Quick Crochet Giftables…

December 3, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

Over the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend I had lots of Grandsugar and family time… All my children were home with their kids and we had a blast!!! We attended the Annual Christmas Tree Lighting along with Santa’s Workshop… We ate so much food, talked till we couldn’t and stayed up late! Sunday afternoon after the kids headed home,,, It was time to get my hook out and get some quick crochet projects done… Time to stock up for Christmas!..

.

Last week over on Facebook I featured some really cute items in my daily Free Pattern Find segment… They were really popular with all of you and so I thought I would make some of them up… The first project was an adorable Animal Wash Mit…. the pattern is free and worked up easily… It was by chart and written instruction…

.

I loved the way they turned out… I made two frogs and a pig… My grandson took one home,,, Guess which one! Click Here for the link to the pattern!

.

The second project I worked up was another Facebook favorite… Victorian Candy Cane Covers… They were very fast!!! I made 12 of them in just a couple of hours!!

.

These would be great as stocking stuffer’s… Quick gifts for friends or to hang on your tree!! Click here for the Free Pattern!

.

Also… I had another fun article published over at The Yarn Box... If you haven’t visited them yet,,, you are missing out!!!

Christmas and Crochet-A-Long is just around the corner!!

Wow… Just 4 1/2 weeks and Christmas will be here!!! I better get going on my crochet projects… I need to keep my fingers working,,, This is the busiest season for crochet sales… Hats are flying off the shelf… Once the season starts to change and we get chilly days, Hats are my biggest seller… But, as far as having a great variety, Children’s items are great too! So this morning I started a great Sweet Baby Hoodie by Bernat Design Studio, not only is it cute,,, but it is a free pattern… I would love to put a couple of these in the shop for Christmas shoppers!

I also have started a pair of knitted socks for my daughter… Last year she asked me to make her a pair with Christmas Yarn… I didn’t have time last year,,, So I thought I would give it a try for this year… Several years ago I took a knitting class at the Jr College here for Sock Knitting… So much fun! One of the best parts that came out of it (besides learning how to knit socks) was I got the job as an adjunct crochet teacher for the college… One of the best jobs I ever scored… Not only did I get to teach what I love,,, but I was paid a nice fee for it too!

.

I am just a small town girl... well, woman! I was born and raised in Mt Shasta California and have raised my three children here in this mountain community. I have the pure joy of also having two beautiful grandchildren.. When I was 10 my grandmother taught me to crochet,,, A Granny Square patten was my first project. Her name was Beatrice Ryan Ramshaw, a tiny Irish powerhouse! All my memories include her crocheting... Tablecloths, slippers, doilies and blankets. As a young woman the bug got me,,, I began crocheting and haven't stopped! 40 years of experience and many beautiful projects under my belt.... Join me in this journey,,, passed down from generation to generation... keeping alive the skills and beauty of Crochet!
