Picks of the Week for November 14, 2014 at handsoccupied.com

images via sources below

Winter is coming. Christmas is coming. It’s almost Thanksgiving. And that means a lot of us have very deadline-driven knitting and crocheting to do! I am thoroughly convinced my handmade gift-giving goals are pretty much delusional, but I’m bound and determined to give them a try. Anyone else in this situation about now? It’s ok, you can fess up. I understand. ;) Oh look! More ideas you’re going to want to try to get done between now and Christmas!
