That didn't really answer my question, but it was REALLY cool. Thanks a lot. In retrospect, I guess this was a dumb question. It's sorta obvious that there's no way a password system could detail every color of the grid, so there's no way to send someone a pattern. I still don't know why I can't just give another animal in my village my pattern... there's got to be a way to do it. Then again, maybe the only way is to leave your design at the pattern store and hope someone likes it and wears it around.
