once they're created. As we don't require exclusivity, people are free to make their patterns and sell them wherever they want, even if it isn't Stitchboard. For our site in particular, we strongly believe we don't have the right to tell people they must keep their own work exclusive to our site.

It may also be that the Stitchboard FreePatternWizard was used to create the pattern, rather than that being a location for where the pattern is being sold.

My best advice is if you can locate the designer, you may want to try contacting him or her and ask where the pattern may be purchased.
