Hi, my name is Lavanya! I was taught how to knit by my Grandmother 20+ years ago and have been knitting ever since. I can often be found teaching my most cherished techniques and stitches at your favorite local yarn shops and fiber festivals, I’m the author of Brioche Knitting Workshop, and I love to design knitwear in my free time. I’m also the proud Mom of three wonderful children, a tiny cat, and a bountiful organic backyard garden.

 

Lavanya Patricella is a fiber artist, knitting instructor, author, and designer based in North Eastern Pennsylvania. She's been teaching knitting since 2010 across the United States, and has published more than 100 original patterns since 2014 online and in select publications. Her passion for her craft lights up yarn shops and inspires knitters, eager to learn and expand their creativity.
