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.

About Laura B.
Close
Currently a pattern designer for Red Heart yarns, I've been teaching knitting and crochet professionally for six years. Within the first few lessons, you'll be able to knit and purl and as time goes on you'll be able to make whatever wonderful project you can dream up, from sweaters to stuffed animals. I typically use my own teaching materials supplemented by some handouts from the Craft Yarn Council. I love working with students of all ages and experience levels and I can't wait to meet you!
About Laura
Hi! My name is Laura and I have been teaching professionally, in one capacity or another since I graduated from college in 1998. I currently design knit and crochet patterns for Coats & Clark (the largest craft manufacturer in the world). My mother taught me to knit and crochet at such a young age that I don’t remember a time when I haven’t known how to knit or crochet. In 2010 I began teaching needle-crafts, as well as selling the same items I’d been making and giving away to loved ones for many years. I also began creating and selling hand spun yarn. I have been developing and designing patterns since 2013. Once you start knitting, the possibilities are endless!

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

"I've taken three online knitting classes with Patty -- and they have all been fantastic. Patty's teaching style is clear and detailed. I've used many of
the techniques I've learned from her classes to improve my knitting. She has a wonderful sense of humor and I love her "swatchzilla" swatch!"

"I've actually taken classes from Patty in person at knitting events as well as online through Craftsy. She is a fantastic teacher: fun, knowledgeable, gre
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."

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!"

forever and thought I knew it all (vbg) but she taught me so many techniques to improve my knitting. She was well-prepared, organized, funny and able to get the information across without confusing me! I would love to take more classes with Patty and can highly recommend her as a teacher!"

"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."

"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."
