The Complete Beginner's Guide to Knitting

I had never knitted, and within an afternoon I was well on my way. About the same time I started, I had a friend who got a knitting book from the library, and I ended up teaching her. Photos in a book are no match to the videos in this DVD. The instructions were slow and repeated, but not too slow. The website that supplements the DVD also has photos of the projects included with the DVD. I wouuld reccomend this DVD to anyone who has never knitted before. The menu also has a seperate chapter on fixing mistakes, which is quick to get to in case you make a mistake like dropping a stitch.

I have been trying to learn how to knit for about 4 years. I've bought books, watched friends, and yet never seemed to get farther than casting on and forgetting. I bought this DVD on recommendation from a friend. In half an hour I learned- and remembered- how to cast on, knit and purl. What is wonderful about this DVD is the calm and clear method of the instructor, along with the super close up of the hands and needles so you can really see what you are supposed to be doing. Also, because it is a DVD, you can pause and easily repeat a section anytime. I would recommend this for anyone- including kids.

This is a great DVD for someone who has never knitted before. I was knitting within the hour and have two scarves half finished. The instruction is very clear and the DVD format allows for easily repeating the step if you don't quite master it the first time through. I'm very confident about turning out great knitted items after completing the rest of the video.

Fabulous!!!! I'm a beginner and I was taught the English method of knitting. After watching this DVD, I thought I'd try the Continental method and the instruction is so easy that I'm now knitting faster with this method. The town I live in is about 2 hours away from the nearest yarn shop and this DVD is a great tool.

I can't wait for The Complete Beginners Guide to Advanced Knitting DVD.

Visual is so much easier for me and her instruction is excellent.

Having bought several "beginner" knitting DVD's, this is the absolute BEST! Whenever anyone asks me to teach them to knit, I just hand them a copy of this amazon page and tell them to buy this DVD and save their "class" money to buy yarn!
