Hobo Granny….

April 9, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs 7 Comments

If I don’t have a hook in my hand and yarn trailing across the chair,,, something is definitely wrong! The calming sense of the soft fiber and beautiful colors bring joy to my evenings and weekends… Counting stitches, rows and inches almost seems to ease the worlds worries away!

Last night I finished up this beautiful Hobo Granny Bag! 22 Granny Squares joined into this Hobo Style Bag… Maze, Gray, Aqua and Plum yarn make this bag work for any season… Once it was done, I tried it on for size… I so wanted to keep it! But like you know if you hang out here very much,,, almost everything is given away to a loved one or sold at Alpine Originals…This lovely bag will be delivered later today for some lucky bag collector to purchase!

Granny Hobo Bag!

I have 3 current project going… Maybe more if I look around… 1. Camo Baby Granny Blanket… 2. Spring Colors Granny Blanket (size undetermined)… 3. Mini Granny Purse… Always something in the works… The Spring Granny is what I am loving and will finish next! Pictures to be posted soon!! I am also working on my next Free Pattern,,, So stay tuned!

So here is to Granny, Bags and Projects!.

A Lovely Blanket….

My Sunburst Granny Square Blanket is done!!!! I loved the way it turned out, nice size and perfect weight. Working off and on it took less than a month to complete… I used a ton of my scrap yarn up too!

When I presented this lovely blanket in front of my family, I could tell they all admired it….My 17-year-old daughters response was one I kind of expected,,, She asked if she could have it… I haven’t decided if it is hers yet,,, It may need to be a part of our living-room for a bit!

It’s Almost Done… National Crochet Month & Sunburst Granny!

March 29, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

I decided to get busy on my Sunburst Granny Square Blanket .. I’m still not sure of the size I want though, … I now have 45 squares complete and will need somewhere between 48-63 squares to make a nice size blanket! I am tempted to stop at 48 so I can join them and put an edging on… I only need 48 to make a twin topper,,, 63 for a queen… Hmmmm! Well, I will have to decide tonight… I actually could have this beautiful blanket done this weekend if I do 48 squares!

I really have enjoyed making this blanket,,, and for once I am keeping it for myself…YAY! Hopefully one of my children don’t want to steal it,,, I always give in!

These are a few of my favorite combinations…

This reminds me of my childhood bedroom colors… My Grandmother Beatrice Ryan Ramshaw painted my room purple for me when I was 8 years old… Loved it! She made a crochet loopy rug in these colors for my floor… I wish I still had it… Maybe I should make a replica!

Don’t forget this is still National Crochet Month… Stretch yourself into learning how to crochet, reading patterns or new stitches!

Here is to finishing projects and National Crochet Month…
