[@JennsCraftyWorld]

Oh Emma, I don't know why I let so much time pass between watching your lovely podcasts. I always come away with new inspirations for projects to try and books to read. So far I have queued up the video for the book mark; decided to turn my abandones fingering yarn into a blanket; ordered the Embroidered Crochet book, and have been over to Wool Warehouse and ordered a project bag and notebook for a dear friend. I am currently working on a summer top, with the hope I will get to enjoy it a few times during our short Canadian summers. Congratulations on fifty episodes, I hope there will be many, many more!

[@Lululovescrochet]

Thank you so much! So many beautiful projects to make so little time… I hope you enjoy the crochet book it’s beautiful xx

[@amydbwinters]

OMG! I found you randomly here on KZbin. After reading the description box, I realized you are the author of the book from which I've been working. I've made three of the items and am planning at least two more. Love your book!

[@tipstricks7594]

I have just come upon your blog the other day. It is very enjoyable, I love your style and color choices. You have some great projects. I am working on quite a few right now. The past year I have been making shawls, so I have 1 going right now along with a granny square blanket, another baby blanket, wait, I actually have 3 blankets going, one I’ve been working on for awhile. I would really like to try your bunting pattern from a couple years ago though and that corner bookmark . It is nice to have a couple fast ones. Congratulations on your 50th episode, I would definitely like to be entered in your drawing. I really like the pattern on the bag and notebooks. I’ve never had a proper pattern notebook before. I think it would be so much better than just trying to add little pictures to my notes. Well, enjoy the weather and your flowers!

[@Lululovescrochet]

Thank you so much! What lovely projects to have on the go, I really must make another shawl soon, I find them so enjoyable to make. Happy weekend. Em xx

[@traceyroutledge5624]

Many congratulations on your '50th' episode! I have really enjoyed every one of them. I know it takes a LOT OF TIME to make them, so well done you. At the moment I am on the home stretch of crocheting the Harbour Blanket by Attic 24 (thoroughly enjoying that), also a cross stitch picture for my in laws DIAMOND wedding anniversary and lastly just started my June cross stitch tree hoop decoration. So a bit busy at the moment! I do not know how some crafters have multiple projects on the go! I think I would get all 'A FUFFLE' ! XX

[@Lululovescrochet]

Thank you so much! I must admit I often find myself in ‘a fuffle’ with my projects I wish I could just finish one thing at a time! 🤣💕✨ sending love xx

[@annfalkner2792]

Congratulations Emma on your 50th podcast! I really enjoy watching them. You have a lovely style, calming and interesting. This week I actually finished my Persian tile blanket. It is the second one I’ve made, I love the pattern. I really enjoyed working on the blanket. Currently I’m working on the Magic Circle blanket. I’ve finished the circles and am working on the joining. In the meantime I am also experimenting with crocheting some squares. And I just love the crochet bookmark that you made, I am definitely going to have a go at that, it’s a great idea for Christmas presents. Keep up the good work, next stop 100!

[@Lululovescrochet]

Thank you so much xx

[@palomaa2002]

Loved this episode! I have so many WIPs going right now but have been trying to focus most on a prayer shawl for my mother in law who took sick about 1 1/2 month ago. Looking forward to the next episode ☺️🌻

[@sarah-janeireland157]

Oh what a lovely episode, again! Absolutely adore the crocheted bookmark, such a wonderful idea and they look so pretty too. Your granny squares are so beautiful, such calming shades of blue. I always become totally enamoured with granny squares in summery colours, as soon as the weather becomes warm and sunny again. I just love those instant bursts of happy colour and enjoy experimenting with different, random colour combinations to find unexpected, beautiful results. I have finally got around to squaring off, with cream yarn, all those many, many crocheted three coloured circles I made during lockdown, to make a rather joyful blanket. I have also edged all of the three colour hexagons I crocheted during lockdown, with cream yarn, which will hopefully be joined together this week to make yet another fabulously glorious blanket of many colours. Those little circles and hexagons were a much needed source of colour therapy, at such a strange, dark time. Crochet can bring such joy and solace, even its most simplest form. Take care 🧶🧵🌷🌼

