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!!

Holiday Weekend Crochet…

May 27, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs 7 Comments

This weekend was a little quieter than most… I had the house to myself for the majority of Saturday and Sunday… So, how would I spend it… Crocheting of course (and some gardening)! I couldn’t wait to dig in to some new projects…

My crochet work will be featured at Alpine Originals for June’s Artwalk the fourth Friday of June… So, I am building up a large variety of crochet items for everyone to enjoy. I’m hoping to show crochet as more than just Afghans and Doilies… Over the next month I will be showing it off here too! I will also be making my “Annual” Flag Rugs and Flag Potholders… They are always popular and each year I make one Flag Rug to sell… This year I may make two being that I am featured right before The Fourth of July… Stay tuned for pictures of these Rugs…

Here is what I whipped up this weekend… Whew!

This cute hat is based on Karla Rae’s pattern for her Big Girl Bonnet on Ravelry. I made a few changes to the bill and used a smaller hook than recommended… Great pattern!

These Spiral Potholders are adapted from Barbara Langer’s Spiral Coaster/Potholder Pattern on Ravelry. I loosely followed her pattern and made several changes to get them just how I wanted them to turn out! Another great Ravelry pattern!

This is a great pattern by Lily/Sugar’n Cream for Mobile Phone Covers… My phone would love to sit in one of these… I closely followed their pattern,,, with only a few small adjustments…

I just love Ravelry… If you haven’t found it yet, check it out… It is the best Crochet Site for all levels of crocheters!

Well, 14 more items on their way to Alpine Originals… Wow, that was a lot of crocheting this weekend!

So here is to Ravelry, Artwalks and Crocheting!

Spirals and Baskets…

May 22, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

I’m kicking off my summer stock up of crochet to sell with a bang. With Memorial Day Weekend sneaking up quickly and my Ocean Waves Afghan completed, I am beginning to stock up and crochet as much as possible to have plenty to sell at Alpine Originals.

It is a true blessing to have an outlet to sell my items and the extra money will come in handy for our Annual Mother/daughter School Clothes and Mini Vacation trip late summer! Making money through my crochet work has been an amazing experience, and I’ve learned a lot along the way about increasing my income streams. I’ve also been exploring other opportunities and financial strategies like How to Short the Dollar UK, to diversify my earnings.

My head was full of ideas and things I wanted to make, so here is what I made last night…

Small Door Handle Baskets…

Spiral Dishcloths….

These adorable baskets are just the right size for storing the little things you need as you’re rushing out the door… I was inspired by several pattern I found online and each one took only 45 minutes to whip up using 2 strands of worsted weight yarn and an I hook!

The spiral dish cloths are much cuter in person and were originally inspired by a pot holder pattern, but once I got going I thought they would make a unique dishcloth! They were a little more work but only about 1 hour and done… These are made of cotton using a G Hook…

Floral Face Cloths and a Sweet Twine Basket…. Thanks to Carlee at Alpine Originals for this cute picture!

I added a few more Floral Face Cloths in Spring Green and Cream and a great Twine Basket with a Spring Green trim… I made these last week and forgot to show them off : )

Lots more on the way to share, and a couple new free patterns on the way!

So here is to Baskets, Spirals and Summer Crochet!
