WIP Confessions

Today, we're diving into the wonderful world of WIPs (Works in Progress). If you've ever wondered what's on my hook or how I manage multiple projects simultaneously, you're in for a treat. Join me on this creative journey as I give you an exclusive sneak peek into the projects that are currently sat in my WIP pile.

From cosy blankets to cute amigurumi, my WIPs represent a colourful tapestry of inspiration and creativity. But it's not just about the stitches; it's about the stories behind each project—the late-night crocheting sessions, the "aha" moments when a pattern comes together, and the sheer joy of seeing a project evolve.

So, grab your favorite yarn and a cup of tea, and let's embark on this WIP adventure together!

For all of this, and a sneak peek at the next pattern I will be releasing, check out our latest video blog episode below!

My Nemesis, Crochet Along Plans, and Baby Blankets Galore

Life is never quiet or dull when you are a crochet mum lol. This month my girls have been yo-yoing between loving and hating the hot UK weather (fortunately for me it has now cooled off). Ice lollies have been an essential tool in my mum arsenal when the ‘hot and bothered’ grumps have attacked. We even decided to have an ‘ice-cream for dinner’ day (with sprinkles and sweeties of course) as part of the husbeast’s birthday celebration - this MUST become an annual tradition!

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.

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.

Crochet Video Blog - Episode 9

It has been a while since my last video blog episode, but I'm back and ready to share all the juicy details about my latest crochet adventures. 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.

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.
