Can you believe it’ll be Christmas Eve tomorrow?! I hope you’re more organised than I am this year – I’ve been so busy sorting through all our stuff to find things we can donate or sell before the big move, I haven’t really had a chance to get into the Christmas spirit yet. We only […]
I’m so excited with the response to the PlanetJune Christmas CAL! The Christmas projects are popping up all over the place now, and it makes me happy to think I’ll have played a part in the decorations in so many homes 🙂 I’m including a preview of a couple of projects (randomly selected from the […]
Before I forget, I need to draw the winner of November’s ‘Review and Win’ contest in my shop. And the winner is… Heather H, with her review of my Red Fox pattern : This fox may very well be my favorite pattern from June. I brushed out the yarn for a furry look (as instructed […]

A couple of months ago, I had a Greyhound pattern commission request from a lady who works with The Greyhound Supporters Of The National Capital Region (GSNCR), a not-for-profit charity that works towards facilitating adoptions for retired racing greyhounds in the Ottawa, Ontario region. This was probably my most challenging AmiDogs design to date – […]
I’m guessing that not everybody knows that I run a monthly ‘Review and Win’ contest in my shop. Every review of one of my patterns or other items in the shop is automatically entered, and every month I draw a random winner who gets to pick a free pattern of their choice. It’s really easy […]
You may remember from the Reepicheep I crocheted that I’m a Narnia fan, and with The Voyage of The Dawn Treader movie coming out in just over a month (yay!), what better time to make my own Aslan? I really think that every lion needs a lioness, so the idea for a pattern including male […]
