Posted project update #6We are shipping ALL rewards this week!
Post CommentThe time has come for us to pack up and ship out all of the rewards from our wildly successful Kickstarter campaign. Thanks to you all we were not only able to create a limited edition collection of hats (our first from Peru!), but you also helped serve as a catalyst to our blossoming new program in South America. We can't wait to update you on the impact this program continues to have on the community we're working in.
Thanks also for your patience. We had hoped to get them out earlier than our estimated delivery date of November 2011, but we are instead just meeting the goal we had set for ourselves and for you. We can't wait to get these hats in your hands.
A few more things for certain pledgers:
We have released the majority of our personal thank you videos for pledge level 5 (we'll be uploading the rest this week and emailing each of you). View those videos here: http://www.krochetkids.org/2011/we-are-thankful/
Here is a picture of the exclusive screen-printed tote bag for you level 4 backers (below).
Happy Holidays to you all!

Posted project update #5Kickstarter Hats in Final Production!
The limited-edition Kickstarter hats are being finished and ready to ship! They will land back here at KKi HQ in California, we'll pack them up and send them on their way around the world to you all! We'll keep you posted when they ship.
Thanks again for your support throughout the process. The ladies we are working with in Peru are signing each hat they make and building the confidence and skills to rewrite their futures.

Posted project update #4Hats to ship in November!
Post CommentHi Everyone!
We wanted to update you on the progress of the limited-edition Kickstarter hats. First of all, congratulations to those of you who pledged while the project was still open. You will be receiving a one-of-kind product (or products :) ). For those of you trying to pledge to Kickstarter still, it's unfortunately not an option. There will be more opportunities to purchase hats from Peru, so stay tuned.
We are working hard at Krochet Kids Peru to train on hat-making, while at the same time welcoming our first beneficiaries into the diverse aspects and benefits of our programs. Due to the overwhelming demand of your support we have brought our initial beneficiary group in Peru from 5 to 10 women! Training is taking slightly longer than expected but we are planning to ship hats in November as set out in the "estimated delivery" of the project. It's looking like it will be the latter part of November, but we'll keep you posted as to the exact date.
We'll be launching a more generic style on our website in November as well, so keep an eye out for it... http://krochetkids.org
Thanks!

commented on a projectYes everyone, it is too late to pledge to this project, and the featured hats will not be for sale elsewhere. However, there will be opportunities to purchase other hats from Peru in the month ahead! Stay tuned...

Posted project update #2Tell us what hat color you want!
Hi Friends!
Wow. We are so excited to see the continued support for this project. What a way to start our new project in Peru!!!
A couple things we want you to be aware of: 1) in an effort to get your hats to you in a timely manner, we want to get an initial understanding of what hat color you would like to receive once the project is funded. If you haven't done so already, could you please send as a message via Kickstarter telling us which of the 3 hat styles you would like (black, brown, or grey).
2) We have been asked about shipping costs for pledges. Shipping within the US is included in the pledge amounts, so you don't need to add additional $$ for shipping. If you are wanting us to ship anything to a country outside of the US you will need to add an additional $20 to your pledge amount. You are able to adjust your pledge until this Friday to ensure you have the proper amount to receive your new products.
3) We will be collecting all your details for shipping, etc. when the project is closed this Friday. For now, just send us which hat color you'd like and we'll get the rest of your info the end of this week.
Lastly, check out this photo of the ladies in Peru with the first hats they made from training. You all are helping to create an amazing cycle for empowerment for these ladies!
Thanks!

commented on a project@Michael and @Mackenzie... you only need to pledge an additional $20 if you need us to ship any items internationally (that is, outside of the US). I hope that clears it up! Thanks for your pledges!
