This week I'm bringing you a chat with artist and crafter Kristin Roach, 24, of Moline, Illinois. Kristin is the creative force behind the website Craft Leftovers, where she posts free patterns weekly. Tune in to find out how this art major at Northern Illinois University manages to balance school, her job at a yarn shop and her crafty side businesses.


If you haven't checked out her site yet, you really should. Here are other places to find her on the web:

This week's project: Kristin whipped up a fun crochet pattern for a shower scrub for CraftSanity listeners to try out. Download the pdf. Thanks Kristin!
