"I've taken two of Patty Lyons' online classes (General knitting and Cables) and found them both informative, interesting, and extremely clear. This is a
woman who clears knows her stuff. She LOVES knitting-- which makes learning from her so enjoyable. I like Patty's style so well that this spring I'll be taking two different workshops from her at Stitches West. Anyone who can get one-on-one instruction from her is fortunate indeed."

Review by Judy
"Patty Lyons ROCKS as a knitting instructor. I have taken most of her online classes through Craftsy, Interweave and Annie's and have learned so much. Th
e thing that I love the most about Patty's style of teaching is that in addition to teaching the technique she also gives you insight into the 'why' of what you are doing which has taken my knitting to a whole new level. Additionally, she is funny and upbeat - it's a joy to laugh along with her and feel like she is right there next to you."

About LILY
I am a fashion designer/instructor and former social worker. I am very patient with students and passionate about sewing. I get excited watching students build skills gradually from basic through advanced level techniques.
Also, I am one of the few teachers in the country who teaches the exclusive "Freehand" sewing, which is sewing without ready-made (commercial) pattern, like our grandparents did.
As a social worker, I taught participants in a homeless shelter, how to make various items geared towards independent living. For six years now, I've been teaching at a fabric store in East Harlem where patrons sign up for group sewing lessons as well as private lessons. I teach garment construction, alterations, home decor, and various sewing projects.

About Jo
I bring solid technical understanding and lots of patience and encouragement to my crochet classes. I work with each student to meet their individual needs, I am constantly looking for ways of explaining crochet techniques so that students experience true success in the craft. I nurture my students so that they become technically correct and can then follow their needlework dreams creating functional items and works of art. I’m truly enjoying the craft renaissance that is the world over. I try to get my students to explore all aspects of the craft, from relaxation and meditation to creating useful and beautiful items to be handed down through generations.
