A couple of months ago, I had a Greyhound pattern commission request from a lady who works with The Greyhound Supporters Of The National Capital Region (GSNCR), a not-for-profit charity that works towards facilitating adoptions for retired racing greyhounds in the Ottawa, Ontario region.

Review and Win contest
I’m guessing that not everybody knows that I run a monthly ‘Review and Win’ contest in my shop. Every review of one of my patterns or other items in the shop is automatically entered, and every month I draw a random winner who gets to pick a free pattern of their choice. It’s really easy […]
lion and lioness crochet pattern
You may remember from the Reepicheep I crocheted that I’m a Narnia fan, and with The Voyage of The Dawn Treader movie coming out in just over a month (yay!), what better time to make my own Aslan? I really think that every lion needs a lioness, so the idea for a pattern including male […]

book launch aftermath

my book: The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Amigurumi
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 […]
