Wednesday Facebook Fan Favorite… Week 36!!

April 30, 2014 By Beatrice Ryan Designs 2 Comments

Spring is in the air and we are all enjoying the outdoors a little more… If you are like me, I don’t seem to have quite as much time to crochet… My yard needs my attention and I love the extra daylight and time spent taking walks!! I still try to fit in a couple of hours a day working on crochet projects and designing … I guess I am still addicted!!

This week’s Facebook Fan Favorite is one of the greatest basic Daily Free Pattern Finds I have found… It is a great set of Free Patterns for Double Crochet Beanies in multiple sizes!! These beanies are a great base for the start of all your hat designs and can be embellished to make them your very own style!! It is from my friend Rhondda at Oombawka Designs!! Rhondda has tons of great patterns and a wealth of crochet information!! Stop by her website and check all the great Crochet out!!! Click Here for the Free Double Crochet Beanie Pattern!!

This weeks top Free Crochet Pattern Round Up Find is from another great friend… Sara at My Merry Messy Life… She put together a great Round Up of Headband Patterns... Sara has an awesome website full of Crochet and Green/Natural Living ideas!!! She also founded our Crochet For Cancer CAL we all just finished!!! Stop by and see what Sara is up too!!! Click Here for her Free Crochet Headband Pattern Round Up!

The top Beatrice Ryan Designs Post for the week is still the Amazing Grace Tote Bag!! As a matter fact, it is the top post for this month also!! I had the pleasure of going out-of-town with my youngest daughter to buy her Senior Prom Dress… While out and about, we stopped at a Natural Food Grocery Store… They were a Bring Your Own Bag Store… And I had my totes with me…I loved green one I made in acrylic for the fruits and veggies!! It was very stretchy and didn’t smash any of my produce… I was able to fit all of my produce purchase into the bag… It is much larger than it seems in the picture… and it popped right back into shape once I emptied it!!! I hope you will give this tote a try!! Click Here for the Amazing Grace Tote Bag Free Pattern!

Happy Crocheting!!!

Crochet For Cancer CAL… Amazing Grace Remix…

April 18, 2014 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

Are you almost ready to send in your Crochet For Cancer CAL projects?? I have several ready to go!! If you haven’t read about this great event… here is the basic info…

A couple of weeks ago myself and 9 of my Crochet Blogging friends got together and started a Crochet For Cancer CAL charity drive… We all donated tons of Free Crochet Patterns for you to use and the donations will be going to Hooks For Hope… A chapter of Crochet for Cancer…By donating 4 handmade hats or 2 larger projects, you can be eligible for the Red Heart Prize Package Drawing… Click Here for detailed information and the list of Free Patterns!!! #CrochetForCancerCAL

One of my Free Patterns is my very popular Amazing Grace Hat… So last night I whipped up another one to put in my donation package… This time I mixed it up… I made it two-tone!!! I used my left over yarn from my CAL Afghan… It is Vanna’s Choice by Lion Brand Yarn… What do you think of this Amazing Grace Hat Remixed??

Next on my list to donate… is my latest Amazing Grace Project… The Amazing Grace Tote Bag… I did a little Remix on this one too!!! I made this one two-tone and I used Cotton Yarn… I loved the way it turned out!!! The cotton gave it a completely different feel and the two-tone is my daughters favorite one so far!!! What do you think??

Both of these were so much fun!!! I hope you will give them both a try and also consider donating to this great cause and if you are… Good Luck on the Giveaway!!

Happy Crocheting!!
