Comments on: show report! http://www.planetjune.com/blog/show-report/ See what I've been making lately... Crochet, amigurumi animal designs, polymer clay, cross stitch, beading, sewing, sketching, painting and more!

I am heading next to download the sea turtle pattern! The oranutang's arm is awesome. I am curious about the "yarn" you have pictured. IS it yarn? It looks like balls of fluff :) Just a little side note. I have a few kids in my class who are starting to crochet! I am showing most of them, but surprisingly, a couple of them are working on their own, having been shown by maids or mothers. One of my boys, Rayyan, had brought in yarn last Wednesday and bought one of the hooks that I ordered online. Anyway, after school, I started showing him the basics. He got the slip knot after only one or two tries! He caught on super quick on how to hold the yarn and hook, and was making chains before he got picked up. All of this in LESS than 30 minutes! Today, he came in with a pretty multicolored ball of yarn and a chain about 3 feet long! He started a new chain at recess, and you wouldn't believe how EVEN they were! I then showed him SC, and after the first time putting the hook in the chain already worked, he caught on. You couldn't tell HIS SC's from MINE! It is SO amazing. I have tried to teach a few adults, and some older girl students, but not one of them had/has the aptitude for the craft that Rayyan does! I just hope he sticks with it. Boys, as a rule over here, do not do "girl" things! I believe that if he DOES stick with it, he could be whipping up YOUR patterns by September! I think his motivation is that he wants to make a frog like the ones I did! :) OK, sorry, a bit off the track! I am so glad you enjoyed the show. And you are right that it is a good thing to actually go out and meet people. Keep on "hookin"! LOL! Hi, June

I love the ice cream bear and the orang utan's hand is amazing, don't forget the King Charles Cavalier spaniel though. Rosie in very wet Sheffield Sounds like you had a great time!

I've heard from some people that craft fair booths are sometimes enough that it's hard to even make back the cost of the booth with your sales.... So, what did it cost you to do a show like that?
