Shawls for Sharing – the NEW Project Kristin Cares Initiative

Proudly announcing Project Kristin Cares: Kristin Omdahl is committed to helping fellow survivors of domestic violence and shedding light on this frightening and often hidden crime in our society. In an attempt to achieve these goals and help eradicate domestic violence, Kristin donates through the fund she established: Project Kristin Cares.

Together we can help survivors of domestic violence.

The funds raised by the sale of the Project Kristin Cares Shawls for Sharing Patterns will be donated to the National Network to End Domestic Violence. You can help raise awareness, and end domestic violence, by purchasing these special patterns, donating directly, and/or participating in our KAL and CAL events, and then donating your Shawls to the location of your choosing. Together we can help survivors of domestic violence.

Each quarter I will release a dedicated knit or crochet shawl pattern. 100% of the proceeds of each pattern will be donated to help survivors of domestic violence during it’s featured quarter. Starting July 1, 2022 the Easy Breezy Crochet Shawl pattern will be the pattern focused on for the 3rd quarter of 2022.

Special thanks to Lion Brand Yarn for sponsoring the grand prize of this quarter’s giveaways! Enter daily for many prizes HERE. [giveaway_popup id=20596]

Winners will be randomly chosen on October 1, 2022.

Special thanks to our sponsor, I Like Crochet. Join the all-access I Like Crochet Gold Club for only $5, and receive their digital magazine with exclusive patterns, hand-picked pattern collections, and instant access to 50+ previously published issues in the pattern library.

The Easy Breezy Crochet Shawl Pattern is a relaxing zen project with a one-row repeat. And the edging will work on any row, so you can make this project at large or small as you want.

I will feature one yarn company for each Shawls for Sharing pattern and quarterly CAL and KAL. The Easy Breezy Crochet Shawl Pattern featured for 3rd quarter 2022 is Lion Brand Yarns. I will show the shawl in a variety of yarns and yarn weights and the yarns I will be using can be found in my Amazon Shop.

Join me every Tuesday on the Kristin Omdahl Show for a live CAL from July through September 2022. I will share how the shawl works up in different weight yarns, talk about how to modify the pattern with color, beads or other embellishments. And I will be available to answer any questions you might have about the pattern, ways to donate, or other ways we can give back to our community. I believe that dedicating one day a week to discuss charity, giving back, paying it forward and other ways to be kind will be beneficial to all of us, and gain positive momentum in our lives and our communities.

And if you would like, you can continue the conversation about charity and giving back in the KO Community Forums, too. It is 100% private and only available when you are logged into your account.

How else can you help?  Lots of ways!  First of all, share the information, share this website – spread the word about Project Kristin Cares, and help to shed light on domestic violence and how we are helping.  Donate your time to teach a skill at your local shelter. Gather supplies that your local shelters need. Donate items to silent auctions to raise money.

And please, if you, or someone you know is a victim of domestic violence, don’t be afraid to ask for help! Life CAN be better, and please remember that love doesn’t hurt!
