What Students Are Saying About Patty's Classes

  • This class is worth every penny and more!! For those hesitant to try brioche this is a great start! It also gives you everything you need to make the perfect sweater to fit you! - Jennifer

  • Together, the pattern and video tutorials provide everything you need for this sweater.  And the bonus is you can keep the videos playing while you knit so it feels like Patty is sitting there, guiding you and helping the entire time - Beth

  • Even as an experienced sweater knitter, I always learn something new with each sweater class. I especially love the spreadsheet customization option for this sweater because it allowed me to use a yarn that I couldn’t get exact gauge with beautiful results! - Lisa

Is the class perfect for me?

Yes! If you're ready to learn!

Don't let arbitrary labels hold you back from knitting the sweater of your dreams. Remember, the course content is yours for LIFE and never expires, so take your time and grow your skills
