6 days ago by craftsanity I’m finally almost ready to release a new twist on an old CraftSanity Potholder Loom design. Stay tuned because this one will make you feel like a kid all over again. : ) #craftsanitylooms #potholder #potholderloom #weave #weaver #weaving #handmadeinmichigan #weaversofinstagram
6 days ago by craftsanity Minutes after I placed the rug I’m knitting on the coffee table to review my progress, Justine the Cat leapt up to test it out. I let her rest there for a bit since the rug will eventually be on the floor and very likely another one of her regular napping stations. #knitting #ontheneedles #knit #catlady #knittersofinstagram #knitters #catladyknitters #felineproducttester
5 days ago by craftsanity I’m branding and sanding another batch of weaving looms today. Much sample banner and hexagon weaving ahead. If you’re interested in taking a small loom class here in West Michigan, send me a DM. : ) #craftsanitylooms #weaving #craftsanityworkshops #loom #handmadeinmichigan #art #fiberart #weavingtools #bannerweaving #hexagon #hexagonloom
2 days ago by craftsanity This is my first attempt at a macrame leaf. I made it last night to distract myself from reality. My brain struggles to process the concept of many people being complacent about racist tweets flying out of the White House. It’s all very, very wrong and my concern about this dangerous rhetoric continues to increase. We really need to get back to a point where basic kindness and respect are guiding principles for our leaders. Anything less is unacceptable. I don’t have a way to immediately fix this, so I will keep teaching, creating, practicing kindness and inclusion, and celebrating
11 hours ago by craftsanity Justine the Cat walked across this rug in progress right before I snapped a photo to share with my friend who gifted me this pattern and has a rug of her own on the needles right now, too. I really enjoy knitting and wish I could knit faster. Which reminds me that I want to invest in more circular Lykke brand needles. I have exactly two pairs (not pictured) and I love them. Dear knitters, which needle brand is your current favorite? #knitting #rugknitting #knit #knittersofinstagram #lykkeneedles
