A friend suggested that I start a group on Ravelry since I’m formatting patterns to sell online as PDF files. Apparently a number of designers have groups. The idea was that I could answer questions, clarify instructions, gather suggestions and share the tidbits that I share when I’m teaching a class. When I investigated the process of setting up a Ravelry group, I discovered that I need to list three people to invite to join the group. Therein lies my first quandary. What if I listed someone who didn’t want to join the group but didn’t want to hurt my feelings by saying, “No”?
Bottom line, I’m exploding with ideas and would love to share them with someone. What do you think about the group idea?
Knitting, writing and other joys 
Just catching up with blogs and Ravelry. Of course I’ll join. I’ll go in right now and like you. 😉
Please do – I’d really like to join in and work along – wonderful idea. Your designs and your active participation in the group will keep the momentum going 😉 You are on my ‘FAV’ designers list on my Ravelry profile page.
On Rav you’ll find me as the ‘bushbunny’ and I’d luv to join.
I would like to join your group. I am, iknit4fun2 on ravelry.
Thanks,
Heather Janney
It’s a very, very good idea, Katherine.
Add me! I would love to share ideas with you. I am mshue on ravelry
i’d join your group! (i don’t have one–but i have considered one–)
I think of it as ‘branding”–my patterns/ my brand/ my control!
I found i was designer (with patterns uploaded!) under my name before i joined ravelry.. and while it was nice–i wouldn’t have made all the same name choices if i did it my self–
So go right ahead! get a group for yourself. (and PS–go look at my projects and see my new lace hat.. (you and Anne Modisett are my inspiration for lacy summer knit hats!)
I would love to join your group!! Even though I am your sister and I believe in you and your gifts. I love you. “Essie Weez”
