This is very much like having someone show you one-on-one how to knit.

Tracie even tells you how to hold your knitting needles so it's all quite basic and nicely paced and geared towards the beginner.

By the end of the lesson she'll have walked you through how to make a dishcloth.

I'm terrible at knitting, but this DVD makes the whole process seem quite managable.

She does have at least two more DVDs as well. Lesson 2 teaches you how to make mittens. Lesson three teaches you how to make scarves.

I'm posting this review on ALL of the disc sites I can find for any of these discs!
I didn't have any reviews to go by when I bought this, and I wish I'd waited, but then that would have been someone else's tough luck.


I ordered the set of 5 videos and WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!

First, each DVD contains MAYBE one hour of instruction, so these could have all been put on one video & been a much better deal.
Secondly, altho the teaching is fair, this doesn't teach anything you couldn't learn yourself from a product called "I Taught Myself How to Knit!", which comes with needles & the basic necessities you need to start knitting.
The Fair Isle DVD doesn't actually teach you two-handed Fair Isle color knitting, which is what I really wanted to learn. It teaches you how to knit right-handed with two colors, laying one down & picking the other up - THIS IS NOT 2-HANDED KNITTING!

All in all, I'm very disappointed in the set of DVDs; I wouldn't recommend them to anyone, unless you find a used set of all 5 DVDs (probably mine!), here or at a garage sale; and I wouldn't recommend you spend more than $5 for all of them.
