Free-For-All CAL roundup

This extended 6-week CAL was a Free-For-All, so participants had free choice to make any PlanetJune patterns they wanted (amigurumi, accessories, free patterns, patterns from my book). It’s interesting that with 120 patterns to choose from, you can see some definite trends in what people chose to crochet, but also loads of variety. Now it’s […]

(For speed, I just give credit with participants’ Ravelry usernames.) Veggie & camaharet Lightblue & […]
