From the author’s preface:

Instead of a “how” book, I’ve written a “why” book. It’s not a “why do we knit book,” but a “why do we knit the way we do” book. Once we understand the WHY we can figure out the HOW to do it better!

Chapters include topics you expect like gauge and cast-ons and finishing, along with Patty’s signature discourses on Fundamental Truths and Pesky Problems. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry you’ll laugh. You will refer to this resource again and again.

 

About the designer

Patty Lyons is a nationally recognized knitting teacher and technique expert. In her pursuit of training the mindful knitter, Patty is known for teaching the “why” in addition to the “how.” She specializes in sweater design and sharing her love of the much-maligned subjects of gauge and blocking.

You can find Patty at her website and on Ravelry.
