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
Instagram post 18006397024263184 How adorable is Storm and her little ironing board step stool? 😭 .

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... 🎄😜
Instagram post 17916408907364740 Apparently I’m on a fiber crafts but make it giant kick because there’s a new, larger-than-life project on the blog today, *just* in time for Thanksgiving! 🦃 🧶 .
.
Head to the link in my bio to learn how to make a giant friendship bracelet-inspired runner for your Friendsgiving table! Knotted with 100% American wool, this easy project doubles as a hostess gift and macramé scarf. 🧣 ☺️
Instagram post 17873885905495522 Just in time for holiday giving season, I designed the Triangle Rib Baby Hat, a free charity knitting pattern, for @knitterpride & @knitprodeu, and it's now live! In addition, KP is hosting a knit along (KAL) to encourage makers to donate some of their work to those in need via Wool Aid this holiday season. Pattern & KAL info available in English & German at the links in bio. #charityknitting #thankfulknitting
