ICYMI, I’ve been road tripping to see family this week! As I spend today getting back to normal, here’s a shot of some making I managed to shoe-horn in on the go: blocking a sweater swatch using a travel sewing kit, a wash cloth & a yoga mat. 🤓 Needs must, right?
.
What’s the most innovative way you’ve blocked a project? 🧶

Spent the afternoon crocheting in the woods in the rain. ❤️ On breaks, I foraged for some future houseplants & did light exercise. Highly recommend. ☺️ #handsoccupied #crochet #cottonyarn #arkansas

Yarn wig making: not the most ideal travel craft, but we are making it work! ☺️ What’s the least travel-friendly craft you’ve tried to take on a trip?

Hi there! For new folks, I wanted to post my face for the first time in awhile. I’m Heidi, the maker behind Hands Occupied. Knitting, crochet, latch hook & macramé are my professional design specialty. (Though, in this picture, you can see I’ve been working on - y’all guessed it yesterday- yarn wigs! 🧶) I’m most known for advanced intarsia knitting pattern designs, my 2020 latch hook book, & being a craft blogger since 2010.
.
I’ve started to try my hand at Reels & YouTube this year, & I’m loving getting more into video after spending so long doing written tutorials and hosting videos for other craft companies. Feel free to say hello & share your craft(s) of choice & recent passion projects in the comments! ☺️✂️

Conjuring up some aunt magic for a special soon-to-be 3 year old with a homemade measuring tool. Happily for me, this is one of my favorite crazy yarn things to make! ☺️✂️
.
Any guesses as to what this is gonna be? Hint: It’s one of the most popular tutorials on the Hands Occupied blog among people who don’t normally do crafts.
.
I’m using leftover yarn from some of the pieces in my #latchhookbook, specifically @lionbrandyarn LB Collection Superwash Merino in 3 shades of red. 🧶 #lionbrandyarn #handsoccupied #yarn #yarncraft #wool
