About the Show
From the Host of the wildly popular DIY & HGTV series, “Knitty Gritty”, and PBS’ “Knitting Daily with Vickie Howell” comes the very first studio quality, community-funded and internationally accessible, episodic how-to knitting & crochet series: “The Knit Show with Vickie Howell”.
This web-based series combines foolproof aspects from the former TV shows that YOU loved with elements that speak to today’s mindful and media savvy viewer, including:
- Industry experts and superstar guests;
- Knitting & crochet tips and techniques;
- Modern, totally make-able, high-quality projects in a range of levels for your downloading pleasure.
Along with a heaping dose of how-to content, each 30(ish) minute episode will also include: a segment focused on mental & physical health as pertains to knitting & crochet, or a fun glimpse into the shops, groups and lifestyles of our global craft community. We’ll also make it easy for you to be a part of that community through open communication via social media (follow us on Facebook & Instagram!) PLUS, you won’t have to worry about the financial burden of having cable, or the hassle of figuring out when your public television station is airing what you want to watch. This is an egalitarian, inclusive-to-all, knitting playground made for and with you!
The entire first season of The Knit Show with Vickie Howell will be available on The Knit Show website AND be distributed on YouTube at one time — on October 5, 2017. This means whether you’re in Austin Texas, or Melbourne, Australia you can binge watch the season whenever (and as often) as is convenient to you. Oh, and project info and patterns for each episode will be available on this site. Stay tuned!
Psst…tell a friend!

Over the next many years, she worked for production companies and major talent agencies before exiting stage left of Hollywood to stay at home with her kids. As part of the craft-revolution she unintentionally found her way back to entertainment, only this time in front of the camera as the youngest craft host on the DIY Network. Since then she’s produced thousands of hours of craft-based programming, all with the common goal of inspiring and empowering people to be creative.
