Summertime Crochet Shell!

.

So I finally finished the cute tank top I have been working on!  It turned out better than I imagined it would!  Usually when I make myself a garment it doesn’t fit as well as this one does… I made a couple adjustments to the pattern, but this is a super simple, quick pattern if you are looking for something to make for yourself this summer!  It is on Ravelry for a free download, by Kim Guzman… Shell Shell is the name of the pattern…Click here to check it out.  I made mine using a Black Cotton Yarn from Knit Picks!  It is a little hard to see the details in the picture, but it is really cute… I am going to buy some bright Cami’s to where under it so it shows off the pattern!  Tell me what you think!!!

I added some extra rows to the shoulder area and finished all the edges with a reverse sc, those were the only changes needed to make it to my taste!… This is a size small…

I am about halfway done with my next True Colors Afghan for my Etsy Shop… I will post the pictures when it’s done…  Summer seems to be a slower time for crochet… But I still do a couple of hours each evening!

Today is another milestone!  I finally got my nerve up to open an Etsy Store!  I have wanted to try opening one for quite a while, but the thought of it was a little overwhelming!  Getting to know my friend Kathy over at Elk Studio Handcrafted Crochet Design was really inspiring… I have watched her recently publish a beautiful Southern and Sassy Hat Pattern (You really need to check it out!) and checked out her Etsy sight… So, I dug in and opened mine… Click here to see BeatriceRyanDesigns new Etsy Shop!!!!!

Owl Art

Last night,,, After attending a great birthday party for my best friend (Lots of Laughs and Great Food!),,, I had just a little bit of free time… Hmmm… What should I do???    Well, of course I crocheted!  I only have a couple more days to finish anything I want to display in the Artwalk…  So,,, Something quick, simple and very cute!  An Owl Hat!  I found this pattern at one of my very favorite blogs Repeat Crafter Me.  She has so many cute patterns,  make sure to check out her site!  She just posted her latest pattern for a Zebra Hat… It is so great!

.

So I whipped up one of these hats last night and as usual I love this sweet hat!
