Things to Crochet

Ugh, I just love looking at crochet patterns! Crochet is a craft with a really fascinating culture. On one end of the spectrum, you can create beautiful, sculptural projects that can be tons of fun (see: this month’s skeleton and alpaca blanket picks). And on the other end of the spectrum, you have elegant, understated garments like sweaters and practical accessories. With all crafts, you can make so many things, but the culture of crochet is particularly unpretentious in the best way. Anyway, enough of me waxing poetic about how much I love the crochet world – on to the inspiration!

Instagram post 18043011205209234 Happy weekend, everyone! There are several new faces today, so to you, I say welcome! 😊 I’m Heidi, the knitting, crochet and yarn crafts designer behind Hands Occupied. I’m based in Chicago, where I work out of a small studio space, the Hands Occupied Studio. Every week I host an open Craft Night and on the last Sunday of the month we have a Crafternoon. They’re all free and open to anyone who wants to hang out and craft with others (snacks are always welcome!). .
.

A little about me: I’m a knit and crochet pattern designer, but I’m really about all things string, from crochet to macramé. Lately I’ve been particularly obsessed with contemporary latch hook and punch needle trends. However, in my recent handmade wardrobe projects I’ve been drawn to everything vintage. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Funny how that works! 😆.
.

In addition to the blog, design work, and the Studio, I co-host the Very @seriouscrafts Podcast, a top 10-ranked crafts podcast heading into our third season in 2020! 🎙 That about covers it - thanks so much for indulging a long caption 🙏🏼 , and I’m so glad to have you here! ☺️❤️💛💙 #handsoccupied #veryseriouscrafts
Instagram post 17855857273660569 Have you downloaded this new charity knitting pattern? The Triangle Rib Baby Hat knits up quick and is perfect to squeeze in between making holiday gifts! Visit the link in bio to get your hands on this free charity knitting pattern for babies to start stitching for a cause. ❤️❤️❤️
Instagram post 17845581628824699 Today on the blog, we’re talking about how to use the @knitcompanion app specifically in garment knitting. With new advanced note-taking features that let you write by hand, directly on your digital pattern page, the newest version of knitCompanion is definitely worth a try! The full review is linked in bio. #ad
Instagram post 18006397024263184 How adorable is Storm and her little ironing board step stool? 😭 .
.

Seems like a good excuse to let y’all know that the #handsoccupiedstudio schedule for Craft Nights and Crafternoons has been updated through 1/8! .
.

Head to the link in bio to update your calendars- Christmas & New Years Days both land on Wednesday this year, so there will not be Craft Night those days, but we WILL have Crafternoon on 12/29 from noon to 4 as usual. I imagine it’ll be a great time to detox from family time. Not that anyone will need it by the 29th... 🎄😜
