My name is Kristin van den Driesen. I have always been
into one craft or another since I was young. Whether it was making
necklaces, painting, crochetting or knitting (which is two of my favorite
things to do). My grandmother and her craftiness of quilting, sewing,
crochetting and knitting me always had me asking questions about what she was
doing and how. Her talent has always inspired me. Over the years my
grandmother has helped me with the quality of my crafting. Soon, my friends would see my knitted items that I was
wearing and say, "oh, I love that, can you make me one". I then became
very busy making things for my friends, and then following, their friends would ask for one and that became my small,
casual, word of mouth business. It then continued and became that friends
of friends would be requesting a knitted cowl, or crochetted baby toque and I
then gave my business a name, K VD Creations and became active on facebook.
I love what I do, I
love creating. I have never been the cookie cutter type and I design all
my own items, I have never used a pattern, I make up my own. I have a
passion for showing your individuality through what you wear and I am so honored when someone
requests I make them one of my quarky chunky chains and then later I see them
wearing it down Broadway in Saskatoon and it makes me smile.
I often get bugged
for what I do but I say, GO AHEAD, call me an old lady, I think crochetting is
cool!!!
