I have just published my first eBook on Ravelry. 
My “Celtic Knot Coasters ebook” Never sure whether I should capitalise the ‘B’ in eBook or not.
It pulls together all my present Celtic Coaster patterns
plus my more recent Triquetra Knot Coaster as a bonus pattern.
And I have even made three sales.
I put a lot of work into the ebook though it is pdf format not epub as that is the only format Ravelry allows. Mind you, when I experimented with saving the patterns as an epub file I found that it does funny things to the pictures so pdf is more satisfactory.
I included print friendly (i.e. no photographs) versions at the end of the book but did a bit of editing of the patterns, mainly language, before it was concluded so I hope I changed everything in step.
Oh Wow! well done! I have been wondering about making an eBook of my wigs, but now it will take a long and focussed time. Full of admiration Jane!!!!!

Yes it did take a lot of work. Especially as I proof read it and then decided I could improve on the original patterns in small, mainly linguistic ways. I did it for the fun and the challenge though.

How wonderful for you. I am so glad you were able to do this and hope sales pick up. I know alot of folks look at this type of crochet and shake their heads as too hard… .. now with your book, it might be easier for tehm.

The original Celtic Coasters pattern is my most popular but I thought it would be fun to give people the chance to have all my Celtic Knot coaster patterns in one place.

I am not expecting to sell great numbers as most people just seem to want the original Celtic coaster but it was fun to sell some straightaway. I expect it was because the Triqutra coaster appeared on Ravelry’s recent list.

Well I am pleased with it and pleased to have done it. I did show an early version to my daughter and she thought it looked okay – not that she crochets!

Thank you! I enjoyed merging the patterns into a book with a contents page and links.

I don’t normally purchase books anymore as there are so many free patterns to choose from. But I wish to be an encouragement to a fellow craftsman who has more guts than me… to put it all together in a book!

I know what you mean about free patterns. I look for them first though I have paid for some special ones. I try to make my patterns moderately priced and I do feel people are paying for the effort of making a pdf. I also have free ones that are just in posts and less checked.
