Inez CARDIGAN is named after my great-grandmother. My memories of her are associated with magical times when I was a child visiting her in the coastal town of Santa Cruz, California where the beach and the redwoods share space and the quirkiness and culture of the town mesmerized me as a child. On the west coast, having a fashionable handknit that can keep you both warm in the ocean breeze and have you stand out on the promenade is essential!
