Hi everyone! Thank you so very much for all of your support and concern the last couple of weeks. As you may already know, I had emergency surgery on New Year’s Eve and have been at home recovering with many restrictions since.
Thanks to my amazing team of friends and family, my business has not been affected by this. My restrictions have been very limiting yet thanks to Judi Weingarden, my good friend and Director of Customer Relations, Marlon Omdahl, my son and right-hand-man, and my mom, customer service, shipping, and new product releases have been practically seamless!
Shipping And Product Updates:
As many of you can attest, shipping has not skipped a beat and all orders are up-to-date. Marlon and my mom have been delivering your packages to the post office daily. I have been able to create new, beautiful hand dyed colors of many yarns with all of the heavy lifting done by Marlon. And all phone inquiries and emails have been promptly answered by Judi.
“52 Crochet Gifts Book” is up-to-date and running smoothly as well. Week 11 of the pre-order ebook was released on time this week and you can learn all about it and the new patterns HERE.
29 of the 52 patterns have been released so far, and each pattern is also available as a single PDF pattern download as well, should you prefer to order a la carte.
Many of the released patterns also have video tutorials, and I will be continuing to release video tutorials for all the patterns when I get back Into the studio. You can see the existing videos in this 52 Crochet Gifts Book Video Playlist HERE:
Video and Podcast Update:
Unfortunately, all on-camera duties are solely my responsibility and therefore lacking. I have yet to have the strength or energy to be back to the studio making video tutorials, or on location making podcasts at the beach. But the good new is, thanks to the support of my family, friends and all of you, I am getting better day by day and am happy to announce that I have the next podcast scheduled for Friday, January 17, 2020 at 9:00am. You can expect to see new videos tutorials shortly after that! In the meantime, please continue to create, share and inspire today and every day.
xoxo, Kristin

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!
You can browse through close to 1000 previously recorded episodes HERE: Create Share Inspire Podcast Playlist . Make sure to subscribe to my YouTube Channel to get reminders when the next episode airs LIVE.
I look forward to seeing what you create!
