Two new beauties already hung for tonight's show at the Cudahy Historical Society 🐡🐋 @littlechaos__made and @ashleyduganschettl also have some wonderful handmade treasures on the walls- come hang with us from 6-10pm! Happy Fri-yay!!
☀️solstice vibes ☀️ The talented (and freshly married!) @snaggle_tooth_tattoos inked my arm a few months back with beautiful native plants and a rusty patch bumble bee, showing my love for the Midwest and gardening. As of March, this bee, native to the upper Midwest, has been put on the endangered species list. With it being National Pollinator Week, I encourage you to plant MORE native flowers and plants in your yard/balcony/porch/community garden to attract all of the insects! This includes bees, butterflies, ants, moths, pollen wasps, bee flies.... the list goes on!! Stay engaged and thank our pollinating friends- they are critical in our food supply and ecosystems 🐝🦋🐛🐜🐞🌼 . . . . . #nationalpollinatorweek #midwest #rustypatchedbumblebee #pollinators #pollinatorgarden #urbangarden #botanicaltattoo #summerofbasics #fringeassociation #knittingmachine #handmade #handmadewardrobe #slowfashion #slowfashionmovement #quinceyarn #quincewillet #knitwear #knitweardesign #solstice #summersolstice #blackworktattoo #tattooedknitter

When your friend is so excited that you wrote a sock pattern that she decides it's going to be the first pair of socks she ever knits. Feeling all the feels with this pair of Community Socks. 💜💜 . . . . . #communitysocks #sockknitting #operationsockdrawer #socksunday #knittersofinstagram #handknitwardrobe #handknitsocks #slowfashion #slowfashionmovement #handmadewardrobe #handmade #grateful
Arrived just in time for the blooming coreopsis! Congratulations @pamalajane on your wonderful book!

I finished seaming my #summerofbasics tank just in time to photograph it under the sunset sky. We've had really warm weather the past week, which feels unusual for this early in summer. My summer wardrobe is the smallest because of the short season, and when designing this sweater I wanted something that could be transitional from spring until fall. Tank is knit with @quinceandco Willet cotton yarn on a flat bed knitting machine and is a personal design. ✨ Now to start considering a new basic wardrobe piece for July! . . . . #fringeassociation #quinceyarn #quincewillet #eyelet #eyeletlace #slowfashion #handmadewardrobe #handmade #sustainablefashion #knitting #machineknitting #knittersofinstagram #knitwear #knitweardesign #knittersofig #sarahloveskarma

Happy Knit in Public Day! 🎉 Cheers to all you knitters who are out there supporting new knitters, encouraging slow fashion and supporting your local yarn shops (bonus if they are woman owned!)! The knitting community is a strong one, and everyday I'm in awe of the positive energy and enthusiasm from it. I just finished my Community Socks for Sock Club, knit in @yarnonthehouse Big Sister. The cashmere in the yarn has me feeling fancy. . . . . . #communitysocks #whfcsockclub #knitinpublic #knitinpublicday #worldwideknitinpublicday #lys #shopsmall #knitting #tattoedknitter #knittingtattoo #yothyarns #yarnonthehouse #knittersofinstagram #knittersofig #sockknitting #operationsockdrawer

Thank you to everyone who came out to Bay View Gallery Night! It was so much fun meeting new people and having your support. So much gratitude! 💛 The show will be up for one more week, in case you couldn't make it out last night. Check @wildhavenfiberco store hours to plan a visit! . . . . . #weaving #ikat #handdyed #handwoven #floorloom #fiberart #driftless #bvgn #bayview #wildhavenfiberco #womanownedbusiness #womanowned #naturaldye #plantdye #mke #milwaukee #midwestmakers
One of my summer intensions is to keep practicing on the knitting machine, and with the #summerofbasics starting today, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to work on a new machine knit top. This month I am going to focus on decreases, eyelet lace patterning and piecework with this summer tank. Willet by @quinceandco has found its way back into my stash, and the Rudder color is neutral enough to complement all the black I already have in my wardrobe. I've drawn out the flat for the top, and now I need to work on all the specs aka lots and lots of math. 🤔 Anyone else participating in the summer project? What are you looking to include in your current wardrobe? . . . . . #handmade #handmadewardrobe #slowfashion #machineknitting #quinceyarn #quincewillet #creamcityyarn #shoplocal #lys #knitwear #knitweardesign #capsulewardrobe
One more year around the sun for my main squeeze. So grateful to be by your side along the way, and look forward to all of our adventures together. 🎈 Birthday socks are knit with @labienaimee in Happy Accident- because everyone should wear some fun speckles on their birthday. 🎉🎉 (Swipe left to see the birthday socks!) . . . . #operationsockdrawer #labienaimee #sockknitting #handknit #knitting #speckles #birthday #knittersofinstagram
