August Sponsor Spotlight

August Sponsor Spotlight at Hands Occupied

Welcome to the first Sponsor Spotlight! This is where I take a look at our sponsors for the month and share some of my favorite things about them. Up first, we’ve got Ewe Ewe Yarns and PostStitch. :)

Ewe Ewe Yarns

Ewe Ewe Yarns is a wholesale yarn company specializing in merino wool and modern knitting patterns. They make Ewe So Sporty and Wooly Worsted yarn, and their site features a ton of great, colorful patterns for everything from shawls to baby sweaters. I met Heather, the owner, at The National Needlearts Association conference this year, and we quickly bonded over our shared H-names and, obviously, love of knitting.

My favorite items from Ewe Ewe are #1, the yarn, because of the bright, lovely colors both the Wooly Worsted and Ewe So Sporty come in. Celebrating those colors is my other favorite Ewe Ewe item, the Rainbows and Unicorns Wrap by my pal and fellow YarnTalk host, Leah Coccari-Swift.

PostStitch

I first learned about PostStitch at Vogue Knitting Live Chicago last fall. PostStitch sells monthly subscription boxes featuring everything you need to knit a project. Their BigStitch box features one adult woman’s garment/accessory project with all the tools you need to knit it start to finish, while the SockStitch box features one woman’s sock project with printed pattern, yarn, and extras. I got to try out one of their BigStitch boxes last year and loved it.

In addition to the kits, they also have a shop where you can get knitting kits, notions and fun knitting gifts. Two of my favorite picks from the PostStitch shop are the Emoji KnittingTote and the Fix It Stitch Markers. Just look at ’em! I wonder if I can get that knitting emoji keyboard for my phone… ;)

A big thank you to our sponsors this month! Your support means so much, and I’m so glad to be working with you.

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
Instagram post 17855857273660569 Have you downloaded this new charity knitting pattern? The Triangle Rib Baby Hat knits up quick and is perfect to squeeze in between making holiday gifts! Visit the link in bio to get your hands on this free charity knitting pattern for babies to start stitching for a cause. ❤️❤️❤️
Instagram post 17845581628824699 Today on the blog, we’re talking about how to use the @knitcompanion app specifically in garment knitting. With new advanced note-taking features that let you write by hand, directly on your digital pattern page, the newest version of knitCompanion is definitely worth a try! The full review is linked in bio. #ad

.

Seems like a good excuse to let y’all know that the #handsoccupiedstudio schedule for Craft Nights and Crafternoons has been updated through 1/8! .
.

Head to the link in bio to update your calendars- Christmas & New Years Days both land on Wednesday this year, so there will not be Craft Night those days, but we WILL have Crafternoon on 12/29 from noon to 4 as usual. I imagine it’ll be a great time to detox from family time. Not that anyone will need it by the 29th... 🎄😜
