It’s Almost Done… National Crochet Month & Sunburst Granny!

March 29, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

I decided to get busy on my Sunburst Granny Square Blanket .. I’m still not sure of the size I want though, … I now have 45 squares complete and will need somewhere between 48-63 squares to make a nice size blanket! I am tempted to stop at 48 so I can join them and put an edging on… I only need 48 to make a twin topper,,, 63 for a queen… Hmmmm! Well, I will have to decide tonight… I actually could have this beautiful blanket done this weekend if I do 48 squares!

I really have enjoyed making this blanket,,, and for once I am keeping it for myself…YAY! Hopefully one of my children don’t want to steal it,,, I always give in!

These are a few of my favorite combinations…

This reminds me of my childhood bedroom colors… My Grandmother Beatrice Ryan Ramshaw painted my room purple for me when I was 8 years old… Loved it! She made a crochet loopy rug in these colors for my floor… I wish I still had it… Maybe I should make a replica!

Don’t forget this is still National Crochet Month… Stretch yourself into learning how to crochet, reading patterns or new stitches!

Here is to finishing projects and National Crochet Month…

Easter Granny Square Baby Blanket

March 20, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

It’s almost Easter and I couldn’t resist making another sweet Granny Baby Blanket….

When I was looking through my stash, trying to decide what to make next… I kept picking up these beautiful Eastery skeins of yarn! Hmmm… What to make??? Well, if you have been following my recent posts about the Art Walk in our town you will remember that the store I sell my items is participating in the event… Alpine Originals carries handmade items that are created by local artist (me included). This month their store’s theme for the Art Walk is children’s items, and I have been making quite a few. I thought I was done with blankets,,, but no… this yarn kept calling me and my hook to get to work…

That’s not the only one though… I am almost done with the next baby blanket,,, Am I obsessed with baby blankets or what??? The next one is a Camo Granny Square Blanket,,, It is about 3/4 done and I should have it complete just in time for this Friday’s Art Walk… I will post a picture of it when it’s done…

So here is to Baby Blankets and Granny Squares….

Granny Baby…

February 23, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

Another weekend and time to start another project! My Sunburst Granny Square Blanket I started last a couple of weeks ago is coming along great! But, that one is for me and it was time to make something for Alpine Original’s, the little store where I sell my crochet…

So… I set aside the Sunburst Granny just for a few days and started this adorable Granny Square Baby Blanket. I have a large stash of great yarn and was able to pick a beautiful combination. This is the pattern my Grandmother Beatrice Ryan taught me at 10 years old… It has regained its popularity recently and I am blessed to have been taught this skill that will hopefully inspire many others to learn and love the Art of Crochet !
