Episode 361 - Holli Yeoh & La Belle Époque

We've got a gorgeous new collection of five patterns out today, all designed by the talented Holli Yeoh, so we had to have her on the podcast to talk about it! After Lee and Stacey share what they've been up to lately, Holli joins them to share about her history as a designer and the process of creating the patterns of La Belle Époque.
Lee and Stacey also discuss with Holli her approach to size inclusion and a bit about her writing style and the editing process. If you love hearing about the behind-the-scenes work that goes into creating thoroughly helpful knitting patterns that fit great, this is the episode for you! Deep Winter Coat pattern
