Customer Reviews

Excellent, well organized DVD
This DVD was extremely helpful to me as a self-taught knitter who began with socks several months ago. The comfortable format of a mother and daughter sitting on a sofa discussing knitting and demonstrating various techniques was most useful. It is a joy to watch on so many levels. I love Elizabeth Zimmermann's spirit and her daughter, Meg Swansen's expertise. The well organized index allows easy access to the various techniques for later review. This DVD is jam packed with information as it's very tightly edited and includes a wonderful interview at the end. I HIGHLY recommend this video to new and experienced knitter's alike. I also bought the Knitting Workship DVD, but of the two, the Knitting Glossary is the most helpful.

Timeless Tool for Anyone Who Knits.
If you don't have time to take classes, you have it all right here alive and in color with Elizabeth and Meg. You feel as tho' you are right there on their couch learning from two experts. Elizabeth's demeanor and humor are just so endearing. I adore her and Meg's wit. The beauty of the DVD is you have the ability to pause,go back and search through an expansive and thorough index. If you are knitting and come to a road block, you will find your answer on this DVD. I absolutly love this DVD. You will not be disappointed. This is a timeless tool for anyone who knits.

Wonderful knitting techniques DVD
This is one of the best of the Schoolhouse Press DVD's featuring Meg Swansen and Elizabeth Zimmermann discussing knitting techniques. The whole format is relaxed and although sometimes it is a little difficult to follow what they are saying - and there are no subtitles (which would benefit me as I am severely hard of hearing) - the close-up filming of the hands working the knitting and demonstrating what to do are excellent.

I particularly love the section demonstrating how to fix a mistake in a cable by dropping stitches and re-knitting the cable instead of taking out several rows of work. I also adore the demonstrations of I-cord techniques and the huge collection of methods of casting on is incredible. The DVD is fully indexed, so it is possible to select any section you wish to watch, or you can just watch it straight through. Either way it's very entertaining and enjoyable.

This is a must for any knitter, particularly if you wish to take the Knitting Masters course.
