May 12, 2014 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

I love when Friday rolls around and I get off work (Billing Supervisor for an Internet Company)… I whirl through the house and do a quick clean up… Then it’s time for WEEKEND CROCHET!! I sit in my comfy chair,,, Turn a movie or my favorite TV show on… and start crocheting!!! I have so many projects on my list… Currently I have 4 design patterns on my list,,, Each in a different stage of the process.. This week I am releasing a new blanket… Here is a sneak peek!!

Free Pattern Coming This Week!!

I also have some cute earrings coming out soon, a hat and…. The next Amazing Grace Pattern!!!!

Now on to the Free Crochet Pattern Review!! Earlier this week I posted a fun pattern to my Facebook page… Everyone loved it.. So this weekend when I sat down to crochet… I worked up 4 of these great dishcloths!! The pattern is Simply Square Log Cabin Dishcloths by Deborah Ellis… The pattern was easy to follow and worked up very quickly… and one of the best parts of this great pattern,,, I was able to use up my scraps of cotton yarn!! So far everyone who I have shown them to fell in love… Well worth trying!! Click Here to head over to the Free Pattern!!

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!!
