Patty Lyon's Knitting Bag of Tricks...easy to find helpful knitting "tricks!"
I heard about the book. I wanted it. I found it on eBay. I'm happy! I think it was a "gently used book" and if so It was VERY gently used as it looks and feels like brand new to me. Again, I'm happy!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

MUST HAVE - DON’T HESITATE!
This is a must-have for EVERY knitter, whether new to knitting or a master knitter. The graphics are so easy to understand. And the entire book is written with so much wonderful humor. I have started to read it from cover to cover, and constantly find myself reading sections out loud to whomever will listen. I have taken classes from Patty, and always learned so much. I can just see her talking as I read her book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
