7 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

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
