I won’t ever publish a crochet pattern book – I’ve always turned down offers to write them and can’t see that changing in the future. PlanetJune is my livelihood, so I can’t do anything that would compete with that – my pattern shop is how I earn my living, so if you like PlanetJune patterns, buying the PDFs directly from me is, and always will be, the only way to get them!
I have published two crochet reference books: The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Amigurumi (the definitive reference guide to amigurumi techniques) and Idiot’s Guides: Crochet (the essential guide to learning crochet stitches and techniques). For each of these, I designed new patterns that are available exclusively in the books and allow you to practice the techniques I teach in each book.