[@Lululovescrochet]

Thank you Sarah-Jane you are so right about crochet bring joy and solace! Your blanket sounds like it’s going to be absolutely stunning! Xx

[@pinkdogwoodgirl]

Hello Emma. It's so good to see you back. I enjoy your videos. I'm currently working on a crochet cardigan, a crochet coverlet and a knitted baby blanket. I'm a new knitter and sewer. I'm working on my second quilt but only thanks to a lovely group of quilting friends. I look forward to your next 50 videos.☺☺

[@teacup6175]

Thank you Emma for another enjoyable podcast and congratulations on episode 50. I really appreciate the time it takes to prepare and produce, so thank you. I am currently working on a cream, navy and grey granny square blanket and realized some of my tension is off. I have had to undo some of the squares. I think your explanation in this episode on where the yarn sits on the hook may be the cause. I hold it like you. Anyway it will be ready for autumn. Also trying a top down knitted jumper! Enjoy the lovely weather and the garden. 😊

[@Lululovescrochet]

Thank you so much! I often forget what hook size I’m using with blankets which has led to some strange size changes - that and I think my tension gets looser the longer i crochet 🤷‍♀️ nothing a bit of blocking can’t fix though! I’m sure your blanket will look beautiful xx

[@teacup6175]

@@Lululovescrochet 😊

[@cindylikin1874]

Watching for the first time! Enjoyed the podcast so much! I plan on making the bookmarks for gifts for my daughters. They are just lovely. The zipper bag set is just beautiful. I’m looking forward to your next podcast. Take care💚. I’m currently working on a cuddle blanket for my grandson.

[@SigalAlon]

Hi Emma. I love the lacy bookmarks. Usually white yarns, even in the same yarn, are slightly thicker than the color versions of that yarn, because of the dyeing process. The shirt you're wearing is beautiful. Takes me back several years to the past and brings back memories. I usually lean more towards creams rather than bright white. I am currently working on several projects, participating in a few CALs. Wonderful items you're giving away and I would love to have a chance at winning. Thank you and congratulations on your 50th episode.

[@Lululovescrochet]

Oh thank you, I didn’t know that the yarn dying affected the yarn in that way… that is interesting! Xx

[@ayseataaySquitieri0634]

Very nice podcast, great crafts and beautiful books, we are happy again, Thank you! 🩵❤️

[@Lululovescrochet]

Thank you 💕xx

[@Woldenburn]

I love those bookmarks you've made! They're so beautiful and you are absolutely correct, they would make splendid gifts. Your forget-me-not squares are beautiful too. Blue and white/cream is one of my favorite color combinations. I've been knitting a bunch of socks and working on knitting up a sweater top. But I've been itching to try my hand at a crochet garment! Congratulations on reaching 50 episodes! 🎉🥳I agree with you, the print on the bag and notebooks is so pretty! I would like to be entered in the giveaway. Thank you!!

[@Jeffersonmorant.]

That’s so thoughtful of you, Thanks for your positive review,How are you and how’s the weather over there?

[@cyann410]

Congrats on your 50th! I just found you today and find you charming. I am currently working on a shawl in a shell stitch, in bamboo yarn (such limp, finicky yarn to work with, but drapes beautifully). It is a rose-beige color. Hope to be finished in a few days, then onto a blanket I am close to finishing up. I’m in the US, and just got my veggie garden in, so gardening will be cutting into my crocheting time, but I live for my fresh garden tomato sandwiches!

[@Lululovescrochet]

Thank you! Yes I’ve often found that with bamboo yarn but it always looks so beautiful! Nothing better than homegrown fruit and veg it just always tastes sweeter! Enjoy 💕

[@amberspiers21]

Thank you for a lovely time! Your love of vintage items is wearing off on me. Every time I watch one of your episodes, I get the urge to start a vintage project. Learning how to embroider is on my list! I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes for you and if you enjoy it. I'd love to watch you embroider or even crochet...just stitch and chat for a bit. Also, those giveaway pieces are so beautiful! I love the Persian tiles design and colors and I'm needing a project bag for the poncho I'm working on. Thank you so much again for such a lovely time. 😊

[@Jeffersonmorant.]

