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 […]
how to crochet the loop stitch
Link easily to this tutorial in your patterns: www.planetjune.com/loopstitch I’m so glad people liked my crocheted i-cord video tutorial!

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!

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 […]
disastrous prototypes!
I thought I’d share a little more insight into my design process today – just so you know that things don’t always turn out perfectly the first time, even when you’ve been designing for years, and why I think that’s not a bad thing. I challenge myself to come up with new techniques to keep […]
