You’re very welcome! I’m so glad that it has helped ☺️. Which colours have you chosen for your Snowy Mittens?

@ I’m sticking with the blankets colors. So I’m using the Kelly Green and White.

I’m assuming if I want to do five motif repeats I need to do a fdsc row of 255? I’m using similar colors to the pattern. This will be my first project with this technique so I’m excited to learn through the year!

😄

Not quite - it is 48 stitches per repeat, then add on 3 to your total (243 I believe).

Thank you so much ☺️. Are you making the Months of the Year Blanket?

You’re welcome ☺️

Thank you very much 😁

Oh no! I’m so sorry 😬

Oh no! Fingers crossed your second try works out 🤞

Thank you 😁

Thank you so much ☺️. I’m glad that you like it. Are you crocheting a mosaic project at the moment?

You are very welcome! I do hope that you enjoy the CAL. Have you decided on your colours yet?

@@elimeedesigns I have not, going to Michael's and Joann's today and looking into colors, but I'm thinking blue colours, but will see the vibes I get when i'm shopping. 😄

@@elimeedesigns I'm thinking more like the Blue colours and Grey colours. Going yarn shopping today after work and finding out what colours I want to choose. thanks for asking. :) happy holidays to you and Merry Christmas to you too.

Blue/grey sounds lovely. Wishing you happy holidays too 🎄

Thank you. I aim to make my designs as inclusive as possible to crocheters of all experience levels - video tutorials are one of the ways I try to do this ☺️. Are there any more tutorials for mosaic crochet that you would find helpful?

You’re very welcome ☺️. Will you be taking part?

Moving on to a better tutorial.

Thank you for your feedback.

Aww thank you! ☺️ Will you be taking part?

@ oh yes my dear husband is buying me your book for Christmas. 🎅🏻

You are welcome

Oh, that is so sweet of him! I can’t wait to see how yours looks 😁

@ I’m not a fast crocheter

You are very welcome ☺️. I’m so glad that it has helped. What are you making?

Each to their own lol. I’m the weirdo who doesn’t mind weaving in ends 🤷‍♀️😂. Do you have to do much untangling?

Some times, my friends get my help to untangle. I don't mind to weaving in ends ​either. 😊 Susan @@elimeedesigns

You are a very kind friend!

❤​@@elimeedesigns

☺️

Thank you for the tips! I need all the help that I can get 😬😂. How long have you been knitting for?

@ I’ve been knitting for over thirty years at this point, my mother taught me when I was so young I can’t remember 😆

Wow! I wish that I’d learnt to craft so young.

Thank you ☺️. I wasn’t 100% sure.

🤞Are you making something fun?

​@@elimeedesignsI've just recently got a knitting machine so have been making lots of hats and am about to start on a vest soon! centre pulls are super helpful for knitting machines I've found (if they're done correctly!)

Ooo good luck 🍀. That sounds like fun!

Thank you for the extra advice. I’ll have to try again with the cotton. The Hayfield keeps barfing even now that I have the centre pull 😩.

I use this method ☺️ ruclips.net/video/NzZHGaTN_-U/видео.html

@ So good Thank you.

You’re welcome

I’m so glad that you found it helpful ☺️

Glad I’m not alone on this journey ☺️. How is yours going so far?

I love that idea ☺️. Thank you. Have you made many yourself?

Did you find a pattern you like?

I like them all but the hop scotch granny purse is adorable!❤❤​@elimeedesigns

🥳

I’m just waiting for the host designer’s blog page to go live before I share the link ☺️. I will pin a comment to this video and add it to the description as soon as it does. If you join my email newsletter I’ll be sending the details out there too?

@@elimeedesigns i think i did that earlier today. ❤️ thanks for the info ❤️

No worries

Exactly ☺️. Have you started yours?

@@elimeedesigns Yes. It’s a granny square with Christmas colors. Some squares will be the regular style and others will have Christmas themes in the center. I haven’t done very many, though, and there’s no special date for the finish. I just work on a square every once in a while.

I’m working on crocheting a blanket for each member of my family. I have a large family, so it’s slow going. I finish blankets for each of my children and their families. I’m almost done with the third one and her kids. Considering that I have eight children and twelve grandchildren, I think I’m doing fine. However, the recipients probably think I’m too slow. It’s fun, though. When I need a break I make a stuffed animal and matching blanket. I also take a turn working on the Christmas blanket.

Sounds lovely!

