We didn&#8217;t have much luck coming up for a replacement name for the PlanetJune Accessories line (as I didn&#8217;t want the name to limit the scope of future designs &#8211; I think <em>accessories<\/em> is a good catch-all for everything except graded garments and toys), so we voted on a new name for the Accessory Kit instead.<\/p>\n<p>So, as from today, the item formerly know as <em>Amigurumi Accessory Kit<\/em> is reborn as the <a href=\"\/shop\/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=10&amp;products_id=157\"><strong>Amigurumi Essentials Kit<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/shop\/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=10&amp;products_id=157\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/amigurumiessentialskit.jpg\" alt=\"Amigurumi Essentials Kit (eyes, stitch markers, stuffing tool) by PlanetJune\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The contents is unchanged; you&#8217;ll still get:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 <a href=\"\/shop\/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=10&amp;products_id=109\">Detail Stuffing Tool<\/a><\/li>\n<li>5 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.planetjune.com\/tools\">Stitch Markers<\/a><\/li>\n<li>2 pairs black 6mm safety eyes with washers<\/li>\n<li>2 pairs clear 8mm safety eyes with washers<\/li>\n<li>2 pairs black 9mm safety eyes with washers<\/li>\n<li>2 pairs clear 10mm safety eyes with washers<\/li>\n<li>2 pairs black 12mm safety eyes with washers<\/li>\n<li>2 pairs clear 15mm safety eyes with washers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you do want to order one (or more) as Christmas gifts, please be aware that mail from South Africa takes about 2 weeks at the best of times, and I imagine it&#8217;ll get slower as we approach the holidays, so please don&#8217;t wait too long if you want to make sure you&#8217;ll receive your package in time for the big day.<\/p>\n<p>* * *<\/p>\n<h2>PlanetJune Accessories Custom Set of 3 Patterns<\/h2>\n<p>I launched this a few weeks ago, but just realised that I forgot to announce it!
