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!

Summer Skimmer Slippers…

June 7, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs 2 Comments

Another awesome project finished for the Artwalk… I have made several pairs of these great Skimmer Slippers by Hook Candy. You can find the pattern at hookcandy.com or on Ravelry. It is a great pattern and it is available to purchase, but well worth it. I love free patterns, but I also don’t mind paying for a great pattern! A lot of work goes into writing and testing patterns, so I think its great to support a fellow crocheter in their business!

Summertime Skimmer Slipper…

Super comfortable and non skid…

The soles are double layered and very comfortable, I added Glow In The Dark Dimensional Fabric Paint on the bottoms for a non skid effect. These work up in just a few hours of work and are a great gift or a treat for yourself! Give them a try and check out her other patterns too!

So here is to slippers, Artwalks and Glow in the Dark!

Hats and Bags….

June 6, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

I have been working on a few new items to take to Alpine Originals for the upcoming Artwalk… I am finally getting a good variety of different crochet items to share and sell… Since the Artwalk isn’t until the 21st, I have a couple more weeks to get a lot done!!! I have some really great things planned… But, for now I thought I would share what I just finished…

Cotton Brimmed Hats…

Large Square Bottom Tote Bags…

These cute cotton hats are a pattern I found on Ravelry by Drops Designs and you can find the pattern here…

These awesome totes were also found on Ravelry by bobwilson123 and you can find the pattern here…

Both of these patterns are very easy and work up quickly… I was able to complete each one of these in just a few hours… They would make great gifts or would be nice to keep for yourself too!!!

Stay tuned for some really great 4th of July items I will be working on in the next couple weeks!

So here is to Bags, Hats, Artwalks and Summertime! Enjoy!!