Wow! What a lovely tradition 😁. You have to enjoy the process, so I agree, plenty of breaks when needed are a must. 🍀

Thank you ☺️. I had to google what a hussif is, and they look amazing! A lot of my remaining WIPs are more time consuming too - I have a love of blankets. I haven’t stopped to count how many sewing/cross stitch WIPs I have 😂. I agree that we must try not to be too harsh on ourselves, but I do feel better now that my WIP count is slowly shrinking. Do you have a particular WIP that your are focusing on at present?

Well, I am aiming to get the cardigan done next. After all winter is coming, right? I am at home for another week with the flu, so I might just get that done. Well, there are absolutely stunning examples of hussifs online. Mine is nowhere near as fancy though. I am fairly new to embroidery and so I focus more on "creativity" than accuracy. Which shows. 😂 Which kind of yarn do you prefer for blankets and such? I tend to use ones with at least 50 percent woolish fibre or pure cotton. I know acrylic has its benefits though.

At the moment I lean towards acrylic a lot - my kids use the blankets and they need washing often 😬. Good luck with your cardigan 🍀.

Thank you, and well done for setting yourself a goal - I find that it helps ☺️.

I’m so glad that you enjoyed it ☺️. You got this! I definitely recommend trying the snowball method if you lose motivation at any point. Good luck with your sweater 🍀. Do any of your projects have deadlines to spur you on? Eg are any birthday/holiday gifts?

@elimeedesigns yes thankfully this one is a test knit due in 3 weeks! Then I have 7 baby blankets I want done in the next month, they are going well and will probably be done by then. But then I'll have to start a few new ones for Christmas gifts, I want to make crochet gnomes as teacher gifts 🤣😅 but that will help with stash busting!

Wow, loads of blankets too (my favourite kind of project 😁). I hope that finishing each of your projects brings you joy.

😂 thank you! I’m so glad that my awful amigurumi-assembly doesn’t put you off. I’ve made 3 similar themed patterns by Hookanory. Her mini-monster Halloween CAL (in progress atm) has a similar shape too. Do you make many amigurumi?

That is so kind of you! We need more crocheters like you ☺️. If you are in the UK there are some charities that supply the yarn for you to crochet donations.

Thank you ☺️, and I very much appreciate the feedback! I hope to improve with every video, and your feedback tells me how I can do this. Are you stashbusting too?

@@elimeedesigns Yes, I try to! To have a ginormous stash makes me stressed almost as if i had the same amount of wips. I have knitted ten sweaters from stash this year, and reduced it a lot, but still more to go.

Wow! That is a lot of sweaters. You must enjoy making them ☺️. Do you have a favourite pattern? I hope try try making my first sweater this winter.

@@elimeedesigns I loved the Stick season sweater by Rebecca Clow 😍 Would highly recommend it!

Thanks ☺️. I definitely love the cream version she has on Ravelry… and the Rhue sweater. I’m gonna have to watch out for rabbit holes 😂

I think that the more important question is whether your stash brings you joy (or causes any other issues for you)? There is nothing wrong with a large stash if you have the space, money, and love it ☺️

😂 yeah, it’s going to be a long journey! Are you stashbusting too?

@@elimeedesigns At the moment I'm losing at "not growing the stash..." I'll probably be in busting mode in a couple more months, when all of me that's visible is my frantically waving hand... Have a great day. 🐞

Good luck 🍀

Oh, thank you so much! What a lovely compliment ☺️. What project are you using it for?

A common phenomenon. Would you like to shrink it?

Amazing! Blankets are definitely big yarn eaters ☺️. Do you have a favourite pattern?

@@elimeedesigns Chevron stitch or Chevron pattern is definitely my favorite, both in crochet and knitting!

It is definitely a classic!

Thank you for the lovely suggestion ☺️. Have you made many pairs?

@@elimeedesigns Oh Yes i did . two pairs standing right in front of me. But counting up from 2 years back i must be 20 pairs in …

Definitely a winner then!

Welcome ☺️. Scrap blankets are definitely in my wheelhouse lol. I’m hoping to start making some Christmas gifts too. Have you started preparing yet?

Thank you so much ☺️. I love making blankets.

Thank you for the suggestions ☺️. Are you a big blanket fan?

@@elimeedesigns I am , I love a pretty blanket ,and any I can also use scraps for is a winner .

Me too!

Thank you for the suggestion. I’ll have to check out your video ☺️. Which charity do you donate to?

Thank you for your suggestion. I am a BIG blanket fan, and have a C2C scrapgan in progress at the moment 😁. Which stitch do you use for yours?

That sounds like a very worthy cause 😁

Oh that sounds lovely! I’d love to see them when you’re done ☺️
