Kristin’s knitting adventure began on a study-abroad trip to Norway. She did not know how to knit but, inspired by all the beautiful sweaters, she bought patterns. Back home in Salt Lake, she was introduced to continental knitting and sweater design by Nancy Bush. Inspired by more trips — to Austria and another to Norway — and her Scandinavian heritage, she kept knitting and soon began designing and teaching. Now, hundreds of sweaters and students later, she has released The Nordic Knitting Primer.
Her passion continues to be Scandinavian knitting — all the techniques, especially stranded colorwork. Her goal is to foster independence and confidence in knitters. Most of all, she tells her students, even her beginners, “Knit something you love!”
