Another Busy Day for this Bee! Day 6 Knit & Crochet Blog Week… 4KCBWDAY6

.

    Once again I have a busy Bee! I worked on my Crochet-A-Long Ocean Waves Afghan Challenge and completed a set of Pink Face Cloths for Alpine Originals…  Some time soon I would like to get my Etsy Store up and going,,, But, I will have to find a little time to do that in my busy schedule!

I was very blessed today to attend one of my dearest friends 70th Birthday party… We all had a fabulous lunch and lots of laughs!  Yesterday was a Varsity Track Meet for my 17 Year Old Daughter… That is always a fun time together and there was finally plenty of Sun… I think Spring has arrived…

So,,, Today’s assignment for the Knit & Crochet Blog Week Challenge is to talk about your favorite tool… Hands down my favorite tool are these Great Wooden Crochet Hooks!  I am building my set and only have a few, but I love working with them far more than any others I have used!  They are very comfortable in my hand and  pick up the yarn perfectly…

COLOR!!! Knit & Crochet Blog Week Day 4… 4KCBWDAY4

I can’t believe it’s already day 4 of this Knit & Crochet Blog Week Celebration!  Today’s assignment is to show and talk about our favorite colors to work with and what colors are in our stash…

I Love Color!  I have so much fun mixing new color ideas in each project… One of my favorite things is to use random colors,,, not trying to match or coordinate… The projects I do this way almost always turn out to be my favorite ones…

Last night I did get done all of my Crochet Goals for the day… I worked on the Ocean Waves Afghan Challenge Blanket… Made a set of Colorful Flower Coasters (see the bottom of this post for a little surprise!), And… I made my first 2 squares for Sarah London’s Crochet-A-Long,,, 2013 Wool-Eaters Motif Blanket… I was one busy Bee!!!!  We also had a fabulous Bible Study,,, Such great ladies in my group!

I do lean towards vibrant colors in my projects,,, But Cream is my favorite base color… like in my Sunburst Granny Square Blanket…

My Stash is a completely different story… It has everything.. I try to pick yarn up when it’s on sale… So when I see something that’s a good deal, I grab it!  I love working with all types of yarns, but my main stash is Acrylic Yarn and Cotton Yarn… The yarn is available in so many great colors now! Love our choices we have to choose from!

.

This House of Bee’s is going to have to work hard once again today… After work I have to work on both The Challenge Afghan and the Crochet-A-Long… Also,,, I will be working on some project to sell and… Here is my little SURPRISE I promised at the top of the post…

…In the next few days I will post another FREE PATTERN… The Flower Coasters Set Pattern will be available right here at Beatrice Ryan Designs and on my Ravelry Page…

.

So Here is to Color, Yarn and A New Free Pattern!
