I can hardly believe I’m finally getting to write these words: my crochet book, The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Amigurumi, is out today!* It’s been a very long process that’s taken me to this point, and part of me still doesn’t believe it’s real, although I do have this proof: Yay! Look what I made […]

announcing: PlanetJune Accessories!
I’m so excited (and a little bit nervous) to finally reveal my big secret project that I’ve been working on for the past few months. Although I love my amigurumi patterns, I have more to give in the crochet field, so I’ve come up with a new design line: PlanetJune Accessories. Don’t forget to read […]
in limbo
The blog is a little quiet because I’m playing a waiting game at the moment, so I don’t have a lot I can blog about yet: Waiting for my new book to be released (less than 6 weeks to go!) Waiting to see an advance copy – they should be printed by now and I […]

Canada Post has the delightful rule that any packages over 2cm thick cost around 4x as much […]
dino cards
I’m just back from my sister’s wedding (which was spectacular); my refashioned shoes held up well and I managed not to trip on my way up the aisle, so we’ll call that a success! It was lovely to see my family, but I really missed being online (other than daily email checks for anything urgent) […]
4th blogiversary + contest
Don’t forget to enter the contests at the end of this post! Year 4 Review The PlanetJune craft blog will be 4 years old tomorrow. It’s hard to believe it; every year has flashed past so quickly! So what exactly have I been doing with myself for the past year? I’ve: Designed and published 17 new […]
writing my first craft book
Last week, I got a big box in the mail. It contained all the sample projects I made for my book, Paper Chains & Garlands, and shipped off to New York over a year ago to be photographed. It’s so strange to see them again after all this time! It brought me right back to […]
