March 22, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

Last night I finished up the last two items for Alpine Originals children’s theme for the local Art Walk,,, Owl Hat’s…. The Art Walk is today from 4pm to 7pm in downtown Mt. Shasta …. Many galleries and shops will be open late to show off the different types of art we have in our town… It’s fun and so many great items in the shops!

Children’s Owl Hats…

This is a great Children’s Owl Hat Pattern you can get for free from one of my favorite crochet sites… Repeat Crafter Me . She always has great projects and tips… Check it out!

I will be hanging out for a bit at Alpine Originals this evening to support this event and promote National Crochet Month! If you happen to be around, stop by and check out our local artist’s handmade items!

So here is to Art Walks, Owl Hats and National Crochet Month!

Market Bag Mania

March 13, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

Are you ready for the upcoming season of Farmer’s Market’s?? Soon the season will be here where in our communities the markets will be getting under way!

I have been working solely on children’s items the last few weeks to prepare for the art walk here in town… I was so ready to move on to something new… Something I had never made in my crochet career. I wanted to make something quick and easy, no pattern required…. So, I browsed crochet sites and sifted through my stash to get some fresh ideas… A MARKET BAG… Yes, I have always wanted one and knew it would be easy and quick! I had plenty of cotton yarn to complete at least 1 or 2 bags!

My Newest Creation,,, A Market Bag…

It has a solid Single Crochet bottom and Triple Crochet mesh sides. In just a couple of hours it was done… It is large, the picture doesn’t do it justice! The bag itself is about 18″-20″ tall the base is 12″-14″ across. From my shoulder it hangs mid-thigh with nothing in it… Perfect for a big shopping trip… It would bring home a lot of yarn!

But like most crocheter’s, I decided to not keep this great creation… So off it goes to Alpine Originals for some other lucky shopper! I couldn’t just make one of course… So, the base of a coral one is already started!

So here is to Crochet and Market Bags…

SHELLS AND SUNSHINE COCOON & HAT SET

March 11, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

Spring is on its way, and a little sunshine will be nice. I completed my next pattern over the weekend and made two sample sets… I am hoping I got all the little quirks worked out and I will be posting the free pattern later this week for these cute little baby Cocoon & Hat Sets. I tossed around the thought of what to call the pattern and since the sweet little yellow one was the first one completed, I decided to call them Shells & Sunshine Cocoon and Hat Set !

I will be carefully going over the pattern a couple more times to make sure it works before I post it. The pattern is simple and works up quickly. The set could be made up in just a few hours if you had a baby shower to go too! The set is for newborn – 3 months.

These 2 sets will be delivered as usual to Alpine Originals to put up for sale. Like I was saying last post, they are participating later this month in the our city’s Art Walk… The display they have this month is focusing on artists with children’s items. So… I have been working at record speed to make several items that fit in that category!

Don’t forget to check back later this week for the Free Pattern for this set… I hope you love it and I would love to hear from you when you make it!

So here is to Spring and Sunshine… And Celebrating National Crochet Month!
