Summary: For people who cannot learn from books
Comment: I have been trying to learn how to knit using books for years. I kept failing, and eventually I gave up, until one day I was browsing amazon.com, and I stumbled upon this DVD. The reviews were awesome, so I decided to buy. Since then, I have bought 3 copies of this DVD as gifts to my friends, all of which are astonished at how easily and quickly I learned how to knit.
This DVD is really for the absolute beginner. It took me about 15 minutes to master the first step, casting on, and about 30 minutes to master the knit stitch, and another 30 minutes for the perl stitch. In 2 days, I kid you not, I was knitting, seriously knitting. Within a couple of weeks I had my first scarf. I cannot express my gratitude enough for the people who made this DVD. Knitting is my new hobby, one that I have admired for years, and now I am actually physically doing it everyday.

Summary: Knitting DVD
Comment: I don't like to "over rate" anything; however, I found this video very easy to work through. Clear instruction. And, introduces several ways to do the technique; gives you the opportunity to use what works for your hands/mind.

Summary: Dissapointed
Comment: I was dissapointed to find out that the author teaches the continental method of knitting completely incorrect. English and continental methods are two very distinct methods of knitting with the same end result. She shows them as the same method only holding the knitting in the opposite hands. English knitters are "throwers" you throw or wrap the yarn around the needle, where continetal knitters are "pickers" you pick the yarn through the loop. If you want to learn continental method, do not buy this DVD. Get "Knitting from start to finishing" by Bev Dillon. - much more content in this DVD as well.

Summary: The Complete Beginner's Guide to Knitting.
Comment: I'm an old crocheter and wanted to learn something new. The books weren't helping much, so I got one that has a DVD with it. This has helped me to learn knitting, but I think I still like crocheting better.
