 - DissapointedI 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. Rating:  - The Complete Beginner's Guide to Knitting.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. Rating:  - Beginner's Guide to KnittingI knitted over 25 years ago with my grandmothers but couldn't remember how to do it again. This great video refreshed my memory. One can go at their own speed until they feel both confident and coordinated. The "go back" feature is perfect when first learning. I highly recommend it. Rating: - Wicked EasyI have always wanted to learn to knit, and with this DVD I actually learned in less then 30 minutes! I never knew it could be so easy, I wish I had found this years ago. If you want to learn to knit, skip the books and go with this one, it is the best. Nici McNally is very pretty and personable and doesn't treat you like an idiot or assume you know anything (including how to work a DVD remote). Very basic, very effective! Rating: - If you want to learn to knit, look no furtherIf you want to learn to knit, here's the DVD for you. In under an hour you will be knitting away with a decent grasp on the basics.
