Had a rough night with my dog Storm last night, who has sadly been having health issues since midsummer. She’s resting now, but I will definitely be keeping it low key this weekend. The one silver lining to all this is finding little pockets of time to work on a new, slow knitting idea I’ve been back-burnering for far too long. ❤️

Working with @knit_picks needles & @kelbournewoolens Germantown (just the kind of solid wool I love) and swatching like mad. #stopswatchandblockit #handsoccupied

I showed you the back in technique tutorials this summer, but turned around, that white and blue latch hook project was a BOMB POPSICLE, y’all! 🙌🏻💥

For whatever reason, aprons seem to be everywhere

For whatever reason, aprons seem to be everywhere in my life all of a sudden! First, I stitched up a little toddler apron last week for my niece (see last post). Then when I was doing some fall home reorganization, I unearthed a whole cache of aprons handmade in gingham and cross-stitched by (I think) my mom & her sisters to learn those skills as kids. Here’s just one - I might have to share each. They’re all pretty adorable and are well due for ironing! #vintageapron #handsoccupied

I *was* trying to take a cute picture of the cute toddler apron I stitched up for my cute niece, but then Woodrow got involved and out-cuted everything with whatever this derpy face is. ❤️ 👅 #sewistsofinstagram

Have a great weekend, friends! ☺️

This may or may not be *exactly* how my latch hook

This may or may not be *exactly* how my latch hook journey began 2.5 years ago. (Lest you forget, #latchhookbook is being printed as we speak! 😉) I’m poring over the same 2 reference books from the 1980s, suddenly finding myself engrossed in new ideas for hours to days at a time. Again. 🤓 I’m very excited to see where my macramé journey takes me in 2.5 years’ time! Anybody else start a (or revisit a long dormant) craft and just knew in their gut that this was going to click for them? #handsoccupied #macrame
