Kristy Glass Knits: MANCH: Franklin Habit

[@sunnyw4148]

Franklin is a wonderful teacher. he is calm, well researched, adn presents the info in a light manner. His history of lace class rocks with exquisite historic samples that he passes around and you get to feel, see up close, and photo. Lovely person too.

Love this interview! Franklin is a fabulous teacher. He's very patient and takes an interest in what his students do in class. He makes sure that everyone is happy and gets what he is teaching in his class. Looking forward to taking more classes with him.

Fantastic interview! It is wonderful to learn more about Franklin and all he does. Super!

[@hipknitta]

This was one of the best Manch interviews! I saw Franklin at VKLive this past January and I just said hi, gushed a bit, and he was so nice! Thank you for a great vlog!

[@megancampbell7711]

I love Franklin. I met him almost 11 years ago at TNA in Columbus OH. and Kristy you are adorable

[@kathiewoodworth4432]

Loved this interview! I wish I knew more about Franklin when I was introdeced to him in Chicago! Following him now - 💜

[@janetjroberson2581]

Wonderful interview I am glad you did this one.

[@amymikelson3060]

Great interview. I had heard of Franklin, but didn't really know much about him. Thanks for the intro.

[@patwagner9308]

What a fun, cute, funny interview ! I think I've reached the crotchety age, too! I warned people when I was young that I was going to get that way !

[@KathyReedKnits]

I love this interview! It somewhat takes the sting out of not getting to take his class at the 2020 Maryland Sheep and Wool.Somewhat. And I am absolutely the student who wasn’t particular about the subject of the class. Can’t even remember what I signed up for! Looking forward to receiving my own Dolores kit soon. Certainly she’ll have some fantastic tidbits for me. 😍

[@susanmcbride4703]

Being curious is my favorite trait in myself and others!

[@lesleynemser1544]

What a great interview. We want more!

[@Natalie-by4xm]

Tell them you’re a Knitting Influencer, Kristy. The teens will get that.

[@greenpurl8482]

Franklin! I've tried to take your pet sweater class 3 times and it's either been cancelled or sold out each time! I want to knit sweaters for the dogs I take care of at an animal rescue in Chicago. Love you!

[@emilythequeen1]

I love this so much!!!

I just discovered Franklin earlier this year and love him already. This came up because I was looking for more about him and you delivered nicely. Thank you. Normally I wouldn't comment on such an old video but just watch and like it - which of course I did and then I subscribed because of the way you spoke about variety in projects. However, you left me with an unanswered question - is there a pattern for the cardigan you're wearing? Should I hunt on Ravelry? (I already searched your IG feed back a couple of years and had no luck.) Help please?

[@kristyglassknits]

Hi Liz! My sweater is from loopy mango pattern- I believe it’s called Rhinebeck sweater/cardigan. The yarn is camarose

[@marilynlongcoy9914]

Took a steering class at VKL I Columbus. He is an excellent teacher and a very nice man.

[@cruzianfibergeek]

Grandma may knit but when she started she was a young woman who knits, so there.

[@juliettepecautdesigns]

I LOVE franklin. I think he was one of the first knitters I started following on blogs and instagram.

[@lafrileuse4459]

I love Franklin!!!!! 🥰

[@elizabethdelong6431]

I adore Franklin Habit❤️

[@cmaur811]

Best interview - met him at VKL a few times. Always a delight.He should be a professor at Harvard,

[@knitty781]

As I told my kids, I can drive any tractor on the farm but choose not to. My dad helped me with my knitting when I was young because he DID learn in the Army Corp of Engineers. I also taught several members of our high school football team when they were at my house. My grandson is learning now at 6.

[@kat1984]

Pitbulls were known as nanny dogs for a reason, I love them. I want to check out the dog sweater class, I have a Boston terrier that doesn't fit a lot of store bought sweaters and can't handle things going over her head as she's lost her vision (14 y/o).

Dollhouse owners unite 🏠 Although mine is more on the creepy/ haunted side. 👻

[@kathleenkurke1455]

Kristi, your sweater?

[@kristyglassknits]

I think it’s called the rhinebeck cardigan. It’s by loopy mango and I didn’t use their yarn and they sell it as a kit- yarn & pattern so I haven’t done an FO video about it because I didn’t want to disappoint people. But there is a similar pattern on rav that is stand alone... lmk if you want to know what it is I can go find it.

[@louiselogan6816]

What a delight!

[@SuperPeppermint2]

I bought the pattern today; I don't quite understand it. Great pattern and clothing.

[@nancysteiner8814]

So fun!

[@charlesclarkii1549]

Most everyone in my world knows I knit but when they ask what I want to do when I retire I say, “Open a yarn shop.” And invariably they say, “A what?” “Yarn.... you know, what I knit with?” “Oh really....” They never believe me or think it’s a viable option.

[@sharylhardiman908]

Fantastic Interview. Hope he continues teaching and that I can take a class from Franklin at Stitches West in 2022 Kristy - what is the sweater you are wearing - looks fantastic and the color is great on you.

[@tineditmarunnerup9513]

I recognized the part about wanting to be in Franklin's class just because Franklin taught it. I travelled nine timezones some years ago - just for that reason. It was worth every cent I spent on that trip. (Alaska was nice too)

[@rebeccastromgren8326]

^^^^THIS^^^^

[@janetjroberson2581]

I always thought that men were the first knitters.

[@barbarajohnson1572]

OMG... I wrote the below comment BEFORE this part of the video... (granmmaw's knitting)

I have my Granddaughter's doll house only because my daughter wanted to throw it away and I won't let her.
