Wednesday Facebook Fan Favorite… Week 36!!

Spring is in the air and we are all enjoying the outdoors a little more… If you are like me, I don’t seem to have quite as much time to crochet… My yard needs my attention and I love the extra daylight and time spent taking walks!!  I still try to fit in a couple of hours a day working on crochet projects and designing … I guess I am still addicted!!

This week’s Facebook Fan Favorite is one of the greatest basic Daily Free Pattern Finds I have found… It is a great set of Free Patterns for Double Crochet Beanies in multiple sizes!!  These beanies are a great base for the start of all your hat designs and can be embellished to make them your very own style!!  It is from my friend Rhondda at Oombawka Designs!!  Rhondda has tons of great patterns and a wealth of crochet information!!  Stop by her website and check all the great Crochet out!!!  Click Here for the Free Double Crochet Beanie Pattern!!SONY DSC

The top Beatrice Ryan Designs Post for the week is still the Amazing Grace Tote Bag!!  As a matter fact, it is the top post for this month also!!  I had the pleasure of going out-of-town with my youngest daughter to buy her Senior Prom Dress… While out and about, we stopped at a Natural Food Grocery Store… They were a Bring Your Own Bag Store… And I had my totes with me…I loved green one I made in acrylic for the fruits and veggies!! It was very stretchy and didn’t smash any of my produce… I was able to fit all of my produce purchase into the bag… It is much larger than it seems in the picture… and it popped right back into shape once I emptied it!!!  I hope you will give this tote a try!!  Click Here for the Amazing Grace Tote Bag Free Pattern!
