Don’t walk in front of me;
I may not follow.
Don’t walk behind me;
I may not lead.
Just walk beside me and
be my friend.
[Albert Camus]
Thanks for the encouragement to start the Ravelry group. It is up and running. I am looking forward to learning a lot from the group members. I’d love to have input for improving my patterns so that they are usable for all skill levels. My next step is to gather all my free patterns that are wondering around in what my sister calls “the black hole of the world wide web.” I’ll put them on Ravelry so folks can download them to try out. That way they won’t be buying a pig in a poke if they purchase one of my PDFs.
Knitting, writing and other joys 
I will visit Ravelry as a “regular” now that you are up and running. I loved Sue’s comment – she’s ready as well.

I’m in! Knitting needles and Ipad poised.
What a darling comment!! Joan
It will take a few days for the group to take off–but it will grow quickly–
As an admin, you can create a page of links –and list books, (like A Gathering of Lace) that feature your patterns, too.
You can also list your teaching schedule–and news items.. there are lots of ways to make the group really useful.
(its just another way to work your fingers to the bone!)
