My guest today, Kristy Glass, started her career in NYC on the stage and screen and then came to knitting after convalescing from some health issues.  From there, she started Kristy Glass Knits and has grown it to meteoric new levels. Today, she boasts 26K Instagram followers and 24K subscribers on her youtube channel. She also has a robust Patreon account where she offers premium video content. Today we’re going to talk about some of the steps Kristy took along the way to arrive at this place so quickly.

Knitwear designer Bristol Ivy is proof that believing in yourself is the first step to success. She sits down with Kristy Glass, sharing why she never doubted herself, New Zealand’s influence on her, and why she does whatever she wants now.

Every expert was once a beginner. Bag designer and educator Ellie Lum reminiscences on her not-so-pretty first attempts with Kristy Glass. She also explains why teaching adults is hard, and why you should make things more than once.

Sometimes expectations can hold you back. Embroidery artist Jessica Long talks with Kristy Glass about how letting go helped free her creative flow, her past life as a scientist, and the benefits of being vulnerable.

Graffiti artist Allison Tinati (aka Hueman) was discovered when she was in high school. She chats with Kristy Glass about her humble beginnings and how she manages her demanding schedule as one of the genre’s most sought-after artists.

Who knew you needed math to design a room? Interior designer Jo Gick chats with Kristy Glass about using math in design, when she says “no” to potential clients, and why creating something she dreamed up still excites her.

When it comes to your passion, you've got to start somewhere. Food photographer Brooke Lark chats with Kristy Glass about how she started a blog (without knowing what to put on it) — and how she deals with the "imposter syndrome."

What inspires a famous cartoonist and illustrator? Jon Chad talks with Kristy Glass about a few of his influences, including Godzilla, Power Rangers, and artist Julie Chen.

What does it mean to be creative on your own terms? Katie Dalebout catches up with Kristy Glass about just that — as well as her life-changing health scare and beginnings as a performer.

Today on the show I have Kristy Glass. Kristy does a lot, she is best known as a youtuber with a focus on yarn and knitting but she does many things far beyond this – my favorite being the baby wrangler, who knew that was a job. I also think you’ll enjoy hearing about the wonderful yes attitude her parents embraced and raised her with as a child.    Show notes:https://knitcollage.com/blogs/podcast/41
