Crochet Video Blog - Episode 10

Welcome back to episode 10 of the Elimee Designs crochet video blog! I hope you all had a wonderful Easter break with your loved ones, just like we did. In this episode, I will tell you about some of the fun activities we did over the Easter holidays, including dying eggs and indulging in some chocolate for breakfast (with some unexpected consequences!).

But that's not all - I also have some exciting new crochet projects to share with you. While I did fall behind on finishing some gifts in time (oops!), I'm sure you'll still find inspiration in the projects we've completed so far (including some new upcoming patterns!). Whether you're looking to create something for yourself or to gift to others, you'll find plenty of inspiration in this episode.

I know that you've been eagerly waiting for this episode, and I apologise for the delay. Unfortunately, family illnesses have taken priority, but I'm happy to report that everyone is on the road to recovery.

Now, let's get to the good stuff. In this episode, I'm thrilled to show you my progress on my Mother's Day crochet gift, which I've been pouring my heart and soul into. It's been such a joy to work on, and I can't wait to share it with to you.

10 Crochet Patterns for Mother’s Day Gifts

Not long now until Mother’s Day - 19th March 2023. Are you planning to crochet something for your mother this year? I designed the Aphrodite Cushion Cover last year to give to my mother on Mother’s Day. As you might already know, she didn’t actually receive it… my daughters decided that they couldn’t do without it lol.

This year I am making amends! I gifted my daughter a pink version of the cushion for Christmas; when my mum saw it she asked for one in grey for Mother’s Day. It seems that she was destined to eventually get her own Aphrodite Cushion lol. She picked out her own colours and the yarn has now been ordered - check out my video blog over the next few episodes if you’d like to see how it goes :)
