Just the instructions?
Yesterday over on Facebook, among discussion about back-ordered Ivory cubes for the Dicey Knitting sets, someone suggested printing up just the instructions for people to buy and to make their own sets on their own dice.
Another idea would be to sell ‘kits’ of blank white dice and colored stickers to be applied, so knitters can make their own sets, but be involved in the process.
Any ideas? Would you be more inclined to buy “just the instructions” or a “make-your-own kit with pre-printed stickers”?

Since I’m the one that suggested it, I’ll chime in. Just seems like it would be a much more efficient way for you to offer the “game.” And yes, I’d probably be interested. I think that they might make some inexpensive gifts for my knitting friends. On the other hand, I would buy one set of instructions and make several gifts, so maybe not a good idea for you???
Have you copyrighted the instructions? If not, I’d strongly suggest doing that. And I’d add a note on them that they can only be used to make one set for personal use only. You don’t want someone buying the instructions and making multiple sets and selling them. They are your intellectual property and should be protected somehow.
Yes, there’s a copyright notice at the top of the instructions currently, and any future versions (like, for making your own set) would also bear a copyright notice.
