I have avoided that at all costs, myself. I HAVE shared patterns for free and am always surprised at the amount of questions and the time it takes to reply and answer questions. I am quite happy to do my best for my friends here on KP who have helped me learn so much.

I don't think (to me) the few dollars I would make selling a pattern would be worth the investment in time it would take to receive orders, process orders, ship orders and answer the inevitable large amount of questions in a timely, efficient manner.

I asked a friend who sells her patterns on Ravelry and on her blog how it is working out for HER. Her response is that she earns much more money at her PT job at The Gap in a couple of hours per week than she does over a month of selling patterns.... A fraction of time spent to earn the same money AND less stress and effort.

I am sure some with actual experience selling patterns on Ravelry can contribute more information, but this has been my observation. Good luck to you!
