Kristin Omdahl has really BIG new projects to share on the Yarn Thing podcast with Marly Bird today so LET’S GET IT STARTED!
Kristin has been studying skin care products for herself and friends for many years. 
Recently, she began to offer it to the public, GLOW Body Products, through study and trial, pursuing all-natural, aroma therapy, and anti-aging of the highest qualities. Her natural face cream is an proprietary blend of essential oils that has become beloved by so many, and users are demanding that she never stop creating it! The line includes bath salts (her teenaged athlete loves), sugar scrubs, balms, bar soaps, cleansers and toners.
Getting a little personal, Kristin, as a public figure, realizes as a victim and survivor of domestic violence, says ‘If you can find a way to help other people, you can find a purpose for your pain and suffering.‘ She’s been trying to find a way to help and give back to victims not as strong or without the resources she’s had. While not everyone is a knitter or crocheter, they do need body care products. She found that a percentage of her sales can be donated to make a difference. Thus, Project Kristin Cares was begun, so that those who find themselves finally out of the dangerous situations can receive quality products rather than the cheapest and not necessarily the most beneficial.
We can follow Kristin Omdahl at her website, www.KristinOmdahl.com, where she has a blog, and links to shop her products, she has a Ravelry Designer page, Facebook page, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and a YouTube channel. Here also are the links to earlier visits to the Yarn Thing podcast: just in March with her new book, Continuous Crochet, in Feb. 2015 as a podcast sponsor, July 2014 with Bamboo So Fine, 2013 more new projects, Introducing Wrapture in 2012, May 2012, Feb 2012, March 2011, Dec 2010, March 2009. Not sure if you can tell, we love Kristin on the Yarn Thing podcast!
NOTE: UNTIL MONDAY May 16th, there is a special for Marly fans, Buy 1 skein of yarn, get the 2nd Free with code MARLYBOGO (just remember to put two skeins in the shopping cart before applying the code.) This is a great opportunity to try Kristin’s wonderful, silky, drapey bamboo yarn, especially if you never have before or if you have and want to do that again!

Wow! I’ve seen her on TV but never realized she has so multitalented. I love her Kristin Cares project. I’ve done knitting and crochet donations for the woman’s shelter here in Sacramento and they are so desperate for things to treat themselves. Glow products sound like just the treat they need for a pick me up.!
This was a great podcast. Had me in tears a few times. I placed an order for yarn and the Glow face cream. I can’t wait to try both. I love that people will be helped by my purchases. Thank You!!!
I enjoyed watching Kristin Omdahl when she was on Knitting Daily. She is so creative and multi-talented and a wonderful teacher. Today’s episode was heartbreaking, but I felt so happy for Kristin that she was strong enough to triumph over the abuse in her past. I look forward to trying some of the Glow products she has created.
What a wonderful way to help abuse victims. The Glow products sound wonderful!
Thank you for all you do to help others. Can’t wait to try the Glow products.
I am crocheting a pattern from Crochet so lovely, while listening to Yarn Thing the glow I am feeling is wonderful.
I’m so grateful to have learned about Project Kristin Cares. This is a topic that deserves more attention, and Kristin’s response and life journey are incredibly inspiring. In many ways, I think “glow” is just the perfect concept for this interview. Kristin’s light shines bright.
Amazing. I need to read more about the Glow Products.
Kristen’s GLOW Body Products look wonderful and the fact that every purchase helps others is so meaningful. I will definitely be taking advantage of the discount so I can finally try her yarn.
Thank you ladies, and Mikey too, for a wonderful podcast. It was probably the most diverse interview I have listened to. I was glowing from the good energy, laughs.
Wow, I am amazed and in awe of Kristin’s talents. I can’t wait to try her Glow line of facial products. And that Kristin gives back to help abused women is extra special. I love the conversation concerning “God Bless’ but honestly – how appropriate. Thanks Marly for letting us know about her new adventure.
Kristin’s story is so inspiring it makes my heart glow. I hope people in abusive relationships draw strength and courage from her example. I don’t spend a lot on body products, but I’m going to try some of her new line. They sound great and support an important cause.
Very interesting podcast learning that Kristin Omdahl is making Glow body products. She is really doing a great thing helping people in abusive relationships. Kudos to her!
I have heard Kristin on your podcast several times before, and she continues to amaze with all the projects she is working on! I will definitely be checking out her Glow product line. I love to support small businesses that give back.
Glow is a great word to describe the effect that Kristin’s enthusiasm has upon people. I’m eager to watch how successful the new products are.
Very inspiring interview. I will definitely be purchasing some of Kristin’s GLOW body products and thank you for the very generous coupon code!
Loved hearing about your new Glow body products. I will definitely check them out. I try to use all natural as often as possible.
The Glow products sound amazing! And Kristin’s new initiative is so great!
What a wonderful show. Thanks for giving us the latest scoop on Kristin Omdahl. She sure is some lady! Besides her fiber talent, I love what she is doing to make the world a better place. I’m anxious to try her Glow products, knowing that it’s also helping other women who are in shelters .

You were all pretty special on this podcast…Kristin, Marly, Mikey and Tammy…you all put a “Glow” on my face and a song in my heart xo

Wow, I’ve followed Kristin for a while on Facebook but since I don’t crochet much I hadn’t checked out her work. I am impressed by her and her outreach to sufferers of domestic violence. I’d love to try her Glow products and will likely order soon.
