The LGBTQ community is so diverse, inspirational, joyful and colorful, and @nikkoduke has the knitwear to prove it! Duke joined Project manager Amanda Davis, a fellow knitter and alumna of @clubcummings Knit @ Night, to chat about knitting and craft as expression, a vehicle to finding community, a tool for activism (go follow @hat_not_hate), and more. And what a treat: Duke shared with us a sneak peek of a number of recently-completed works! Neck cowls, headbands and warmers to represent the various colors and identities of the LGBTQ+ community! Don't hesitate to reach out to Duke @nikkoduke for tips or to access his patterns (these knitters love to share!). Thank you so much, Amanda and Duke, for sharing with us all how your passion for knitting intersects with your love of history. #nyclgbtsites
