Kristin Omdahl — Author • Maker • Storyteller

Kristin Omdahl is the bestselling author of over 20 knit and crochet books and the upcoming novel The Sea Glass Inheritance. Her work blends storytelling and creativity, offering readers and makers a chance to step into rich, sensory worlds — both on the page and through hands-on projects.

For more than 15 years, Kristin has inspired makers around the world through PBS’s Knit and Crochet Now!, Knitting Daily TV, her popular YouTube channel, and a library of hundreds of knit and crochet patterns. Now, she’s expanding her creative journey into fiction, pairing her novels with companion projects, immersive behind-the-scenes content, and community connection.

When she’s not writing or designing, Kristin can often be found exploring Southwest Florida’s beaches, experimenting with new recipes, or enjoying time with her rescue cat, Bjorn.

Her mission is simple: Create. Share. Inspire. Whether through a new stitch pattern, a heartfelt story, or a glimpse into her creative process, Kristin invites you to join her in making something beautiful.

Kristin brought her expertise to a national audience as a cast member of Knit & Crochet Now! on PBS and Create TV for four seasons (10–13) and as the crochet expert on Knitting Daily TV for 10 seasons. Across more than a decade of television, she has taught hundreds of techniques on camera, shared original designs, and inspired viewers nationwide — experience she’s ready to bring to future creative projects.
