Thank you everyone for the kind words about the new Magic Carpet knit design! Here’s a zoomed out look at the magical beast, captured in a quick self-timer shot at one in the morning on 1/3/21. 😆

(Swipe to read!) That’s right, folks! I’m a mad mad mad mad designer and have created the pattern for a life-size take on Aladdin’s Magic Carpet for @tanisknits’ new Knitting with Disney book from @insighteditions.

Since there’s a ton to cover on all things Knitting with Disney, I’ve collected everything you need to know in a blog post, linked in my bio. It includes preorder information, how to get Knitting with Disney for 25% off, how to get a free bonus pattern for preordering, & how to get in on the official #knittingwithdisney launch party LIVE this weekend (which includes me via zoom). It’s really not too terribly much but Instagram captions are the worst for conveying information, so head to handsoccupied.com for the aforementioned things. 😉

I was taking photos to help decide which color combo I like the most on a new crochet project. All of a sudden, June stuck her head in, started to steal a granny square, but decided she was too tired. / This is her mid-falling asleep with her teeth caught on the corner of a square. Too cute! 😂
