Just Another Friday Night!

February 15, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

SO… It’s Friday Night and time to put my feet up! I had been thinking all day what I wanted to work on tonight. It seems like I am always making things for someone else or something to sell… I decided it was ME time!!! But, what did I want to make for myself??

It’s been so long since I’ve done that, the thought of it was a little overwhelming. I scanned my favorite sites and blogs for ideas and finally I decided on a Granny Square Blanket… I have thought about it for years and now it’s time!

I found a great pattern on Ravelry… Sunburst Granny Squares by Priscilla’s Crochet. I gathered up my stash and my favorite hook and now it’s time to get started!

Check back to see my progress!

Love of Crochet

February 14, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

It just seemed fitting that today I would begin my new journey and write about my love for crochet. When I was 10, my grandmother Beatrice Ryan Ramshaw ( A Little Irish Powerhouse) taught me her love of crocheting…. My first project was a Purple Granny Square Blanket…At 10, I think every girl loves purple!

Over the years I have made and designed hundreds of crochet projects and would love to bring some of my ideas to life for you to enjoy! I no longer have that Purple Blanket, but soon I will be posting pictures and patterns. I hope to leave a legacy for the art of crochet to continue for many generations. Both of my daughters Nicole 28 and Mackenzie 16 have taken up this family hobby and I couldn’t be more thrilled! So here is to the Love of Crochet!

I made these Heart Brooch’s and they can be found at Alpine Originals in Mt. Shasta
