After earning her Apparel Design degree from Bassist College in Portland, OR, in 1998, Kristin chose to pursue a path in knitwear design with a focus on hand knitting. In addition to her work for knitting magazines and yarn companies, she is the author of four books: Knits From the Heart, Crochet From the Heart, and Blankets, Hats, and Booties (published by Martingale & Company); and The Knitting Man(ual) published by Ten Speed Press in 2007. Kristin is now focusing on developing her own line of patterns. When not knitting, Kristin volunteers at House of Dreams Cat Shelter, practices yoga and dance (samba, Afro-Cuban, and Afro-Brazilian), and African drumming. She also enjoys reading and cooking, and time spent doing nothing at all. |
