Breast Cancer Awareness… If you have been following along,,, Or just stopped by my blog after seeing one of my FREE PATTERNS… You know I have a place in my heart for Breast Cancer… My last 2 Free Crochet Patterns, the Amazing Grace Series have been dedicated to Breast Cancer Awareness…

.

This weekend to celebrate my 50th birthday… I bought some really nice yarn… Bernat Sequins… I decided each skein would make at least 1 Amazing Grace Headband… So I grabbed my hook and whipped a few up… I loved the way these headbands turned out with the sequins!… The yarn is soft and nice to work with too… Such a bonus!. The picture below doesn’t really show how beautiful the sequins are…

.

I Love, Love, Love the colors and the pink is fabulous for our cause!

.

The pictures don’t do them justice! I am saving up for a new camera!!!!!

.

Also this weekend I set out to finalize my “Sadie” Pattern… The 1920’s Style Cloche... While typing it up so it can be digitally sent… My computer crashed (yes, every writer’s nightmare) and I lost what I had been typing… All is good though… I just restarted my process and it is almost finalized… I hope you all are looking forward to this great hat!

Celebrating International Crochet Day…!!!

September 12, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs 16 Comments

Today is International Crochet Day!!! Wow… I think it should be a holiday,,, So we can gather to crochet!!!

.

So to celebrate,,, I would love to hear from all of you… Who taught you to crochet and how long have you been “Hooking”?? Here is my short story…

.

When I was 10 my grandmother Beatrice Sadie Ryan Ramshaw taught me to crochet… She bought a skein of my favorite color yarn for me to get started, Deep Purple!!!! My first project was a Granny Blanket… Just one big Granny Square! I wish I still had that first project… But, What I do have are several of Beatrice’s Afghans, Doilies, and her love of crochet! For the most part crochet was put in a box for many years, doing a small project once in a while until I reached my mid 20″s… Then the fire was lit… I have crocheted hundreds of projects and learned the true art of crochet… I hope you enjoy my love of crochet!

.

So, now you know why I call my website Beatrice Ryan Designs and my upcoming pattern “Sadie”(her middle name) a 1920’s style inspired hat pattern will be released soon in honor of my grandmother!

.

Now it’s your turn,,, Tell me your crochet story… Just leave a short comment so we can all celebrate together!

Crochet Children’s Boots…

September 9, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

Last month I made a few pairs of these adorable Children’s Boot Slippers… They are very popular with many crocheter’s and I have had many comments on the one’s I made…

Recently I had an order for 2 pairs… They are a little bit of work, but the results are wonderful and worth the time spent! I found this pattern on Ravelry from Bonita Patterns… She tons of great patterns! So check out her page http://www.ravelry.com/designers/bonita-patterns , I think you will be amazed! Most of her patterns are for purchase, but worth the price!

Here are some pictures of the finished projects!

Custom order.. Bottoms coated with Glow In The Dark dimensional paint….

These were the first two pairs I made a few weeks ago…

It feels good to have some of my projects done and off the hook… I also worked on my Pewter And Berries Granny Chevron… It is close… Can’t wait to show you…!

So here is to Custom orders, Cute Children’s Slippers and Finishing Projects.
