It has been a busy week of seeing new reviews of “80 Handmade Gifts: Year-Round Projects to Cook, Crochet, Knit, Sew & More”! Here are some of the highlights:
Donna Wolfe of Naztazia.com is a good friend and a proud supporter of my books and yarns. She is part of the Kristin Omdahl Yarns Family of Designers and has made lots of cute things with my yarns. This week, she made a video review of “80 Handmade Gifts” book along with a demo of the Grace Bracelet here:
Cylinda Mathews of CrochetMemories.com wrote a very detailed review of the book here: Review of “80 Handmade Gifts” book

And there have been several new reviews on Amazon:
A.R. wrote: “Was so excited when my book came!! The pictures are so crystal clear that my mouth was watering from the food pics!! I haven’t made anything from the book yet but I can already tell you that my favorite part is the large print!! So easy to read!! If I had to make a suggestion it would be that the book be ring bound so that it can be opened and laid flat while doing a project. Other than that, let the projects begin!!”
Another customer wrote: “I highly recommend this book. The photos are beautiful, the patterns are easy to follow, and the directions are super clear. As always, Kristin never disappoints! Thank you!”
S.C. wrote: “Love this book! Already used it several times for gifts! This will be my go to book for gift giving in the future as well! Thanks Kristin for creating such a beautiful book! Very easy to read, great font used. The page layouts make it easy to use.”

I would love to see your creations. Just as much fun as making these myself is the satisfaction I get from seeing my designs come to life and other crochet fans wearing them too. There are now 2 ways you can share what you have done!
- Share yours by joining Create. Share. Inspire on Facebook where you can interact with me as well as many other members who have a love of knitting and crochet just like you! It is a wonderful and safe place to share your photos of finished projects in my knitting or crochet patterns or yarns, and to see what others are making, too.
- I have recently added a wonderful new interactive section to the website which I invite you to take part in, it has been a smashing success and such fun so far. It is the new “Share Your Project” section. You, my creators, can upload images and descriptions of your creations to share with the ever growing community! To upload simply click here.
Additionally, I host a livestreaming podcast weekday on my YouTube Channel called Create Share Inspire Podcast. You can join the audience and even ask me questions LIVE! I often do a show and tell, or quick demo and I always interact with the live audience. It is a lot of fun!
