About the Expert: Lion Brand Yarn Studio

Patty: Hi, I'm Patty Lion, studio director of the Lion Brand Yarn Studio in New York City, here in the heart of Union Square. Lion Brand Yarn Studio is the retail store and education center for Lion Brand Yarn Company, the oldest yarn brand in America. Lion Brand also offers one of the best online resources for yarn crafters, lionbrand.com, where you can find thousands of free patterns, frequently asked questions, and more. Today I'm here with Andrea Lemire. Patty: Hey, Andrea. Andrea: Hey, Patty. I'm the education coordinator here at the studio. I'm here to talk to you a little bit about crochet. I learned when I was four years old, and I've been absolutely obsessed ever since. I just want to share the wealth of crochet knowledge that's inside me with you guys and get you absolutely as excited as I am about it.
