Doing all of this weaving all the time has gotten me to really figure out how to balance working a full time job and basically full time weaving! I wanted to share with y’all how this has worked for me and how you can maybe do this in your own life.
Read MoreThere is more out there in the weaving world, that is very similar to weaving but is not exactly weaving. Most of the time, they are marketed as kids crafts but when you get the hang of it, you can make things way cooler than what is marketed. I mean let’s think of it, most of us learned to weave as kids, but just on a pot holder loom! The craft that I am thinking of here is latch hooking. You remember those latch hook kits in your local craft store of a smiley face, I know you do. I bet they still sell it, so if you don’t remember- go check it out.

I am going to show you the basics of creating your own loom, some simple weaving techniques and how to create a wall hanging!
