I am so excited once again to participate in a charity drive!!! This month through our ELK Studio From the Heart Group… We are donating to Nationwide Children’s Hospital Hematology/Oncology Unit. Over the last several months our group has provided hats, scarves and much more to many charities. This group was established by Kathy Lashley from ELK Studio Crochet Designs. Each month we have the privilege to donate our handmade items to a designated charity… If you are interested in joining our monthly charity donation group… Email Kathy at [email protected]!

This month I donated 5 hats… Four of the hats I used a Free Pattern designed by Kathy…It is her Houndstooth Hat Pattern! Click Here if you would like to get the Free Pattern. The 5th hat was a prototype I will be releasing this fall… I reminds me of sherbert!! I do love making hats… They work up so quickly!!

Monday Makings…

March 10, 2014 By Beatrice Ryan Designs 14 Comments

I have a large stack of WIP’s… What about you?? The majority of them are crochet projects that I fully intend to finish!!! But this week, my daughter asked me if I could Knit (yes Knit) a hat for her friend’s birthday,,, And she would by the yarn… How can you say no to that?? Well I guess if you didn’t know how to knit you would say no…lol.

So, She brought the yarn home… A gorgeous skein from Cascade Yarns Eco Duo line… It was a Alpacha/Merino Wool blend.. undyed. I don’t knit often, but I can do the basics… So I had her show me a picture of what type of beanie she wanted, and I dug out my knitting needles(well found them in my knitting drawer)! Then the fun began… I was nervous, I wanted it to turn out just as she wanted and also,,, not ruin the great yarn she bought… When you are making something for someone else’s vision,,, It is always a little scary!

Finally a few hours later… The hat was complete!! Yay,,, But I was worried it wasn’t what she had pictured,,, I thought it may be a little more slouchy than she wanted… When she arrived home later that evening I showed it to her and she was very happy… I was greatly relieved!!! So here it is,,, One of my few knitted projects…

Back to crocheting… Do you hear a sigh of relief?? I am so much faster and proficient with crochet, it is really my craft of choice!! But after knitting this hat,,,I thought… Hmmm maybe I will try a little more knitting in the future!

This week I also completed Week 8 of the Crochet-A-Long… We are nearing the end… The edging will be started in the next week or so… I am really happy with the afghan so far! All the pictures on Facebook Show and Tell have been really great… If you have time,, hop over to last Friday’s Show and Tell and check them out!!
