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.

Fiber artist & yarn craft designer, unapologetically into primary colors & vintage style / Co-host, @seriouscrafts podcast / #LatchHookBook fall 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. ❤️💛💙.
