Patty Lyons' Knitting Bag of Tricks
Patty Lyons can help you solve knitting problems—from big ones like adjusting your yarn tension to the smallest little wonky stitch. With dozens of brand new how-tos and the most popular tricks from her beloved advice columns, this handy guide goes far beyond your typical knitting tips. Knitters of all levels will discover both why and how various techniques work, and improve both the look of their knitting and their command of stitches.
This book is about the ‘why’ of knitting. By digging deeper into the ‘why,’ Patty doesn’t just fix knitting problems she helps you to truly understand why the yarn, stitches, needles, and tension are acting in a certain way and how to make them do what you want.
Starting even before the first stitch is cast on, Patty addresses problems that arise all along the way of a project, so you can understand the why. She looks at the problems caused by common mistakes that many knitters make unconsciously as well as diving into more complex knitting issues and how to trouble shoot them. All of Patty’s techniques and tips are illustrated with detailed step-by-step artworks for absolute clarity.
