Crochet Cowl Crazy!

August 25, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs 4 Comments

This weekend I started several new projects… Trying to get ready for Fall and Christmas both in my Etsy Shop and at Alpine Originals… I am still finalizing my” Sadie” Pattern and have almost got it together for my tester… I worked on another cute pair of children’s Crocodile Boots and started a pair of really cute boot cuffs from Elk Studio Hancrafted Crochet Designs Free Patterns… All of these took some concentration and pattern reading… So they are all work in progress pieces, along with a couple Afghans I have on the hook…

Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending the day at an out-of-town Volleyball Tournament with my beautiful daughter that is starting her senior year tomorrow!!!…

Well, I can’t really concentrate on pattern reading in the bleachers of some exciting games… Hmmm… So what to take… Ok, I decided to make up some Infinity Cowls… Last week on my Facebook Free Pattern segment,,, I featured a really cute cowl from Ravelry, Lots of you really like this pattern that I featured… So I made one up, inspired by some of her design,,, And of course… I had to add some of my own touches! A ruffled edge and my own flower that I use on most of my designs… It was made with a great teal color from Caron Simply Soft…Love it!

Infinity Cowl Scarf In Teal…

By the time we got home and got reorganized,,, I sat down for a little more crochet… Since I was on a roll and several people asked for the pattern I used last week in my Infinity Cowl with Sequins,,, I thought I should continue to work on that pattern too! So because I had just picked up some more yarn,,, I pulled out some great chunky yarn in Pink that I just bought by Deborah Norville… I whipped up another one of my own designs and decided it needed to have one of my flowers too! This pattern is more a cowl than a scarf… I love the way this one turned out too!!!

Pink Infinity Cowl with Flower…

What do you think… I can’t decide!!! I want to keep both for myself,,, But,,, I am putting them both in my Etsy Shop!

So here is to Crocheting at Volleyball, Infinity Cowls and Flowers!

It’s Friday… Ahhhh… The weekend is almost here!!! Lots of projects to work on… End of summer days to enjoy the outdoors and a new project off the hook…

Last night I needed a break from pattern writing for my upcoming hat… Sadie… I love her,,, But, my mind spins with pattern writing!! So, I sat down with some new yarn I bought a couple of weeks back… Mohair, Acrylic and Sequins… Yummm!!!! With fall beginning to creep in our air here in Northern California… I decided some nice new cowls would be great for my Etsy Shop!! And wow… They were quick and easy and with this fabulous yarn they are so beautiful!!
