This week Kathy talks with Andrea Rangel about her new book, Rugged Knits.
Andrea learned to knit as a child, but didn’t really make it part of her life until college and had her first pattern published in Knitty in 2009. This book has been in process since it’s proposal in 2014, and the yarn choices as well as the functionality of the patterns was super important to Andrea. Listen in to learn how function, beautiful details and yarn choices came together in these 24 designs.
