Temperatures are rising, so it’s time to knit up some colorful layers for your spring wardrobe!  We’re talking sweaters, shawls, hand warmers, and wraps to keep you warm (even when temps are up and down). Knitwear is great for adding texture and, most importantly in my opinion, color to your outfit. With quicker knits like these, keeping cozy despite spring’s surprises will be a breeze.

    The Crosswind scarf/shawlette has some BEAUTIFUL color variations in Ravelry, so inspirational! I’m also putting the Ramona cardigan high on my list, I was looking for a top-down cardigan pattern and this just might be it!
    Perfect timing on this post, my fingers are itching to knit something but I don’t have any immediate projects at hand!

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!

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... 🎄😜
Instagram post 17916408907364740 Apparently I’m on a fiber crafts but make it giant kick because there’s a new, larger-than-life project on the blog today, *just* in time for Thanksgiving! 🦃 🧶 .

Head to the link in my bio to learn how to make a giant friendship bracelet-inspired runner for your Friendsgiving table! Knotted with 100% American wool, this easy project doubles as a hostess gift and macramé scarf. 🧣 ☺️
Instagram post 17873885905495522 Just in time for holiday giving season, I designed the Triangle Rib Baby Hat, a free charity knitting pattern, for @knitterpride & @knitprodeu, and it's now live! In addition, KP is hosting a knit along (KAL) to encourage makers to donate some of their work to those in need via Wool Aid this holiday season. Pattern & KAL info available in English & German at the links in bio. #charityknitting #thankfulknitting
