100k Copies of Patty Lyons’ Knitting Bag of Tricks Sold! Let’s Celebrate YOU!
THANK YOU. I’m still pinching myself.
Over 100,000 copies of Knitting Bag of Tricks have found their way into your hands in just over two and a half years. That’s 100,000 chances to rethink your knitting, improve your technique, and (hopefully!) giggle along the way.
This little book was born out of my love of teaching and my obsession with solving knitting puzzles. I had no idea it would turn into such a movement—a knitting revolution powered by YOU.
Whether you’ve been with me from the beginning or just picked up the book last week, I’m so grateful. You’ve shared your projects, your stories, your questions, and your wins. Your creativity and curiosity inspire me daily. So this month, it’s time to celebrate all that you’ve done with Tricksy (yup, she’s got a nickname ).
