We need to talk about paying a ambassadors a livable wage in the sewing, knitting, crochet, and craft industries.

I’m interested in your thoughts. Have you had influencer experiences with the expectation of working for free or at a low-barter rate? Or, have you seen positive examples of Ambassador programs that might act as a good starting point reference?

We’re crafty — let’s work together to do better. 💗

Shout out to CYC’s Director, Jenny Bessonette, the Yarn Standards Update Committee, and Quarto Art Director Sue Boylan for making this happen after news of JOANN going out of business (which was the most accessible way to access Giant Tube yarns) and by the time No Needles Knitting was published. ✊🏼🧶⁣

Did you know that U.S. government subsidies like SNAP (formerly known as food stamps) don’t cover toiletries, like soap? 🧼 Neither did I until Stacy Wiener, the founder of the 501(3)(c) charity, S.A.C.K. reached out to me.

Join me and my Stitchwell Social Club community to do our part to help unserved humans not to have to choose between nourishment and cleanliness.

Knit or crochet soap sacks to act as heartfelt vessels for “wrapped” soap bars. Donate them to your local shelter, food pantry, or other aid organization, or send them to S.A.C.K. and Stacy will make sure they get distributed.

To get more information about S.A.C.K., go to the link in the bio.

To download the two, free soap sack patterns I designed, go to their site, my blog (link in my bio), or (if you’re a member) StichwellSocialClub.com.

Let’s make it a soap sack summer! 💪

(Psst…we’d love it if you tagged us to let us know when you make them and, if applicable, where you’ll be donating them.)
