5.0 out of 5 stars EZ Our Knitting Guru, December 27, 2007

By	Dolores J. Reed "Dodie aka Yarnwench" (South Beach, OR) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love this DVD. I have wanted it since I first heard it was on the market, but didn't have a chance to get it until recently.

This is her original TV series on PBS and is excellent. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced knitter there is something here for you. She is a great teacher and her explanations are excellent.

I've been knitting for 40 years and considered myself an advanced knitter until I watched this DVD, I decided that really I'm a Intermediate knitter at best, but becoming better with each watching!

I highly recommend this DVD for everyone who wants to improve their knitting, especially those that don't learn well from books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good instruction for self taught knitters, February 6, 2008

By	E. Lee - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The content of this DVD is well made. I was having trouble understanding the pattern from "Knitting Workshop" and this DVD really fleshed it out. The instructor goes at a good pace for me to follow, explains things well, and the camera closeups help you see what she's doing.

I learned how to knit from books and the internet so I find it extremely helpful to see a proficient knitter in action. In addition to making the jacket I am picking up general knitting tips here and there. This DVD provided much reassurance and confidence building for a self taught knitter like me.

5.0 out of 5 stars She is a genius!, November 21, 2007

By	Sleepless (Anoka, MN) - See all my reviews

I had this on my wish list for a long time before I treated myself to buying it.
So my question to myself is "Why did I wait so long?"

I vaguely remember this series when it was on PBS and I was a young beginning knitter. I remember being in awe of EZ then and I am still in awe. She is amazing. This DVD and it is like having a wise and experienced mom or grandma sitting there with you and showing you how to knit.

This DVD offers solid instruction and education for the beginner all the way up to some advanced techniques.
