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.

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.

I've made countless jumpers and cardigans for my kids, and the smalls of my friends and family, but never one for me. However, as someone who learns best by doing, I've decided to jump right in anyway and crochet my very first jumper for myself - a Christmas jumper.

Close your eyes for a moment and imagine with me. Picture yourself wearing your favourite Christmas jumper. Can you feel the soft wool against your skin? Can you see the vibrant colours and intricate patterns that make it so special?
