The Forgotten Gems CAL featured an eclectic mix of some of my more neglected designs:<\/p>\n

\"Forgotten<\/p>\n

With no fast (or free) patterns on offer, I knew there’d be fewer entries than usual, but we’re definitely looking at quality, not quantity this month – looking at the photos below makes me a very proud designer! <\/p>\n

And it’s interesting to see that, with all that choice, there were some definite themes running through the CAL – surprise favourites have been Aardvarks<\/a> and Yetis & Bigfoots<\/a>, as well as lots of Chunky Elegance Rugs<\/a> made into surprisingly beautiful doilies (just use crochet thread and a steel hook if you’d like to try making one too).<\/p>\n

Now, roundup time! (And don’t forget to keep reading to the end for the May CAL details…)<\/p>\n

This photo gallery is randomly ordered. For speed, I just give credit with participants’ Ravelry usernames.<\/em><\/p>\n

I’d like to thank everyone who participates in these CALs! I know it’s fun for you too, but it makes me so happy to see what people make from my patterns – it’s really rewarding for me to look at these roundups each month, to know that my work is appreciated and that I’m helping you to make beautiful things.<\/p>\n

May Flowers CAL<\/h2>\n

The May Flowers CAL includes all my botanical patterns: flowers, plants and fruit. When I came to make this mosaic of all the pattern options, I was amazed to discover I now have 20 of these designs (10 of which are donationware!) – they make quite a collection:<\/p>\n

\"May<\/p>\n

Although some of these patterns are a bit out-of-season for May, you’re welcome to make pumpkins and Christmas trees if they take your fancy – the choice is yours \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

NB: All these patterns are available in the Flowers & Plants<\/a> section of my shop, except the Mushroom and Toadstool, which are exclusively available in my book: The Complete Idiot\u2019s Guide to Amigurumi<\/a>. <\/p>\n

I hope you’ll join us in the PlanetJune group on Ravelry<\/a> for this floral CAL!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
