It’s time for another crochet-along roundup from the PlanetJune ravelry group<\/a> members. The Accessory-Along raised some interesting discussions this month (some of which I’ll blog about in future): the difference it makes when you ‘yarn under’ instead of ‘yarn over’ when you crochet, how to do the Tunisian knit stitch, and the difference between working into a ch and a ch-sp. See, Crochet-Alongs are fun and<\/strong> educational!<\/p>\n

As many of the PlanetJune Accessories patterns<\/a> take far longer to complete than an amigurumi, the group members have voted to extend the Accessories CAL<\/a> for another month, to give people more time to complete their projects, or even start new projects to give as Christmas presents. You can join in too, if you’d like – we’d love to have you join us!<\/p>\n

In addition, I’ll be launching the 2011 Christmas CAL<\/strong> tomorrow (with prizes!) so check back here or on Ravelry for details \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

And now let’s see the November results of the Accessories CAL<\/a>! (As usual, I’m crediting the participants by their Ravelry usernames, so you can look them up on Ravelry if you want more details.)<\/em><\/p>\n

Let’s start this roundup with the show-stopping larger projects:<\/p>\n
