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

images via sources below

Spring is definitely here! Sometimes in the yarn craft world, that means you simply see a lot less yarn, period. So far this season, that is decidedly not the case. With such cute and colorful inspiration, I’m not sure which one of these I can’t wait to try. What project are you going to tackle this weekend?

Instagram post 17896375633420961 Christmas handmade sweater alert! 🎄 Head to the blog (link in bio) today to read about my Christmasy take on the Soldotna Crop sweater pattern by @boylandknitworks, including tips for customizing for fit! 📐 Yes, it’s okay to incorporate shaping in your knitwear, even on a sweater with positive ease. 😉❤️

Instagram post 18043011205209234 Happy weekend, everyone! There are several new faces today, so to you, I say welcome! 😊 I’m Heidi, the knitting, crochet and yarn crafts designer behind Hands Occupied. I’m based in Chicago, where I work out of a small studio space, the Hands Occupied Studio. Every week I host an open Craft Night and on the last Sunday of the month we have a Crafternoon. They’re all free and open to anyone who wants to hang out and craft with others (snacks are always welcome!). .
.

A little about me: I’m a knit and crochet pattern designer, but I’m really about all things string, from crochet to macramé. Lately I’ve been particularly obsessed with contemporary latch hook and punch needle trends. However, in my recent handmade wardrobe projects I’ve been drawn to everything vintage. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Funny how that works! 😆.
.

In addition to the blog, design work, and the Studio, I co-host the Very @seriouscrafts Podcast, a top 10-ranked crafts podcast heading into our third season in 2020! 🎙 That about covers it - thanks so much for indulging a long caption 🙏🏼 , and I’m so glad to have you here! ☺️❤️💛💙 #handsoccupied #veryseriouscrafts
