Questioning a black woman - although the question didn’t involve skin colour - is now a big faux pas in the knitting world. But word got out fast that she had overstepped the mark. Glass asked the question on her own “stories”, a function that lets users post temporary photos and comments, so her original comments have now disappeared. This someone was “knitfluencer” Kristy Glass of Kristy Glass Knits, an American knitter known for her interviews with people in the knitting community.įor this question, Glass was cancelled and has all but disappeared off social media, deleting her YouTube channel and setting her Instagram account to private and taking down her website. So, naturally, someone asked where her knitting was. There are no photos of her knitting in the magazine. In her video, she chats light-heartedly with 14-year-old Shayna Rose, but she’s not wearing any of her knitted garments or showing them off here either. On the cover of Vogue Knitting, Obama is wearing a black sweater, but it’s not a knitted one. And when someone asked why, it spelled the end of their career. But so far, nobody has seen the evidence of her new-found hobby. Did you know that Michelle Obama took up knitting during lockdown and has knitted several halter tops for her girls? Neither did I, before Vogue Knitting displayed the former first lady on the front cover of the Winter 2021/2022 issue and shared a short interview with her on its website.
