☕🧶 SLOW SUNDAYS, COSY CROCHET & CHRISTMAS COLOURS! 🎄💜

Happy Sunday, everyone! 🥰

Today is all about slowing down, enjoying a cuppa and getting a few more stitches done on my latest crochet project… the gorgeous Janie Crow Persian Tiles Blanket in Christmas colours! 😍🎄

I’m absolutely loving how the festive colours are coming together. There’s something so relaxing about sitting with your crochet hook, a lovely ball of yarn and no rush to be anywhere! 🧶❤️💚

With Christmas creeping closer, it’s the perfect time to get stuck into those cosy crochet blankets and handmade Christmas projects.

💜 Sunday question: What’s on your knitting needles or crochet hook today? Are you making something for Christmas or treating yourself to a project?

I’d love to see what you’re working on! 👇🥰

🧶 Sending cosy Sunday vibes from Elsie’s Emporium, your family-run knitting and crochet yarn shop in Colwick, Nottingham!

There’s nothing quite like a pair of handmade socks as the colder days arrive… and they make brilliant Christmas gifts too! 🎄🎁
