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 […]

fall seasonal patterns & crochetalong
Don’t miss the Fall Crochet-Along info and discount code at the end of this post! Did you know that, as of right now, I have 75 crochet patterns in my shop?! That’s a lot to look through! I thought some of you may be new to the wonderful world of PlanetJune (ha!) or might appreciate […]
designing a kingfisher
Oooh, look what just arrived yesterday: the new issue of Inside Crochet. And, hello, what’s that on p92? Yay, it’s my new Kingfisher design!
