It’s getting close!!! Only a few more days and the Artwalk will be here…This Friday our quaint little town has an Artwalk for all the Galleries and Stores to show off their stuff… I am blessed to be able to sell my crochet items at Alpine Originals… They are featuring my “Art” for this months Artwalk…

Wow… Crochet being featured as the “Main display”… Who could imagine !!! Not just your Grannies doilies anymore… Crochet is so popular, and I hope to show some of what can be done with a little yarn(or fabric) and a hook!!!.

So I thought I would share what I made this weekend to add to the display… Of course there are many more items that are already at Alpine Originals… And,,, I plan to add just a few more in the upcoming days…

A Second Decorative Fabric Flag…

Patriotic Potholders… Fabric Too!

Another Set of Summer Skimmer Slippers…

Denim Colored Market Bag…

Finished True Colors Lap Size Afghan…

Whew,,, I am worn out just adding all the pictures,,, But it was fun making all of these items and I think I have a good variety…

So if your close by this Friday,,, Come see me at Alpine Originals between 4pm – 8pm… 304 N. Mt. Shasta Blvd… Mt Shasta!

So here is to The Art of Crochet and Tons of New Projects!

I have been working on so many great projects lately,,, And like most of my fellow crocheter’s,,, I have started a couple new ones…The first is a great Colorful Granny Square Blanket using my stash of yarn… It is going to someone very special…,, Next is a beautiful Tank Shell for me,,, The pattern available on Ravelry.com by Kim Guzman click Here.. I’m using comfy sport cotton from Knit Picks in Black… And lastly, I am working on a second Decorative Flag… Here are some pictures…

Squares For Colorful Granny Square Blanket,,, All 30 are ready to go!

Mine Will Be Black…

Another Decorative Flag…

Love this little tidbit… Yep,,, This is me!

The weather has taken a slight change this week,,, It has cooled off and feels like fall..Just a couple more days and it will be officially summer here…

The view from my work window this morning… A small dust of fresh snow on the top of Mt. Shasta from the weather last night….

So here is to working on lots of projects, procrochetination, and Summer on its way…

Patriotic Crochet

June 17, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

Patriotic, Whimsical and Crochet Art!! Every year I crochet one of these beauties to sell at Alpine Originals… They are always a hit!! You may wonder why only one,,, If you crochet alot, after one it becomes a job and not creativity… So if I whip two out back to back,,, I don’t love the work quite as much… It doesn’t take to long to make these,, maybe 5-6 hours… So here it is… Crochet Flag Rag Rug…Well,,, Wall hanging,,, We don’t walk on our flag!

2×3 Decorative Flag

My feet included,,, so you can judge the size…

And,,, Of course Charlie getting in the mix…

This year since I am featured in the Artwalk at Alpine Originals in just a couple of weeks,,, I have started a second Decorative Flag… Yes, It is work,,, but I am hoping to spread the art of crochet! My hook and hands will be very busy in the next couple weeks getting everything finished up so I can have a nice display… If you live close by make sure you come to the Artwalk on Friday June 28th!!

I will be working on the pattern over the next few months,, So stay tuned! For now it is all locked up in my head!

So here is to Flags, Crochet and Art!
