Heidi from Hands Occupied walks you through how to knit the Twice Turned Stitch. Using a combination of twisted and slipped stitches, this stitch knits up into a nice dense fabric that would be right at home in a warm sweater.

This stitch is just so lovely, don’t you think? This week on YouTube, we’re breaking down how to knit the elegant Twice Turned Stitch. Using a combination of twisted and slipped stitches, this stitch knits up into a nice dense fabric that would be right at home in a warm sweater.

I chose this stitch not just because it’s kind of funky to knit (YouTube being a great medium for teaching in 3D), but also because winter is on the way! A stitch like this is perfect for cold weather wear. The titular two turns in this stitch are created by slipping stitches over the course of three rows, creating a denser-than-average knit fabric that will hold heat nicely. Hot tip! 😉

Twice Turned STITCH VIDEO TUTORIAL

You can watch the video in this blog post, or you can head to the Hands Occupied YouTube Channel to subscribe and get notifications when new videos are posted. Like I mentioned last week, I am aiming for new videos every 1-2 weeks when I’m on a design deadline, which I am now (thankfully – always grateful to get to to this crazy craft thing as my job). So in two weeks, the next video will drop and I will give you a hint: It’s one of my most requested tutorials!

I read recently that tiktok and Instagram are being used as search engines more and more. 🤔 I thought since I’m going to all the work of making tutorials on YouTube, I should experiment with making a quick version of them for other platforms. There are obvious teaching limitations to vertical video, short-form content like this, but I think I covered the gist of this cast on in a minute. The YouTube version also covers how to unzip this cast on because there was time for it 👍🏻 L1nk is in my profile. 
.
I’m very much looking for feedback as I continue to make instructional knitting & craft videos. Sometimes good tutorials are hard to find, and (ideally polite) feedback helps me improve.

For the first time in a long time, there’s a new For the first time in a long time, there’s a new tutorial from Hands Occupied! 🎉 The video is live on YouTube & the blog. 
.
The post covers what provisional cast ons are & how they differ, and the video covers how to work a one-step provisional cast on using scrap yarn and a crochet hook. (This is a great one to save for future reference.)
.
I learned several names for this method while researching this video & post. Crochet provisional cast on, one-step cast on, scrap yarn cast on - if you know even more names for this technique, please share!

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!

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!
