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!"

Review by Sue
"I have taken Patty's classes, first online, with Craftsy, and then in person, at Vogue Knitting Live in Pasadena. I have also knit one of her patterns.
Patty has an incredible breadth of technical knowledge, and shares it most generously. I always learn more than promised, and keep coming back for more. I highly recommend Patty as a knitting teacher."

Review by Susan B.
"I have taken three of her classes online and I can't imagine a better instructor. Even when I think I already know a lot about the topic, she always has m
ore to teach me. She is patient and kind and very clear in her explanations. I love that she explains WHY to do something instead of simply telling you to do it. Her class on Improving Your Knitting revolutionized the way I knit. I watched it three times and will watch it again. I would love an opportunity to take a private class with Patty."

Review by Luce
"Angela and I talked about what I wanted to accomplish with these lessons. We talked about what my current skills are and what I needed to learn sock kni
tting.
For my first class we started on my socks. I got set up and I went home with my “homework” and a sense of accomplishment. I am on my way to finish my first pair!"

About Erin R.
Close I've been teaching knitting for 7 years and my students have gone on to create bags, scarves, headbands, and bracelets. Within the first few lessons, you'll be able to complete a headband or scarf and as time goes on you'll be able to knit a hat in the round. I specialize in working with heavy weight yards and creating a funky, wildly textured projects. I love working with students of all ages and experience levels and I can't wait to meet you!