That’s so thoughtful of you Amber, Thanks for your positive review,How are you and how’s the weather over there?

[@ariannakalashnikov2779]

Patiently ❤ Watching all your episodes as my comfort KZbin channel until your next episode

[@katiebowers8539]

Congrats on your 50th episode! I’m working on a C2C blanket in lovely blue/green variegated yarn - it’s not a twisted yarn so I’m hoping it holds up to use! Also a pillow using two different variegated yarns - you crochet a large square and fold the corners in. I love Janie Crow designs - still working on one of her kits!

[@atrinka1]

Congratulations on your 50th episode! You look so summery! Here in the USA where I live is so cold at the moment. I'm crocheting a sleeveless top with cotton-nylon yarn and knitting some socks. Your bookmarks are so lovely, I need a few of those. Hugs from the USA!

[@Lululovescrochet]

Thank you! We have finally seen the sun here so the summer tops are out!! it’s felt like a very long winter. Hugs from the U.K. xx

[@sarahpotempa11174]

Congratulations 🎉 on 50 ep!! I am working on several projects which include Christmas presents for family (Harry Potter house scarves), a pair of socks, a shawl, and a scrappy granny square blanket. ❤

[@kayleighashmore5717]

Congrats on 50 episodes! Im fairly new here but have watched some of your older episodes, i love how you include lots of hobbies in your podcasts, particulary any recipes 😋. Ive actually just finished making some 3D sunflowers for my gran for her birthday this week, and now im just about to start making a baby blanket some a work collegue whose just announced shes expecting, i love an easy project i can do whilst watching podcasts. 😊

[@Lululovescrochet]

Thank you! I can imagine those crochet sunflowers look amazing! Xx

[@A.McD.81]

Congratulations on 50 episodes. I love Janie Crowe’s beautiful creations. I am watching you while I’m taking a break from making a queen size granny square blanket… the joins take so much longer than the squares 😀 Thank you for your KZbin content

[@TheInvisibleJoin]

It is always so nice to see you. Your work always inspires me to delve more into vintage pieces. I was excited to see the bookmark. Oddly I am making bookmarks now for a shop (among other items) and I am going to jump right over there and make some up. They are so beautiful, unlike any bookmark I have seen. Also working on some medallion pieces for a summer top. I love the femininity of your work, your yarn choices, softness...just beautiful. Looking forward to your next episode. Congrats on 50!!!

[@Lululovescrochet]

Thank you so much xx

[@knitterbigd8203]

Another lovely podcast episode! I am working on all kinds of WIPs from last year, trying to ‘catch up’ before starting some new things.

[@Bizeknitting]

Congratulations on 50 episodes. I feel like I am working on everything. I’m a school nurse- it’s summer break so I am working on dishcloths, lots of socks, several blankets. All the things. I’m having fun and that’s all that matters.

[@joannewiggins2152]

Congratulations on 50 episodes!! I’ve so enjoyed following along. At the moment, I’m knitting a shawl for my Mother-in-law & a sweater for myself 😊 I’m looking for a few easy summer projects, and am inspired by your hot water bottle cover.

[@user-hl7ro1mx5l]

Congratulations on your 50th episode! I love your podcasts and I’m currently working on one of the patterns from your Romantic Crochet book - the lacy short sleeved t-shirt. The new Janie Crow collection is beautiful 🙂

[@routinelycrafty]

Congratulations on 50 episodes! I’m currently working on a honeycomb baby blanket for my cousin. It’s turning out rather lovely ☺️

[@ginaaxell5802]

I was so happy to see another podcast from you! I love your style. I’m currently crocheting some bunting for my ( first 😊) grandchild’s bedroom. He’s only 11 weeks old but it’s never too soon to start !

