There’s been much talk lately about how to share on Pinterest properly: giving credit to the source of your image, and making sure the pin actually links back to the source correctly before you re-pin it.

how to make a seamless join in amigurumi
Link easily to this tutorial in your patterns: www.planetjune.com/join After winning the 2011 Flamie Award for Best Crochet Video (Amateur), I feel a little pressure to make my next videos even better, to live up to that honour, especially as I only started the channel last year and have very few videos as yet. So, […]
felt poinsettia tutorial
I somehow stumbled into a personal holiday tradition of crafting a different poinsettia every year. With the exception of my first poinsettia (because I was a novice blogger back then and the idea hadn’t occurred to me, so I only have a quick guide that I wrote in the comments of that post) I have […]

how to crochet an i-cord
Link easily to this tutorial in your patterns: www.planetjune.com/icord Have you ever tried to crochet a really tiny tube or cylinder? I find that single crocheting in a ring with 5 stitches is challenging enough; let alone trying to make a 4-sc cylinder, or, almost impossibly, a 3-sc tube. Knitters are lucky; they have a […]
shoe refashion with beads
I’m filing this as a tutorial because you could use the same methods to add pretty bead embellishments to any pair of shoes! My sister’s getting married next week and I, being the maid of honour, need to have pretty shoes for the occasion. This is a huge problem for me; I’m not a girly […]
refashioning an unflattering top
I bought a cute summer top last week. It was very inexpensive, the colour was lovely, the fabric had a nice texture, and it looked like it would be a cool, pretty, summer top. And then I tried it on. Um… Please excuse the bathroom fixtures in these photos – it’s the only place I […]
