On my podcast, Very Serious Crafts: “In season 3, episode 5 of the Very Serious Crafts Podcast, Haley makes plans for apocalypse weaving, Mollie escapes to her Animal Crossing craft room, and Heidi brings all the make do and mend vibes. Sadly, sheltering in place hasn’t given any of them extra free time.” Don’t forget to check us out on Patreon.

Recently on the blog: I announced my return to a more active crafty internet life after my book-writing hiatus. Read about what’s up with Hands Occupied in 2020.

It's the Tooling Around Slippers crochet pattern! :) Originally designed for Jimmy Bean's Wool last year, the rights for this pattern have returned to me, so it’s now available on Ravelry for the first time! This easy crochet pattern uses a skein each of Berroco Ultra Wool & Malabrigo Rios for a quick project.
