Hi everyone,

My name is Kristin Omdahl and I live in the Detroit Metropolitan area of Michigan. I work as a knit and crochet designer and run my own website: StyledByKristin.com

Who else is from my area? Are there any crochet groups in the area?

I'd love to hear from you!

Best regards,

Kristin

Hi Kristin! I'm also in the Metro area!

I know that there are a couple of stitching groups around. There is the Michigan Crafters that get together once a month. The advertise the meetings on the Michigan Crocheters Yahoo group. The yahoo group sometimes has crochet gatherings in Ann Arbor, but they haven't done it since last winter. Then there is a little group of ladies (knit and crochet) that get together from Neighborhood Knits at a little cafe in Dearborn once a week, I think on Monday evenings, but I don't remember exactly right now.

I would love to see some more crochet get-togethers in the area though.

I'm glad to see another Michigander here!

Jennifer

Hi Kristen,

I've just been to your website. What a lot of yummie patterns!

eta - I had to get there through your profile. For some reason the link in your post won't work for me.

Hi Jennifer,

Thank you! I just heard of Neighborhood Knits today. I think I will check out the Michigan Crocheters Yahoo Group. Thanks so much!

Best regards,

Hello!!!

The knitting/crochet group mentioned previously actually meets on Tuesday night in Dearborn at Caribou Coffee on Michigan Ave. Most members arrive at 5pm or 6pm. Some a litle earlier, some later. We are a pretty active group. The same group meets at other locations throughout the area, including Ferndale, I believe. For more info, visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/detroitareaknitters/. Crocheters are welcome.

Hi, Kristin. Does born in Bay City count? I haven't lived in Michigan, though, since before my first birthday - unless you count summers at Grandma's.

I've got to check out your site; thanks!

I'm in the Detroit Metro area too! I pass Neighborhood Knits on my way to work and I've always wanted to stop in, but haven't made it there yet.

Anyway, if there's any crochet groups in the Novi area, I'd be interested.

By the way, Kristin - you sort of look like Jackie Page from Fox2! Nice website and congrats to you. :)
