May Flowers CAL roundup

The May Flowers CAL included all my botanical patterns: flowers, plants and fruit. As you’ll see below, the clear winner for ‘most popular pattern’ this month was my African Violets – the first potted plant I ever designed!

Now, roundup time! (And don’t forget to keep reading to the end for the June CAL details…)

This photo gallery is randomly ordered. For speed, I just give credit with participants’ Ravelry usernames.

Lovely work, everyone – I think this is the prettiest roundup ever! Seeing them all together makes me want to design some new plant patterns 🙂

Reptiles & Amphibians CAL

As we’re heading into summer (for most of you) and people have less time and inclination to crochet, the June CAL is an extended 6-week CAL to take us through to mid-July. The Reptiles & Amphibians theme includes all my dinosaur, lizard, turtle and frog (the sole amphibian!) designs:

For easy browsing, you can find all these patterns in one place in my shop by clicking this special link: all PlanetJune Reptile & Amphibian patterns. If any of these designs take your fancy, I hope you’ll join us in the PlanetJune group on Ravelry and crochet-along with us for this CAL!

    Spring is in the air, for sure, even if this May was cold and wet here in Holland. But it was in full bloom with your patterns! 🙂 What a wonderful CAL this was. I enjoyed it so much, both participating and seeing all the lovely things everyone made. And I will enjoy it once more when I give my African Violets to my aunt for her 79th birthday in June. It’s still a surprise, of course, and I can just anticipate how amazed she will be and how she will love them. 🙂 Thanks, June, your patterns are not only clever and beautiful, they are also some of the little joys in life. 🙂

    What a lovely roundup 🙂 So colourful and in bloom – unlike the weather outside. I am very happy with my contributions this month – my living room looks so much brighter with the garland 🙂 Thank you, June, for the lovely patterns 🙂
