4.0 out of 5 stars Very Clear instructions, January 8, 2008

This review is from: American Knitter Learn to Knit 5 DVD Super Set (DVD)

Instructions are very clear and easy to follow. Had no problem following along with the DVDs. Found it nice to be able to repeat instructions from disk.

Down side - no written instructions until you get to DVD #4 & 5. I had to create my own. Found the presenter's very long finger nails distracting due to the unsual design on them. But I finished my projects with ease.

Would recommend them, but would like to see a better quality put into the finished project.

Bought this for my daughter as a gift and she said the first dvd in the series was very basic but the others she found to be very helpful in teaching her techniques she was unfamiliar with. She also stated that the person who is doing the video was going sometimes too fast and she had to pause and rewind.
Otherwise a good buy.

This review is from: American Knitter Learn to Knit 5 DVD Super Set (DVD)

Bought these for my wife when she mentioned it might be fun to learn how to knit. She's had no experience ever and now she's totally hooked! They have great instructions in getting started and now she's knitting whenever we're watching tv.
Have to say - fantastic!
This is a perfect dvd learning set for beginning knitters. Great value for the price! I recommended it.
