Picks of the Week for November 3, 2017 | Hands Occupied

images via sources below

Texture is trending this week! Yarn is the easiest (and, ahem, some would say best) way to add some texture to your house or wardrobe. With quick ideas like these, why not try to knock out a couple of projects this week?

And if you’re more in the market for slippers, my newest pattern was published this week, and it’s a cute bootie style slipper pattern. With leather soles and the ability to wear them two ways, they’re sure to become your go-to footwear this winter. ;) Read more about them below!

New pattern alert! Twisted Peppermint Slippers

Twisted Peppermint Slippers by Heidi Gustad in I Like Knitting magazine - December 2017
I have a new design in the December issue of I Like Knitting magazine! Twisted Peppermint Slippers use bulky yarn so you can knit up a pair for you or for holiday gifts in just a weekend! These fun slippers will be your go-to cozy companion for winters at home. The finished, flexible style of the slipper is achieved with traditional cuff-down, sock construction techniques and a combination of working flat and in the round.

Get the pattern exclusively in the new issue of I Like Knitting.
