A look at ALL of the Ornaments of Christmas (and a surprise 25% off sale!)

Knit or crochet some adorable ornaments to trim your tree! Get your hands on this collection of 24 knit and crochet patterns for Christmas ornaments. Each ornament doubles as a great gift topper or stocking stuffer!
It’s hard to believe I’ve been working on what became this 24-pattern collection for four years! Four years ago, I was still working as a librarian (details), my age started with the number 2, and my knit & crochet design career was just starting to get serious. As we’ve wound down the series this season, it’s been kind of cool to look back at how my approach to design has evolved, and how much easier designing these little things got over the years. To avoid waxing on and/or sounding like a broken record, I’ll direct you to the Ornaments of Christmas archive page for the full story about how the series got started. Right now, let’s focus on taking a look at all 24 ornaments and let you in on a little sale we’ve got going to celebrate the finale of the Ornaments of Christmas!

Save 25% on all ornament patterns in the Shop!

Maybe you didn’t know there’s a shop on Hands Occupied? It’s something I started in earnest earlier this year, and now it’s grown, bit by bit, to include workshops, a few knitting and crochet kits, and PATTERNS! In the Shop, there are dozens and dozens of pattern PDFs featuring the patterns released here on the Hands Occupied Blog. I’m still working through adding my full archive of blog patterns from before the Shop existed, but that’s ok! (Podcast listeners, you might recall my hand-wringing over my anxiety about still having some to get to, haha! 😉)  More patterns are added every week I can spare a few hours to format the pattern PDF and add the shop listing, so right now there are over 50 items in the Hands Occupied Shop, including all of the ornaments and patterns from 2018.

If you want to check out the Shop, now is the perfect time. Our hashtag for the ornament series is now your golden ticket! Grab yourself an ornament pattern (or, you know, all 24) for less than a dollar each. Just use HANDSOCCUPIEDHOHOHO at checkout to save 25% on ALL the mini ornament patterns. Each ornament can be made in an evening, which makes the ornament patterns the perfect selfish gift to give yourself for working crazy hard during this busy time of year.

And that’s not all, as they say. 😊 Since the Mini Fandom Sweater patterns have been so popular on Instagram this month, I’ve set it up so they are also eligible for 25% off using HANDSOCCUPIEDHOHOHO. Because let’s be honest, mini sweaters make perfect ornaments!

How to to knit throwing (a.k.a. English) style . How to to knit throwing (a.k.a. English) style 
.
In knitting, there are a few common knitting styles. Most often you’re going to encounter continental style and English (throwing) style on your knitting journey. I recently had an old video teaching continental style get a lot of views. Based on the comments, it was clear the people wanted to also see a throwing tutorial, so here you go! 🧶
.
Please note that there is a LOT of variation in knitting styles, and one isn’t necessarily better than another. Most often, I’ve found it comes down to two things: how you were taught and whether or not you’re really into colorwork knitting (which can involve a mix of styles). 
.
Longer-term knitters who’ve made it this far: do you prefer one over the other? And why?

I read recently that tiktok and Instagram are being used as search engines more and more. 🤔 I thought since I’m going to all the work of making tutorials on YouTube, I should experiment with making a quick version of them for other platforms. There are obvious teaching limitations to vertical video, short-form content like this, but I think I covered the gist of this cast on in a minute. The YouTube version also covers how to unzip this cast on because there was time for it 👍🏻 L1nk is in my profile. 
.
I’m very much looking for feedback as I continue to make instructional knitting & craft videos. Sometimes good tutorials are hard to find, and (ideally polite) feedback helps me improve.

For the first time in a long time, there’s a new For the first time in a long time, there’s a new tutorial from Hands Occupied! 🎉 The video is live on YouTube & the blog. 
.
The post covers what provisional cast ons are & how they differ, and the video covers how to work a one-step provisional cast on using scrap yarn and a crochet hook. (This is a great one to save for future reference.)
.
I learned several names for this method while researching this video & post. Crochet provisional cast on, one-step cast on, scrap yarn cast on - if you know even more names for this technique, please share!

Peg boards and craft room organization go together Peg boards and craft room organization go together like peanut butter and jelly. So, as you can see, do latch hook tools and screwdriver organizers! 🪛 
.
I think this trick translates to any tool with a thick handle, so leather working tools, punch needles, print making tools, etc. should work! What other tools am I, a needlecrafter, blanking on right now?
