It’s hard to believe 2015 is nearly behind us, isn’t it? I love looking back at stats to see what did well each year. Between these top 9 posts from the blog this year, and the consistently-trending #2015bestnine posts all over Instagram this week (see mine below), it’s fascinating to see what types of patterns, tutorials and projects people visited and liked the most. Perhaps even more fascinating is seeing just how much purple and grey I manage to use in my yarn crafting! :) Apparently you all like those colors as much as I do.

Top 9 Hands Occupied Posts of 2015

  1. Knit Star Ornament
  2. Bulky Knit Throw Pattern
  3. Bulky Knit Rug Pattern
  4. How to Start a Weaving Project
  5. Long John Cowl
  6. How to Read Yarn Labels

Working on a sample for some upcoming videos. It’s an overcast day with intermittent sunshine & I have a scruffy little sidecar. 🐶 Can’t complain!

What’s on your needles this week?

Peg boards and craft room organization go together Peg boards and craft room organization go together like peanut butter and jelly. So, as you can see, do latch hook tools and screwdriver organizers! 🪛 
.
I think this trick translates to any tool with a thick handle, so leather working tools, punch needles, print making tools, etc. should work! What other tools am I, a needlecrafter, blanking on right now?

Pegboard storage is my favorite for craft supplies Pegboard storage is my favorite for craft supplies, so getting a few hung in my new studio has been a priority. Here’s my first attempt. 🔨 
.
Details: This pegboard panel is for organizing my knitting needles, latch hook tools, sewing thread, etc. It doesn’t need to hold much weight, so I didn’t anchor this into a stud - just used basic drywall anchors. I’ve also got a set of two 2’x4’ panels for another spot in my studio, and those will need a stud/more than 3 drywall anchors. Wish me luck!

June’s big ears can get cold in winter, so I’m improvising a doggie ear warmer/hood for her. What are the odds she tries to shred it immediately when it’s done?
