This is a great video for beginners who don't know anyone personally to teach them how to knit. I had been trying to learn to knit for a month now and finally know how to do a knit stitch thanks to this video!

If you know someone you can help you knit, get their help first but this video is great for people who don't have that help. I would suggest learning how to knit from a video than buying a book.

I thought this was good. I got it for my grandkids to learn to knit and I think it is just the video to do that!! I recommend it!! It's very clear and easy to follow for adults and children. I will probably purchase the rest of the series. OH...by the way, I do not work for Leisure Arts...this is an honest review. Thank you!

The knitting instructional DVD is clear and organized well. Miss Leapman brings her knowledge as a teacher to the privacy of your own home. If you need to review a stitch, the DVD's format design allows you to view the demonstration without having to return to the beginning of the DVD. "Two needles up" to Leisure Arts.

First, I would not call the host an expert knitter. Her continental style is very sloppy. the complete beginner's guide was MUCH better. this is for the complete novice. I picked this up to learn cont. style and long tail cast on. She goes WAY to fast in the long tail cast one. Other times are very slow.She even pauses to count her stitches in an example....what a waste of time. a novice would do much better to watch a youtube clip. there is no real value to this dvd. unlike complete beginner DVD which you can keep going back to, to learn more. not sure why the other reviews are so high. Just wanted to let folks know the truth.

This is really a well done DVD. You absolutely will learn to knit! I did! AND I love it! I actually got this from the library first, but liked it so much I bought it! Don't be turned off by the front photo.....She's not the instructor. The instructor has a nice calmness about her....not flashy, but confident and pleasant. A bargain!!!

This is an excellent dvd for beginning knitters. I think that the instructor is a wonderful teacher.She definitely helped me feel more comfortable with the mechanics behind knitting.I bought another dvd earlier,which I did not like,but this one helped encourage me to want to continue with knitting. I hope that the instructor creates many many many more dvds on knitting. I would love it if in the future, she would create different dvds on how to do all sorts of knitting patterns.I learn better through dvds, than than through books teaching knitting patterns.