[@Lululovescrochet]

Oh so sweet and a big congratulations on your new grandson 💕

[@sandracurran2058]

Love your podcast 50 episodes wow! I’m working on my fruit garden blanket by Jane Crow.. while watching this podcast. Can’t wait to see your embroidery crochet projects…. 😮

[@maureenflitcroft8430]

Congratulations on reaching 50 episodes Emma. I always enjoy watching your podcasts and seeing your lovely projects. I’m currently crocheting baby blankets for another granddaughter sue in September. I’m using chenille yarn for the first time which is giving a lovely effect. Xx

[@karencollins7732]

Hi Emma, Thank you so much for sharing everything with us!! I love everything you make. 💖 Congratulations on reaching 50 episodes 🎊🎈🥰 The little bag with the matching notebooks are so cute!!! I love it when they match. I hope your fingers are feeling better soon 🙏🏼 Please take care and stay safe and healthy 💕💗💖🎶🦋

[@verakristinarobinson7013]

I'm just finishing a shawl, before it gets too warm. I've been trying to use up my thicker yarn. Congratulations on 50 episodes.

[@lottesroom]

Congratulations on your 50Th episode, Emma! And what a lovely give away! I will sure like to join. Currently I'm working on a scrap blanket for my cousins daughter, who will be 10 in April, so I'm in due time. I'm also working on a summer t-shirt for my mother in law. Both crochet.

[@claraswearingen8390]

Congratulations on 50 episodes Emma!! I truly enjoy watching your videos they are so calming to me. I’m currently working on way to many WIPs lol. 😊

[@jaynepointon8547]

Your water bottle cover even with your little mistakes looks so soft with the 2 yarns. I have many of the old hooks which were my husbands great grans and I swear there is no real comparison for size to the modern ones, I just hope for the best. Nice of you to do a give away and congratulations on your 50th podcast. I’m busy crocheting flowers from the new Toft book.

[@Lululovescrochet]

Haha I think you may be right there! I must look out for the Toft book xx

[@stitchesandjacks7692]

Lovely to spend time with you this morning. Currently working on a tiny tiny crochet blanket for my granddaughters' dolls pram xx

Congratulations on your 50 episodes, I love watching your channel. I am just finishing a knitted jumper, only one more sleeve and the neckband to go.

Congratulations on 50 episodes, I didn't miss a single one! I'm currently working on newly weds amigurumi, I hope to finish them in hour or so and then I'm going to make a few mushroom keychains for the fair I'm attending this weekend.

[@Lululovescrochet]

Thank you! Hope all goes well at the fair xx

[@zsofiagreczy9295]

Congrats on your 50th podcast! 🎉 I’ve been a subscriber since not too long ago, but I’ve been enjoying your podcasts so much, they are relaxing indeed! 😊 I am working on the Traveling afghan 2020 and the name matches what I currently do, since I am on holiday in Madrid. :D 😍 Can’t wait for your next episode!

[@mandyball5806]

Congratulations on 50 episodes Emma, love watching & seeing your projects 💜

[@caitlinalb]

The notebook and pouch actually made click the button- they look awesome. I have a few WIPs - one is flower/daisy granny square/hexagon blanket, trying to work out how to do the center as in is in my head - it’s not translating very well! I do wonder if I’m trying to reinvent the wheel… The rest is a neutral collection of the large starburst squares. I think they’ll make a tote or something :)

[@Lululovescrochet]

Haha that’s always half the battle/fun isn’t it - trying to create what you see in your minds eye! Xx

[@wildflower-spirit-creations]

So enjoyable. Glad I found you!

[@thewoolverine4420]

I've been looking forward to your new episode dear. It's good to see you. I'm sorry that your hands have been giving you trouble, I used to have the same issue with holding yarn that way but I've since adapted and haven't had as much of an issue with it. I absolutely love the bookmarks you made! I will have to get some cute cotton thread and make a few myself. I'm currently working on a doll for no particular reason, although there's a 90% chance my daughter will end up with it haha. I'd like to enter the giveaway please, and thank you.

