I just sold my first pattern!

I just published and sold my first pattern on my website, redearthknitting.com. A whopping 3 people have bought one! lol. (Here's the link if you'd like to see it.) It's a tank that I knitted at the end of last summer and wrote the directions up for it, but just never got around to doing anything with it for two reasons. One, I had read a tirade from a designer about how if you submit a design to a magazine and they accept it, they then 'own' it and can sell it for whatever price they choose, and can even offer it as a freebie with the purchase of something else. But then, to try and sell patterns on my own, I'd have to set up a website and figure out the shopping cart and payment stuff, which sounded like a lot of work for someone who's too cheap to pay someone else to do it when they're perfectly intelligent enough to figure it out on their own (I used to do websites and lite programming as an engineer). But I finally caught a free hour last week to investigate and set it up (and of course, the first buyer couldn't get it to work and I had to figure out what was wrong), and now I'm a 'designer'!
