Crochet with Me!! Winter 2017 CAL… Here is Week 5 Instructions!!

This week the assignment is all about adding a little length from the squarish afghan, transitioning it to more of a rectangle… I love adding all these stitch combinations, my home is filled with all the whimsical afghans I have created over the years! This week, the stitch pattern is a 2 row repeat and once you get the hang of it… This section flys by!!

I hope you will love the addition, and don’t forget… I will be giving you a fill in option for the center.. So stay tuned next week for that!

Also, Next week I will be posting the information and rules on the GIVEAWAY that Red Heart is sponsoring… I love Red Heart Yarns and With Love make such great afghans!!

If you haven’t joined our Beatrice Ryan Designs CAL Group… You may want to,, even if it is just to see all the great progress pics… And, I will continue to have Crochet Alongs all year long. So, you may want to be part of the fun CAL’s all year long…

Monday Makings… A new look and lots of crochet coming you way!!

August 25, 2014 By Beatrice Ryan Designs 1 Comment

I didn’t get much crocheting accomplished.. Over the weekend I was busily working on the website making the new changes.. Many things are still the same, but I did change the theme slightly which changed the top of the site and the boxes the posts are in… Also some of the advertising is positioned a little differently… You may wonder why I have had advertising in the past and why it will be added this time too… Running a website isn’t free and it helps off set the cost of the website and the costs of designing and publishing my free patterns…

One of the best upgrades in my opinion,,, besides the cute theme… Is the Print Friendly button at the bottom of each post… This nice little button will make it very easy for you to print out my patterns without all the other pieces of the website… You click on it and it takes you to a screen with the page you are wanting to print…

Look for this button at the bottom of each page!

This is one of my favorite tools!!

Here is what you can do with Print Friendly…

1. Print

2. Make a PDF

3. Send it as an email

4. Delete the sections you don’t want to print… Very customizable!!

This is one of my favorite tools!! You will find the button at the bottom left of each post… above “Related Posts”

A few other changes I like….

At the bottom of each post there is a section of “Related Posts“, This hopefully is a fun way for you to get to know me and see posts from the past you may want to read!!

In the Sidebar... I will be making some changes… one is my Twitter Feed is now in place… If you like twitter.. check it out…

Pinterest... If you love Pinterest.. As always you can click on the button at the bottom of each post to pin one of my pictures.. But now… You can hover over the picture and you will find a Pin It button there too!!!

I will be fussing with the site for a bit… so please still be patient!!

Now on to the CROCHET!! I have been working on a new pattern… I didn’t quit finish it this weekend as planned… Hopefully this week!! Here is another sneak peek…

And…THIS THURSDAY I have a very SPECIAL SURPRISE!!! So make sure to come back and be a part of a really great Crochet Collaboration!! Shhh… I might have a little something new with one of my most popular patterns…

Lastly!!! Next week will be the beginning of an 8 week Crochet Charity Extravaganza… I hope you will tune in and help me make this a special time… It includes my Amazing Grace Patterns,,, Charity,,, Prizes,,, and Paying it forward!!
