DVD Reviews of The Complete Beginner's Guide to Knitting

DVD Review: If you want to "knit"' this DVD will teach you!
Summary: 5 Stars

I was knitting and purling in less than a day with this DVD! You are seeing the work through her eyes as you learn. You learn the most basic concepts in a well planned course. You learn what you realy need to know in order to move into world of knitting. One of things that I have been wanting to do is to create my own ribbed cufs for my sewing projects. The more disciplines that one masters, the less one depends on others for products or piece work! Also, for other guys out there who want to learn to knitt, Nici is not too hard on the eyes!! If you get my drift. WOW!

DVD Review: very easy to follow instructions!
Summary: 5 Stars

This instructional video was very user friendly! I had been taught by my grandmother many (many) years ago, but lost much that I learned. The instructor was very easy to listen to, She keeps you on track and makes it very easy to learn how to fix your mistakes! Thank you Nici!!!

DVD Review: Great Training Guide
Summary: 5 Stars

The instructions, the presentation and the pretty, young lady make a great package for learning to knit. Well worth the price.

DVD Review: Best way to learn the basics
Summary: 5 Stars

I'd decided to try something new and learn to knit but all of the written instructions I'd found did not help me at all. I went ahead and decided to give this DVD a try and I finally learned what to do.

It wasn't as easy as watching it once and being able to immediately knit. The set up of the DVD was great in that you could easily go back and watch each step as many times as needed. It was broken down into small enough sections that I didn't have to sit through a bunch of steps I already knew. I could watch exactly the step I needed until I learned how to do it.

Another important feature was that all the steps were available in both Continental and English style. I absolutely hated English style so without both I probably would have given up on knitting right away.

This DVD is limited to the basics. You won't find advanced techniques here but that's not the purpose of this DVD. I learned the basics well enough that I can pick up some knitting books and actually understand them. I wish there was a sequel with more advanced techniques as I have yet to find something that explains these as clearly as the basics where explained here. There seem to be rumors of another DVD but I have yet to see it.

DVD Review: Amazing Video!
Summary: 5 Stars

I am a complete novice at knitting (or I was one!). Because of this DVD I am now completing my first full fledged project (pillows!). The video is clear cut and very robust. She even goes into how to use the controls for your DVD player in case you aren't too tech savvy. With someone who is so thoughtful you know you're getting a thorough and patient teacher and she is all of those things and more. I was happy to see that all of the video's of actual knitting were very close up and with yarn that was bulky enough to see each individual stitch. The DVD menu is set up just right into categories that are easy to understand and navigate. I don't have any complaints. She was definitely new to the camera, but that's what made me feel at ease and fall in love with the process itself. I will surely recommend this DVD to ANYONE who would like to learn the art of knitting. It was fun and full of good information. Can't wait for the next DVD this Christmas!
