Picks of the Week for August 20, 2015 | Hands Occupied

images via sources below

Wait. A Thursday Picks of the Week you ask? Well, I’m taking a good ole actual vacation starting tomorrow. I’ve had quite the summer at the library this year (don’t even get me started). Between that and the zany, overscheduled-but-for-amazing-reasons summer I’ve had in my knitting career, I need a break! So today is my last day ON, and I’m doing Picks of the Week early so I can sign off for real for 5 days. Don’t worry, though! I’ve got posts scheduled already for the first half of next week, and I’ll still be knitting along with you guys on my Delta Hat during the vacay. (Because I mean, what sort of lunatic would ever stop knitting? Other than when they have tendonitis?) See you guys in a few!
