Oh my the Kindness Pin Loom Needs an update about the pins

Ooops! When I wrote the instructions for the pdf for making the Kindness Pin Loom I recommended using a specific kind of quilting pin for it, and arghhhh!

Those pins seem to be unavailable now.

So, I did a whole lot of test weaving using different kinds of pins and have recommendations for pins that will work (and one style that really really doesn’t work).

I made a YouTube video that explains which pins work fine, so all is well.

Weaving Kindness Project- How to weave a Lucky Penny Pouch

When I was a little girl, I remember when my parents saw a penny on the ground, they would say:

“Find a Penny, Pick it Up, and on that day, you’ll have good luck!”

Then, they would offer it to someone, saying: “Here’s a Lucky Penny for you! Good Luck!”.

I love making little gifts to brighten the day of someone (friend, family. acquaintance or stranger) and

I decided to make a new little Kindness gift.

It seems to me that right now, everyone we know (and don’t know) all need to feel like some Good Luck will come their way,

so that’s why I have come up with the Lucky Penny Pouches.

I have made this step by step video tutorial to show how to weave and make a Lucky Penny Pouch (for good luck!) using the Kindness Loom that I designed for my ‘Weaving Kindness Project’.

The Lucky Penny Pouches turn ‘lost and found’ pennies into little Good Luck treasures that say to people: You matter! I wish you well! and Good Luck!

The Lucky Penny Pouches are quick and easy and fun to make and to give away. You’ll need the Kindness Loom and to weave one square on it. The video tutorial is available on my youtube channel.

For the links to all the how to videos as well as links to purchase pdf patterns from my etsy shop, please go to: https://tottietalkscrafts.com/2025/02/23/all-the-links-for-the-kindness-loom-and-projects-by-noreen-crone-findlay/

Happy Weaving ❤ I wish you well ❤ You Matter ❤ Be Kind ❤ Be Safe ❤

How to Weave a Small Comfort Butterfly on the Chloe Loom

A couple of years ago, I made a youtube video on how to weave butterflies on the Mirrix Saffron loom. LINK

When I was chatting with Claudia and Elena on a webinar a few weeks ago, wonderful Sandy from Mirrix, mentioned about the tabby butterfly. This inspired the living daylights out of me, as I ‘aha-ed’ that I could weave smaller butterflies on the Chloe loom. (BTW, the butterfly woven on the Saffron loom can easily be woven on the Chloe loom, if you use the 8 epi combs.)

Why are small woven butterflies so exciting? For me, the most meaningful reason for weaving the Small Comfort Butterfly is to be able to offer kindness and comfort to people, whether I see them in person, or I mail one to them. People are worn to exhaustion nowadays with all the dreadfulness in the world, so even a tiny glimmer of hope in the form of a woven Comfort Butterflies is a lovely reminder to hold on and carry on, knowing that we are all in this together.

Also, the Comfort Butterflies can be appliqued onto to larger woven pieces or used for creative mending projects or worn as brooches, pins, zipper pulls or earrings. 

They also hang happily in house plants to brighten a cloudy day.

And, for those who still enjoy books that are made of paper rather electrons, the small butterflies make lovely bookmarks.

Oh my goodness! I ended up weaving more than 30 prototype butterflies in order to get to this simple little butterfly! It was worth all the work to get there, as it’s now a delightful little butterfly!

I’ve made a video tutorial on youtube to show you, step by step, how to weave and assemble the Comfort Butterfly. I hope that you will enjoy weaving lots of them, and giving them away as a symbol of hope and transformation in these challenging times!

Happy Weaving! May weaving and giving the Small Comfort Butterflies bring you joy! ❤

How to Weave Tabby on the Chloe Loom

I am designing a whole lot of really fun projects using the Mirrix Chloe Loom and they all are woven using Tabby weaving.

There are a few things that I do when weaving tabby on the Chloe loom that I wanted to share with people, so I have made a video about these tips.

Here’s the link to the video. Oh my…. I had a whalloping huge learning curve to build the video, as the program that I was using is no longer in existence…. sigh…. challenges!

I hope that these hints and tips and hacks are helpful!

Happy Weaving! ❤
