Patty Lyons is a nationally recognised knitting teacher and technique expert who is known for teaching the “why” not just the “how” in her pursuit of training the “mindful knitter”. She specialises in sweater design and sharing her love of the much-maligned subjects of gauge and blocking.
Her designs and knitting skill articles have been published in Vogue Knitting, Interweave Knits, Knit Purl, Knitter’s Magazine, Cast On, Knit Style, Creative Knitting, Twist Collective and Modern Daily Knitting where she writes a monthly knitter’s advice column: “Ask Patty”. Patty’s designs have also been included in pattern collections from Classic Elite, Noro, Cascade, Tahki Stacy Charles, Sugar Bush and Willow Yarns.
Patty has been a repeat guest on PBS’s Knitting Daily TV and even quoted as a subject-matter expert in the Wall Street Journal.
Patty Lyons will be signing copies of her book “Patty Lyons’ Knitting Bag of Tricks” between 11:15am and 12:15pm at The Scottish Yarn Festival. Copies are limited. Pre-orders for collection will open on 6 July.
