Picks of the Week

Picks of the Week for November 25, 2016 | Hands Occupied

images via sources below

Welp, it’s officially one month til Christmas, folks! If you’re as unenthused by shopping as I am, the appeal of handmade gifts goes way beyond the joy of making and giving something you’ve created yourself. (And that’s saying something!) The nice thing about a lot of free patterns on blogs is how fast many of them work up – my best holiday handmaking tip is to take advantage of the huge amount of patterns & tutorials online. You’ll knock out those gifts in no time!

    I love the fingerless gloves pattern (and also the matching hat). Are they available in English?

    Thanks ~ Cmac

      You’ll have to contact the designer, or copy and paste the pattern into Google.com/translate. The link is above, but I’ll paste it here to save you step! Best!