[@Lululovescrochet]

Thank you lovely, I think will have to explore new ways to hold my yarn to make it a bit easier on my poor hands! It’s been frustrating not being able to crochet much!! I’m sure the doll will be much loved whoever it ends up with. Em xx

[@yl6616]

Hi Emma! Lovely video! 🌸 For the basket, what works best with the t-shirt yarn and especially when you want to do embroidery, work sc v-stich-so you work the sc in the V. There is no gaps with that stich and the sides of the basket are stronger :) 🌸

[@Lululovescrochet]

Oooh thanks for the tip I’ll try that xx

[@lynnkinloch8617]

Congratulations on 50 episodes, well done you. Always enjoy your videos, a moment of calm, love your peaceful colours too. Hope your fingers get better soon. I’m working on my first Tunisian project - Seashore by TimberNThreads (a Wrap).

[@talesfromcuckooland]

Gorgeous as usual. I love your attitude to the green beret “Maybe I’ll do it may be I wont, I’ll see how I feel” it’s so refreshing to me that you can be relaxed about it. I think I make too many rules for myself xxx

[@Jeffersonmorant.]

That’s so thoughtful of you, Thanks for your positive review,How are you and how’s the weather over there?

[@Lululovescrochet]

Aww thanks Gayna … I used to be the same, only x amount of wips, must finish x before I start x etc… so it’s definitely been a process but now I just think my crochet/reading time is too precious to spend on anything I won’t enjoy in that moment xxx

[@ziaisaksdottir380]

If using DPNs hurt, then it could be arthritis. I couldn’t use dpns anymore now. I simply use magic loop or better still is two fixed circulars. Do listen to your body. When it aches and pains, we need to take a break 😉 and continue another day. That’s what I do usually.

[@Lululovescrochet]

Thank you! Yes I think the dpns did aggravate it - I will explore the magic loop method it may be easier for me. Thanks again for the tips, Emma x

[@BlackcatNZ]

Hi Emma, What a lovely surprise to see you again on this cold frosty morning (I'm way down under in New Zealand) currently crocheting the Lakeside cardigan. Sorry to hear you have had issues with your fingers, its a real curse especially when you have so many wips you want to get on with .

[@Lululovescrochet]

Thank you! I forget that it’s winter down under… I must say it’s a relief to finally feel the sun here, it’s been a very wet and grey spring so far! A cardigan sounds like the perfect project for a frosty morning. Have a lovely weekend, Em xx

A new viewer here. Those vintage hooks were made in Redditch, Worcestershire, UK. When I was young my mum had a job at Aero, as a homeworker, packing needles into the red packaging. Redditch is famous for making needles

What a wonderful milestone to celebrate! Since I have started watching your episodes, you have never failed to inspire not only my crafting at large but also my reading and cooking! I promised myself to have a go at the crocheted bookmark which would be the ideal companion to an old copy of a Wilkie Collins’s book which I picked up for a dear friend’s birthday! You have created your own atmosphere and style and I always look forward to your next invitation popping up on my KZbin subscription list! 🥂🎂

I'd love to enter the giveaway! Congratulations on 50 episodes, although it feels as if I've been watching your podcasts so much longer. I'm not currently working on anything because I've just moved into a new place, but I've a crochet blanket on the go for quite a while. I've recently finished a pair of toadstool socks from Stoneknits and then I want to do the blooming lavender socks from Stoneknits also. I love the bookmark and want to make that for my daughter. Have a lovely summer.❤️

Congratulations on 50 podcasts! This one made for a nice chill start to my Saturday - I think I'll be spending the rest of it making myself one of those gorgeous bookmarks! I'm a newbie knitter as well this year and am currently working on the Soizic Headband by Along Avec Anna using Sirdar Snuggly DK (free pattern on ravelry and not too tricky so far!) :)

[@Lululovescrochet]

Thank you, I will look that pattern up! Xx

Congratulations on your 50th podcast! Your crochet bookmarks and WIPs are beautiful! I have too many WIPs to count but today I’m working on another lacy crochet top based on Olga Poltava’s tutorials and patterns. The Janie Crow zipper pouch and notebook are beautiful and I would love the chance to win one! ❤
