Coronation, Crochet Along and More!

Welcome back to the latest episode of the Elimee Designs crochet video blog! It's been an eventful month since our last episode. From the crowning of a new king to my eldest daughter celebrating another year of growing up (they truly grow up too fast, don't they?), there's been no shortage of excitement. On a personal note, I finally managed to squeeze in a much-needed haircut (yes, self-care is important!) and received the incredible opportunity to work on not just one, but two magazine commissions. Busy doesn't even begin to describe it!

Crochet Video Blog - Featuring a Tiny Guest Appearance!

Hey there crochet lovers! I'm excited to be sharing with you about the latest episode of my crochet video blog. I have to admit, it's been a bit of a challenge lately as one of my childcare providers has been on holiday, which has reduced my crochet time. But on the bright side, it's given me more time to have fun with my kids!

Despite the challenges, I've been busy working on some of my own designs and experimenting with new techniques in the hopes of submitting to some crochet magazines for the first time. I'm feeling a little nervous, but I'm also excited to see where this new adventure takes me.

The Mariquita Ladybird Blanket - Crochet Pattern

This pattern was inspired by my daughters, who have always been fascinated by ladybirds. They love watching them crawl around in the garden, and so I created this ladybird blanket just for them. The pattern features a series of solid granny squares that come together to create an adorable ladybird motif. And the best part is that it's beginner-friendly, with written instructions and graphical illustrations that make it easy to follow.

Video Blog - Episode 8

Thank you for coming to check out episode 8 of our video blog 😀. Between various family illnesses, a small baby (and that that entails) and working on some new patterns it has been a very busy month. I have been thoroughly enjoying lots of baby snuggles, and mentally planning new patterns whilst doing midnight feeds lol.

Unfortunately, I haven’t had quite as much crochet time as I would like - I have yet to master crocheting with a baby resting on my chest! However, this has encouraged me to concentrate on finishing WIPs and the crochet projects that are most important at this moment in time. Fortunately, I finished my So Eggstra blanket before the baby arrived which allowed the launch to go a little more smoothly - although technical issues with our camera corrupted the cover photo that I had originally selected 😢. Fingers crossed that this will be fixed soon.
