The Patriotic Owl and His Cute Friend!

June 27, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

I don’t want to bore you with the same projects back to back,,, But,,, Yesterday after I dropped off the Owl Hat at Alpine Original,,, Debbie (My good friend and Owner) messaged me to let me know… It sold as soon as she put it up on the display… We had been talking about what else I should try to whip up for my display before Friday’s Artwalk,,, I had a few ideas of some easy, cute projects that would fill in the spaces… Maybe another pair of Skimmer Slippers,,, Some Patriotic Potholders,,,

Well,,,With the news of the Owl Hat selling right off the bat,,, The answer was easy… So with my stash of yarn and my favorite hook,,, I whipped up two more Owl Hats last night! I couldn’t resist making a patriotic one! If you like this hat,,, The pattern is available at Repeat Crafter Me. While your are there… Check out all of her patterns!

I may try to make one more project tonight… The Artwalk is finally near… Tomorrow from 4pm-7pm on Mt Shasta Blvd… Check it out if you are in town… And make sure you stop in and see me at Alpine Originals!!.

So here is to Patriotic, Owl Hats and Artwalks!.

A Crocheter’s Dozen…

June 25, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

Last night I worked on just a few more items for the Artwalk… I tried to think of something I could make several of in just a couple of hours… Hmmm,,, Bracelets… So, after I finished up my latest rug that I started the day before,,, I got to work on the bracelets! I was inspired by a pattern I found at feltedbutton.com and decided to whip up a Crocheter’s Dozen of my modified version… You may wonder why I am calling it a Crocheter’s Dozen… Well, I couldn’t stop at just 12, so I made 14… I wanted a good variety of colors and that’s what I ended up with!! Baker’s add one to their dozen,,, So why not add two for us crocheter’s!

These bracelet’s are made from Cotton Yarn and a Size I Hook… I used single crochet in the same pattern stitch as the one from Felted Button. I added the button instead of a clasp and the loop at the end to go over the button. Her pattern is easy to follow and I like the idea of the clasp,,, I just didn’t have any… So I winged it! Each bracelet only took a few minutes and on a scale of 1-10,, 1 Easy-10 Very Hard,,, These are definitely a 1!

I also wanted to share the other project I finished up last night. I have been making Rag Rugs for years and I love them so much… They are fairly simple to make and hold up great! This Rug is 32″ across and is easy care… Just wash and dry in your machine! This rug took just a few hours and I was happy with the results!

Round Rag Rug, Black-Red-Green-White

So here is to Crocheter’s Dozen’s, Rag Rugs, Bracelets and Artwalks!

Mega Crochet

It’s getting close!!! Only a few more days and the Artwalk will be here…This Friday our quaint little town has an Artwalk for all the Galleries and Stores to show off their stuff… I am blessed to be able to sell my crochet items at Alpine Originals… They are featuring my “Art” for this months Artwalk…

Wow… Crochet being featured as the “Main display”… Who could imagine !!! Not just your Grannies doilies anymore… Crochet is so popular, and I hope to show some of what can be done with a little yarn(or fabric) and a hook!!!.

So I thought I would share what I made this weekend to add to the display… Of course there are many more items that are already at Alpine Originals… And,,, I plan to add just a few more in the upcoming days…
