Gaye Glasspie
United States
Gaye Glasspie is a blogger, podcaster / YouTuber and entrepreneur who describes herself as "a 50 something year-old who fell in love with knitting late in life".
She taught herself to knit via a combination of online YouTube tutorials and in person visits to her local friendly yarn stores. But, coming at a particularly challenging time in her life she describes finding the craft as "her ride or die, her BFF, her kind of therapy".
More affectionately known as simply GG she's a global phenomenon and famously obsessed with all things orange. Her website GGmadeit is home to her blog musings and all types of merchandise: from We knit too mugs and Yarn Ho pins to Stand in the Gap tees and much more.
As someone who firmly believes that knitting has become a beautiful bridge into a world of wonderful people and a way to universally connect with others Gaye frequently uses her large social media platform to do just that; whether encouraging newbie crafters, hosting 'show and tells' for WIPs or challenging racial stereotypes.
She can be found across a number of online platforms including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and the GGmadeit website.
