April Showers have certainly brought May flowers!

In a festive flower celebration, I'm hosting a virtual

Lets share photos of what we make and creations to use our flowers on.  Email me your photos @ gkkcontests@gmail.com by May 14th (see challenge rule details) and I'll be drawing for a winner.  Winner(s) will receive PDF patterns and I might get to throw some yarn in the mix!

We'll upload them to our Flickr site to feel the love of all the flower power!

My first radio interview - FaveCrafts with Pat Sloan

Listen to internet radio with FaveCrafts on Blog Talk Radio

Today I interviewed with Pat Sloan of FaveCrafts Radio.  She had five guests on and I was number three. Pat’s FaveCrafts Radio is a once a month Live online radio broadcast and then an archived podcast online.  Pat Sloan has amazing craft designers, teachers, celebrities and fun people on the show as well as being a super fun & talented Quilter herself!  It was a pleasure and privilege to be on the show and I had a blast!  I sure hope Pat has me on again, she is so fun to talk to and I’m sure we could gab on and on.  Listen to the podcast interview above by pushing the icon to play (the right arrow classic “play” button).  You can click and drag the minute over to 22:00 minutes and hear the end of Michael Sellick, of The Crochet Crowd & The Crafting Crowd, right before.  He gives a shout out to me and updates everyone on some exciting news I found out TODAY!...or if you wanna get right to it go to minute 23:50.  Have fun!  Be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel and Facebook site to keep up on new videos coming up and a place to share your own crafts with the GoodKnit Kisses Krowd!  Happy Crafting & Looming!! -Kristen

AllFreeKnitting

Hi everyone!!
I have a few exciting announcements and TWO great tutorial videos are below:

I'm super pleased to announce I am now working along side of AllFreeKnitting.com to bring you the latest in Loom Knitting Tutorials on my YouTube Site and on AllFreeKnitting's site as well! A very big thanks to Mikey at mikeyssmail & The Crochet Crowd for hooking me up!

I am also happy to announce I have purchased my website but until I can get enough funding, through partnering with YouTube it will be delayed getting up and running.  WILL YOU HELP ME??? Please subscribe to my channel at goodknitkisses and pass the word to your friends.  You can opt to get an email every time I make a video or leave the box blank.  MY GOAL IS 800 SUBSCRIBERS!  Please help me get there :-)  For my videos to remain free, this will really go a long way. Thanks inadvance for your help.

My Publisher has approved of the following videos.  These are the first in the line and I have decided to start at the basics for beginners or traditional knitters who want to try their hand at learning.  Check out Part 1 for an introduction on looms and Part 2 for yarn selections and project ideas. Again, loom knitting is fun even for grade-schoolers.  SO grab a loom and get started today! Happy Looming!

DID THIS HELP YOU? Please comment below.  I'd love to hear from YOU!

Loosey Goosey or Lucy Loose?

Hello everyone! :-) 

It has been brought to my attention that 2 viewers feel that my use of a word has breached a copyright from Michael Sellick at The Crochet Crowd and mikeyssmail, by Mikey himself. Michael & I actually communicate with one another.  He totally understands me and I was not trying to copy him.  I actually have used the word for over 30 years. However since he has been on here longer his viewership is very loyal which I appreciate & understand.  I want to stress how fun I think loom knitting is & really want this to be another spot to find stitches or ideas for your progress and projects. Let the creativity flow! :-) Let's help one another & build each other up. 

Wanna know the "word"? I have been crafting since I was a kid and have ALWAYS said loosey goosey. When I heard that on his videos I laughed so hard because I say that!! Haha! It was like when I started learning I kept finding other videos at first; then I found Mikey.  I was thrilled! Here is a guy that GETS ME. I understand his language and approach. It's sad people stir up stuff like that but I understand.  Please hear me.  I'm here to educate and have fun.  I'm not here to rip someone off.  I love crafts and I love helping others. If you love that too you are in the right place.  If not accept my apologies if you were offended and let's move forward.  Have a great weekend and HAPPY LOOMING!! :-)

P.S. This is the last you'll see me speak on this.  I may refer people back to this blog but that's all.

How's Lucy Loose?  LOL...is she?  (oh no she didn't?!)
