Review by Felicia
"Patty is a fantastic teacher. She explains everything VERY clearly and never takes anything for granted. She makes you understand the how's and the why's
of what she is teaching, so that you can really get the 'full picture'. In addition to that, she has a great sense of humor and explains things in such a way that you never ever get bored. I have purchased several online classes and workshops taught by Patty (on Craftsy, Annie's and Interweave) and I have never regretted it! When I see something is taught by Patty Lyons I know it's going to be good! I live in Italy so I've never got to take live classes with her but I hope it's going to be possible sometime soon!"

"We've had Dawn teach a variety of classes at the Simsbury Public Library (CT). Our most popular is the arm knitting class we open to Teens & Adults. Every
one gets to take home an infinity scarf and they all leave learning a new skill. Dawn works well with all ages, is patient, and really enthusiastic about teaching what she loves. We can't wait to have Dawn back to teach more classes this Fall!"

Review by Nancy
"I am a very experienced knitter with over 40 years of experience and can say, without hesitation, that Patty is the best knitting instructor I have ever h
ad the pleasure of learning from. I have no doubt that knitters of all skill levels would benefit from Patty's classes. I have taken most of them (on Craftsy, Annie's Attic and Interweave Knits) and found her to be very engaging, logical and thorough. She explains everything very clearly, and provides so many useful tips, even for those who thought they knew almost everything there was to know about knitting. I highly recommend any class taught by Patty and I hope she keeps creating new ones!"

Review by Lynette
"I took a class on knitting without turning with Patty at Stitches TX 2015 and found her to be engaging, fun, extremely articulate and absolutely inspiring
. Her instructions (both written and oral) are clear and easy to follow, even for tricky techniques. What I really loved was how she was able to break knitting down to its basic essence and give us all permission to make it our own without insinuating that anyone was doing it wrong previously. She has a great sense of humor and creates a very comfortable learning environment.
I continue to find myself "really looking at" my knitting, sometimes even to the point I set it down and stare at it and pet it because it looks so pretty now! I can honestly say my knitting has improved vastly after taking her class, even though I'm not a new knitter. Obviously Patty is very talented at teaching at least this old dog some new tricks! If you haven't ever taken instruction from her, whether online or in-person, do it now. It will change (in a positive way) how you knit forever."

Review by Gail Brousal
"I am a self-taught, long time knitter with the most basic knowledge. I have eschewed many patterns that require advanced techniques. One session with Pa
tty was revelatory about the why of doing. I left with greater confidence, eager for my next lesson."

Review by Deborah
"The two classes I took with Patty back in Aug 2015 are still resonating with me. I learned so much and keep going back to the handouts and samples we com
pleted so I can keep up the skills she taught so wonderfully! I keep checking Patty's site to figure out when I can take another class with her - whether in person or on line I would do it in a heartbeat!"

"I had the pleasure of meeting with Katy this afternoon. She was able to put me at ease right out of the gate. She is very knowledgeable and is able to c
ommunicate the fine points clearly and concisely. The time passed quickly and I walked away with a new understanding and appreciation for the skill required. If you are in need of instruction in knitting I can think of no one better."

I’ve wanted to learn lace knitting for so long but it overwhelmed me every time I tried. Simply stated: I’m no longer overwhelmed or fearful of lace knitting!
Patty is patient, detailed and takes the time to make sure the steps make sense instead of just a monkey see monkey do what I do approach. This gives me an actual understanding of what I’m doing and WHY and removed so much of what confused me before.
Patty has a depth of technical knowledge that is fierce. Combine that with her ability to break it down and truly TEACH me what to do and that’s a recipe for pure awesomeness.
I’ve already booked 2 more lessons because um hello.... I need to learn ALL THE THINGS
