Last weekend I attended the Michigan Fiber Festival and taught a workshop. I finally got to meet Joan Sheridan, who also taught an inkle workshop there. We have been following each other on social media for quite some time and it was great to finally meet her in person and nerd out about inkle weaving. She's the reason that I decided to go to the MFF and it was worth the travel time to hang out with her and her store crew!
Joan teaches a variety of weaving and knitting workshops, but she has a fondness for the inkle loom. I am impressed with her curious exploration and how she inspires inkle weavers with her classes and kits!
Check out the video in the comments to see the kits. I wasn't allowed to share it and my photo in one post.

This month, one of my priorities has been clearing dead trees and getting great exercise while spending time in our 5-acre forest. Feels great to spend so much time among the trees!
In addition, Fiber Arts on 4th has been keeping me busy with workshops. This Saturday, August 1st, we'll be weaving pickup on horizontal bars. There are spaces open and I hope that a few more weavers will join us. More info here: https://fiberartson4th.com/fiber-arts-events/horizontal-bar-pickup-on-the-inkle-loom/?occurrence=2026-08-01

Oh July 18th-19th, I will be a part of the ACC Open Studios along with 3 other artists at Fiber Arts on 4th in Los Ranchos de Albuquerque. I'll also be teaching a beginning inkle workshop on that Saturday, so my daughters will be representing me and helping to showcase my work.

Join our local instructors to learn about their experience as artists and their craft!

Some of you have been asking when you can sign up for the "Weave Landscapes on the Inkle Loom" workshop in Albuquerque. Today's the day! https://fiberartson4th.com/fiber-arts-events/inkle-loom-landscapes/
I will also be teaching this workshop at Band Camp for Weavers in Wisconsin and at the Duluth Fiber Guild.

Found this photo from a few years back and don't know if I ever shared it. Guitar strap woven in Three-color pickup. Love how this one turned out!

Rainbow lanyard for a friend.
EDIT:Although I made this pattern up on the fly, several people asked about it, so I drew it up and shared it on my Patreon page here: https://www.patreon.com/AnnieMacHale/posts/rainbow-pickup-161478992?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

Next week I will teach a new workshop, Reptile-Inspired Designs for Inkle Weavers. We'll be using my original designs including snakes, lizards and turtles. Thanks to my local shop, Fiber Arts on 4th, for hosting all of my workshops!

Thanks to all you well-wishers! I sold half of my inventory yesterday at the show, hitting my goal exactly! And I completed the strap on my loom, which will forever be infused with good music vibes! You can hear the live music in the background as I weave.
The music and company was great!
