Monday Makings… Crochet Jewelry!!

May 5, 2014 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

Have you ever crocheted jewelery?? I have made several crochet jewelery pieces during my crochet journey!! Recently I have been noticing hoop earrings with miniature doilies crocheted on to them (well doilies may not be the right wording, but that is what I thought they looked like..lol) … I love to do thread crochet, but hadn’t tried this cute technique yet… So this weekend when I was giving my design brain a break from trying to figure out an edging for my upcoming afghan pattern… I decided to whip up a few pairs of earrings…

Simple Summertime Earrings…

I made the pattern up as I crocheted… and I think I like the way they turned out!! What do you think?? Would you like me to publish this as a Free Crochet Pattern?? These are easy to make and very inexpensive too!! They just take a little patience!!

Happy Crocheting!

Wednesday Facebook Fan Favorite… Week 36!!

April 30, 2014 By Beatrice Ryan Designs 2 Comments

Spring is in the air and we are all enjoying the outdoors a little more… If you are like me, I don’t seem to have quite as much time to crochet… My yard needs my attention and I love the extra daylight and time spent taking walks!! I still try to fit in a couple of hours a day working on crochet projects and designing … I guess I am still addicted!!

This week’s Facebook Fan Favorite is one of the greatest basic Daily Free Pattern Finds I have found… It is a great set of Free Patterns for Double Crochet Beanies in multiple sizes!! These beanies are a great base for the start of all your hat designs and can be embellished to make them your very own style!! It is from my friend Rhondda at Oombawka Designs!! Rhondda has tons of great patterns and a wealth of crochet information!! Stop by her website and check all the great Crochet out!!! Click Here for the Free Double Crochet Beanie Pattern!!

This weeks top Free Crochet Pattern Round Up Find is from another great friend… Sara at My Merry Messy Life… She put together a great Round Up of Headband Patterns... Sara has an awesome website full of Crochet and Green/Natural Living ideas!!! She also founded our Crochet For Cancer CAL we all just finished!!! Stop by and see what Sara is up too!!! Click Here for her Free Crochet Headband Pattern Round Up!

The top Beatrice Ryan Designs Post for the week is still the Amazing Grace Tote Bag!! As a matter fact, it is the top post for this month also!! I had the pleasure of going out-of-town with my youngest daughter to buy her Senior Prom Dress… While out and about, we stopped at a Natural Food Grocery Store… They were a Bring Your Own Bag Store… And I had my totes with me…I loved green one I made in acrylic for the fruits and veggies!! It was very stretchy and didn’t smash any of my produce… I was able to fit all of my produce purchase into the bag… It is much larger than it seems in the picture… and it popped right back into shape once I emptied it!!! I hope you will give this tote a try!! Click Here for the Amazing Grace Tote Bag Free Pattern!
