Kristen Stoltzfus-Clay

Heavily influenced by her love for vintage and retro designs, Kristen Stoltzfus-Clay began freelance crochet designing in 2010 at age 19, after years of adapting or making up patterns for her own needs. “My first sold design was a thread jewelry design, and I’ve never lost that love,” she said. Kristen is recently married and starting a family with her husband on his five-generation ranch in rural Idaho. “I’m blessed to be living my dream every day,” she said. “I also am deeply interested in vintage fashion and sewing, enjoy cooking from scratch and other old-fashioned ways of life, antiquing, old movies and music, history, writing, exploring Idaho, and watching the beautiful hills change color every evening.”
