Great tool
Although I consider myself a experienced knitter, I found this DVD very useful in knitting this wonderful sweater. You follow Meg Swansen through all key steps of this project. It also includes directions for adding a collar and a bonnet. It is truly amazing that a sweater can be knitted in one piece, which eliminates to much seaming...you only need to seam at the shoulders.
Great product
I am what Elizabeth Zimmerman called a "blind follower," and this DVD helped me knit a Baby Surprise Jacket with little difficulty or frustration. Zimmerman's pattern is included in this DVD, but the directions can be a bit unclear. After watchiing this DVD, the cryptic pattern for the darling Baby Surprise Jacket will suddenly make sense. You can pause or return to a particular section over and over, if necessary. The DVD also includes a pattern for a matching bonnet and some tips for adapting the pattern to suit your needs (how to add a collar, how to lengthen the arms, how to trim with an i-cord).
This DVD is a must have for the visual learner.
Very good!
I have tried to knit the Baby Surprise Jacket in the past and just couldn't quite figure it out. This DVD was perfect, and it also has instructions for different collars and a matching bonnet. Very helpful!
