While taking a photo of my original crocheted alpaca Alpaca together with my new felted alpaca Alpaca, it occurred to me that I’ve also made several other ‘pairs’ of crochet/non-crochet sculptures over the years! Here’s my gallery of pairs – can you see the similarities between each pair? (The names are links to my patterns, […]
The first cycle of the new and improved PlanetJune Commissions system is complete, with the completion of my Capybara pattern. (That takes my total to 18 commissioned designs in 5 years!) The system is much more efficient now: you can manage all your pledges from within your PlanetJune account, and each new commissioned pattern is […]
