Picks of the Week for January 19, 2018

Deadline Land is where all of a knit & crochet designer’s time goes to die. ;) This not-so-magical place is on my mind as the weekend (and my deadlines) approach. While one should never complain about having serious motivation to finish a design or a project, sometimes it’s good to pop your head out of your yarn-lined hidey-hole and get some sun. Even if you’ve been really cranking out the projects so far in 2018, just remember to get out there, even if you’re more bundled up than the kid in A Christmas Story. <3

Luckily I, along with other Chicago readers in the audience, have something to look forward to other than work next week – the first-ever Hands Occupied Meet Up is on Tuesday! That’s definitely fuel to crush some deadlines and get ready to chill with friends! (RSVP/learn more here)
