Kristy Glass Knits: Brooklyn Boy Knits

[@KatoYarnCompany]

My Grandmother was a crocheter like his. So many beautiful afghans. Love and miss her every day. I love your story! Congratulations on your many successes!

[@yvettescheiman4991]

What a fantastic interview! Kristy is part knitter, part therapist. She can make anyone talk about anything! And I LOVE Brookly Boy! I grew up in Brooklyn ( spent most of my youth on Bay 44th and Cropsey Ave. from the late 70's to the 90's). I feel so at home with this guy. I'm also Latina and had a grandmother who crocheted. My grandmother, like his, made doilies, tablecloths, fabric stiffened birds, teacups and saucers. My mom was more into embroidery and sewing. My first exposure to him was the viral photo of him knitting on the train and I was fascinated to see such a rugged looking Brooklyn man knitting! Or even just a MAN. I'd never seen that before. Now I seek them out on KZbin because it's still such an anomaly that I'm still fascinated. There is even a pair of women that take knitting into the prisons and the men LOVE it! It's all about social norms and expectations. I bet that if most of the men that disdain this craft try it just once, they'll at least see that it's not as easy as they think it is and is very mentally engaging. Thanks Kristy for highlighting this wonderful, caring man and presenting him to an even larger community!

Louis is real mensch! His story and the amazing impact he is having on youth is awesome. Thanks, Kristy for bringing this to us!

[@susiemurray5952]

Thank you Kristy for a wonderful interview with BBK! Louis’ love & passion for knitting and giving back to the community is so heartfelt. I love his enthusiasm for teaching and expressing his passion and for stepping out of the box to say it’s okay to be a guy who knits and I’m blessed and proud of it! Louis, you are an inspiration, keep up the fantastic work.

[@nicolefields5917]

This man rocks! Love his attitude, outlook, and heart. Brooklyn Boy Knits is a true craftivist!

[@shinghsieh3329]

My favorite interview ever!! I'm so impressed by Louis' ability to pour forth so much positive energy and love for this community and the rest of the wider world. Thank you Louis and thank you Kristy for everything you bring to us!

[@lizurquhart4105]

I have heard the name Brooklynboyknits and thought it was a yarn shop. This is such an awesome story. Kristy once again. Thank You for your time and effort that you bring to these great and informative interviews. I just love them. Thank you.

[@sharonkeller7573]

Just the best interview Kristy! Thanks for bringing Louis to all of us. He is a terrific human. Thanks to both of you for making the world a little better every day.

[@rosemarygriffith26]

Great interview and interviewee! Wonderful work Mr. BBK and excellent questions, Kristy. Thank you to you both for the positive vibes you put out into the universe.💕

[@amyeichenseer7692]

I’m late to this party, but.....Unbelievable! What an amazing story! You deserve all the kudos Louis.

[@beardcub1754]

Loved this interview! Been waiting for Louis' interview with you since I first stumbled onto Manch. As a dude who knits, it is so inspiring to hear his story and follow everything he's done since that photo. Thank you, Kristy! Had to have that pin, too!

[@gnat127]

Such a great interview. My hubs overheard it and said “man, that guy GETS it!” He was trying to get me to find my thing for years, telling me how much it would enrich my life. Nothing stuck in a big way until I found knitting and boy was he right. We are so blessed to have a passion and the community around it.

[@ReneeFrance1]

I enjoyed your interview and I too was raised in the East and was very unique hanging on the corner by Gersh or on the handball court with my cross body bag filled with yarn...Keep up the greatness!

[@lisacoleman5334]

Love this interview! Louis you are doing amazing things and I am inspired by your passion for knitting and also love how you are paying it forward by teaching children to knit and as well as bringing awareness to Bullying( so many kids suffer in silence)! This is so amazing! I love your story about how it all began. I know that your grandmother must be so proud of you, as well as the rest of your family. Your Knit Studio is adorable and very well organized. Love it. Sheep earrings are too cute. Anyway, I could go on and on, but right now I am headed to your website to look at your latest designs. Thanks Kristy for sharing and bringing great interviews to knit folks and crochet folks , where ever we may live.

[@miriammiller5829]

Fabulous , inspirational interview🙏🏻 Go Lion Brand, still a family owned business...love it❤️

[@Redhead_Knitting]

I know so many men who know how to knit, but are ‘embarrassed’ to do so. Thanks for being you!

[@mariannehobart5537]

Love your energy Louis! Didn't even make it to the end of the video before popping over to your website for a skein of that beautiful yarn to help support you and your mission.Can't wait to see what is next on your life's journey!

[@katelow5390]

Louis is just an absolute joy!

[@MsLindaE1]

So proud of you Louis, keep up the great work. Would have loved to meet you when I lived in The Bronx although I didn't knit so much then just learning at the time. Yeah for Brooklyn boy knits.

[@katserpaful]

[@tonizegarra2179]

This is awesome thank you for sharing Louis knitting life

[@joeyune]

I met Louis in the fall/winter of 2017 by accident when I was at my LYS dropping off yarn and he happen to be shopping. This was before he blew up as Brooklynboyknits and I hadn’t made the connection until probably almost a year later. He’s been a huge support of me and has extend his hand in the gift that was given to him. Hands down one of the most real people in the community that is male I have met so far. So much love for this guy.

[@tezalizard]

Loved everything about this interview! Thank you Louis for everything this collaboration has brought to me, especially being introduced to such amazing fibre family members like Kristy!!!

[@sistazknitmore]

I absolutely love this interview. You are so humble and that’s why I 💙 you Brooklyn Boy Knits. Keep making a difference! Thanks Kristy for sharing his fiber story.

[@berdettewymer1705]

I appreciate that you guys talked about having conversations with children. Helping children to make decisions though 2 way conversation develops critical thinking skills that they can use their ENTIRE LIVES! Even when children make decisions we adults disagree with, its our jobs to help them figure out whey the decision they made led to the negative outcome. Totally not knitting related, but such an important subject.

[@annkathy257]

This interview was awesome and more than worthy of my time. So uplifting and inspiring! Thank you, thank you! :-)

[@jeaninegunn4118]

Knitting started in Egypt-people of colour, then went to the Middle East-more people of colour. People of colour started knitting first & men knit before women...good for you Louis! :-D
