Elimee Designs Winter Crochet Along (CAL)

We're excited to have you join us on this cosy and festive crochet journey. Regardless of you level of crochet experience, this CAL promises to be a wonderful experience filled with warmth and community.

The Festive Hygge Cushion design draws is inspired by our Festive Hygge Blanket design. It was inspired by my love of the holiday season. Think snuggling building snowmen with the kids, putting up the Christmas tree, sipping hot chocolate whilst cuddled up under a blanket, and decorating your home with a touch of homemade magic. It's a pattern that captures the essence of 'hygge'—that wonderful feeling of cosiness and contentment.

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!

And if you're a hater, stick around, because I aim to prove that C2C is absolutely fantastic! 😁

Simply Love Mosaic Cushion Cover - Crochet Pattern

Picture this: a cosy corner of your home adorned with a beautiful crocheted cushion. Intrigued? Keep reading 😄.

Imagine my delight when the lovely folks at Crochet Foundry extended an invitation to design a crochet pattern using their Furls products. Inspired to create something cosy-feeling yet beginner-friendly, with a dash of mosaic crochet thrown in, I settled on a cushion cover design. Why? Because every home deserves a touch of handmade warmth, and every beginner deserves a delightful adventure. With a motif that could look at home on any chair or sofa, I chose a symphony of three colors on one side, and two on the other. It's a housewarming gift waiting to be cherished.

Citrouille Pumpkin Baby Blanket - Crochet Pattern

As crocheters, we often find inspiration in the most unexpected moments, and the story behind our Citrouille Pumpkin Baby Blanket crochet pattern is no exception.

Much like the Waggle Dance Bee Blanket, I was drawn to weaving together two distinct crochet techniques – filet and colourwork.
