Josh Ryks-Robinsky is the designer behind Rebel Pup Knits designs. He is a color-obsessed knitter and designer from Minnesota. As a self-taught knitter, Josh has been altering patterns and challenging himself to learn since the moment a pair of sticks and string were put in his hands.

After learning the basic knit, purl, increases, and decreases, Josh decided to jump right on and explore all the knitting world had to offer! He loves short rows, color, lines, squishy garter stitch, and graphic PUNCH - and he’ll always have at least one shawl in his project bag! Geometric lines and graphic color combos are two of his favorite things!

He lives with his amazing husband near DC and their adorably cute su-purr-visor, Kiwi.
