Okay, podcast episode 114 is in the bag. We just have to update the blog and do a couple other behind-the-scenes maneuvers. But…

1 week 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
7 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
6 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
3 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.

I don’t have a way to immediately fix this, so I will keep teaching, creating, practicing kindness and inclusion, and celebrating
2 days 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
