About Dovile R.

About Dovile
I began teaching while studying in Art Institute. My first students were 5 to 7 yr. old kids. It was very challenging, but also very rewarding. I was teaching them skills, they were teaching me patience. Later the age of my students grew, until I ended up teaching the same students I was in the same classes just 6 months ago. Again another challenge. I love challenges and even more I love helping others to overcome them.
My philosophy about teaching is that everybody can learn, it is only the way how we learn is different for different people. Another very important thing - I strive to be creative, respectful and approachable.

About Rhiannon P.
Close
As with crocheting, I can teach a range of students, from those with the beginning desire to learn to students wishing to hone specific techniques. My favorite techniques include in the round and double pointed needles, because who doesn't want to learn to avoid more sewing?
About Rhiannon
My name is Rhiannon and I am a third generation crafter. Originally I went to school for art history, all the while crafting. Eventually I had enough of studying other people's work and instead wanted to make my own and empower others to do the same.
I consider myself to be the "Swiss Army Knife" of crafters. I have delved into nearly every craft and love passing this knowledge onto my students. For these reasons I have a diverse range of crafts I can teach, including: knitting, crochet, embroidery, hairpin lace, needle felting, and shuttle tatting. In addition to my passion for a variety of crafts, I also love teaching a variety of skill levels, from students beginning their first stitch to someone who wants to redesign a pattern.
With a positive attitude and a willingness to learn I can teach you any of a variety of crafts.

What would you like to learn? Basic stitching or specific techniques? Learn how to use Ravelry. Get help with a current project. Are you left-handed? Bonus! I teach righty or lefty as needed.
Make a list of “Things I Want to Work On” and we can put together a great lesson plan and schedule. Here are some skills and techniques to think about to get your list started. Ask me about anything else, if you don’t see it here:
Stitches and Techniques –
• Basic or advanced stitches
• Lace and openwork increases and decreases
• How to read charts
• Knitting in the round
• Tubular cast on
• Beading to embellish projects
Math Made Easy -
• Reading the Yarn Ball Band for yarn weights and hook sizes
• Gauge and substituting yarn
• Tackle your niggly math questions
About Ellen
Whether you want to begin knitting or crocheting, or already love to, there’s always something new to learn. I love all aspects of knitting and crochet - color, texture, and creation. And I love sharing all this with my students. I personally enjoy the math of it, and can help make it easy if math is not your “thing”.
Would you like to learn basic skills, hone current ones , or enhance your experience with new techniques? If you're in the middle of a project and need help, or have specifice technique(s) you'd like to work on, consider booking a 15 minute class, or a series of them.

• How to use Ravelry - A knitting community full of useful information
• Fiber Math…Yes you can

Review by Josh
"Patty is nothing short of amazing. I first took an in-person class with Patty at Stitches Midwest in 2015. As she tells everyone, she doesn't just teach y
ou the how, she teaches you the why. This pedagogy allows you to not only understand your stitches and fabric to a greater degree, it also allows you to become more self-sufficient when you encounter problems. Also, Patty's sense of humor truly makes her classes not only educational but so much fun as well. Her wit and cleverness makes the learning experience even more enjoyable. After taking Patty's class at Stitches, I was sold after that one experience and snatched up her two Craftsy classes, four DVDs (from Annie's and Interweave), and some webinars from Interweave. It doesn't matter what she is teaching and what your level of skill is; you will learn something from Patty and have fun doing it too. I've been knitting for years and still learned things from each of the classes she teaches. If I had to choose one instructor as the most effective knitting teacher I've ever had, it would be Patty."

at at explaining, and patient. She really digs into the technical side of knitting and makes it seem fascinating. Since taking her classes, I am a much better knitter and also a much more thoughtful one. I can't recommend her highly enough."

"Moar Patty, all of the time, Patty first and last, A-Z - I have learned more from Patty both live and online from any knitting instructor, anytime, anywhe
re and if I lived nearby, I would sign up for weekly lessons. I truly feel there is NOTHING she could not teach as regards knitting, and what she does select to teach has catapulted me from a mere novice to a confident knitter willing to tackle dozens of new techniques (and spend many dollars on yarn, tools and classes because the outcome has been so pleasing)! Patty is, simply put, a gem, and any site who affiliates with her will be counting its lucky stars that they have retained her. I cannot remember any educational enterprise I have been involved with that had such a phenomenal teacher/leader as Patty, and I am a lifelong learner who recognizes quality instruction, and strongly supports it in every respect."

"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."
