The first annual PlanetJune Reindeer Games crochet-along has just finished, and it was a huge success! It was a lovely sociable way to end the year, and provided a good escape for everyone from all the usual end-of-year stresses. <\/p>\n

Over the 2 month CAL, we had a very active time – 48 pages of chat! – and an amazing 104 completed projects:<\/p>\n

Wow!<\/strong> Click through to see the Reindeer Games gallery on Ravelry<\/a>, including credit for all the participants and links to all the patterns they used!<\/em><\/p>\n

I’m going to make the Reindeer Games an annual event, so look out for my announcement next October if you’d like to take part in the 2022 CAL (or sign up for my monthly newsletter<\/a> now so I can send you a reminder!)<\/p>\n

In the meantime, I’m collecting feedback on how we can make the games better and smoother for the next run. The advantage of running my own event is that everything<\/em> can be changed and improved, in collaboration with the PlanetJune community. There’s a thread in the PlanetJune Ravelry group<\/a> where we can discuss suggestions and decide what changes can be made – I hope you’ll share your ideas there.<\/p>\n

And please feel free to comment here too, especially<\/strong> if you don’t\/can’t use Ravelry – having an (additional) off-Ravelry way to participate is one of the possible improvements I’d consider for next year, if people would appreciate that. If there’s another online location that you’d prefer to use instead of Ravelry, do let me know. A Facebook group? A Discord server? Something else?<\/p>\n

Congratulations to everyone who participated in the first Reindeer Games, and thank you to everyone who makes the PlanetJune community such a friendly, welcoming environment. It’s a pleasure to be a part of it and to get to know you all – and to see the beautiful creations you make from my patterns \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
