Hi! I’m Heidi Gustad, and I’m a yarn crafts designer and blogger, partial to primary colors, vintage style and most needlecrafts. Along with two designer friends, I co-host The Very Serious Crafts Podcast. My first book is set to be released in the fall of 2020.

Happy Friday, friends! I’m Heidi, the designer behind Hands Occupied. An unapologetic lover of primary colors, vintage style and all things yarn, I work from a small artist’s studio space in Chicago making fiber art & craft patterns using latch hook, knitting, crochet & other needlecrafts. 🧶 .
.
My creative career began with starting a blog about crafts in 2010, and now Hands a Occupied has become this colorful umbrella under which I design craft patterns and create content. My first book, a guide to contemporary latch hook, comes out this fall from @leisureartsinc. I’m so glad to have you here! Where are you from? I’m curious! Holler in the comments. ❤️💛💙.
