This extended 6-week CAL theme was Dino-Mania including my 9 original dinosaur patterns and the 9 new expansion pack patterns:

Those are my 18 dinos; now take a look at the Dino-Mania CAL roundup – it’s an explosion of colour! I hope you’ll love seeing all these dinosaurs together as much as I do…

I love how colourful and varied they all look! As you can see, crochet-alongs are a great way to see how patterns look in different colours, different yarns, and with different embellishments. I love how everyone’s creativity comes through – even when made with the same pattern, all the dinos have their own personality, don’t you think?

December CALs

There’s still time to join us in one or both of the crochet-alongs this month. Try a PlanetJune Accessories pattern (if you’re still looking to make Christmas presents, I’d avoid a large lacy project and try a quick scarf or my new ‘1 hr, 1 skein’ chunky cowl):

…or, whip up something seasonal in time for Christmas (and this CAL has prizes for all participants):

To take part, simply join us in the PlanetJune group on Ravelry! Click through and you’ll find the details for each CAL in its own thread 🙂
