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!
Amidst the whirlwind, I made sure to make time for my passion—crochet. While most of my focus was dedicated to my first commissioned project, I couldn't resist the temptation to embark on a small, coronation-inspired crochet endeavor. There's just something magical about creating pieces that capture the essence of special moments.
But that's not all! I also managed to finish a lingering WIP (work in progress), bringing a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. Additionally, I devoted time to crafting a new pattern that will soon enter the testing phase. Stay tuned for some exciting announcements!
In the midst of this creative frenzy, I started a new "pick up put down" crochet project—a delightful way to unwind and indulge in the therapeutic rhythm of stitches. And as if the crochet gods were smiling upon me, I even had the pleasure of winning an Instagram giveaway, adding a delightful surprise to my already eventful month.
So, my fellow crochet enthusiasts, prepare yourselves for an episode packed with inspiration, stories, and a whole lot of yarn-filled adventures. Grab your hooks, sit back, and join me on this crochet journey as we dive into the latest installment of the Elimee Designs crochet video blog. Let's unravel the magic together!
