My Mum has come all the way to South Africa to visit me at the moment, so my Meerkat pattern release (and newsletter) will be a bit delayed while I spend some quality time with her – I’m sure you understand; these opportunities don’t come around very often. But we’re planning a day trip tomorrow and we’ll be taking the Meerkat and my camera along with us so he’ll be ready for his close-up if we spot the perfect location for his photoshoot! <\/p>\n

Review and Win contest<\/h2>\n

You’re automatically entered in the next monthly draw every time you write a review<\/a> for a PlanetJune pattern you’ve enjoyed – and you’ll also be helping future customers make an informed decision about patterns they are considering buying.<\/em><\/p>\n

April’s ‘Review and Win’ winner is Lisa J<\/strong>, with her review of my Aardvark<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"Aardvark<\/a><\/p>\n

After spending a few weeks perusing all the helpful info on PlanetJune, I was ready to take the plunge and buy a pattern. Couldn’t decide which one I wanted first, so started alphabetically with the lovely Aardvark – and I’m so happy with the results! The instructions are meticulous, precise, and easy to follow. I also followed June’s tutorial for invisible seaming, and voila! Everthing came together perfectly. I really appreciate June’s attention to detail, and I can’t wait for the meerkat pattern!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Congrats, Lisa – I’ll email you to find out which pattern you’d like as your prize. And the meerkat is coming very soon \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
