 Hands Down.... I mean Hands UP Fantastic! Oct 04, 2006
By J. Kara Russell
"Actress/Artist/Musician/Writer"
I am an expert knitter/designer and I also teach. I really expected very little from this DVD. I got this DVD because I am most comfortable knitting "continental" style, and I HOPED to: 1) get a refresher on American style, 2) pick up some alternative beginner techniques, and 3) find alternative/clearer language to improve my teaching.
I found all this and MORE. This is a marvelous teaching tool that I would highly recommend to any begginning knitter, and I will recommend it to anyone taking a knitting class to augment the hands on teaching with additional info.
If hands on teaching is not available, this should do it... going alongside a teacher and a novice knitter - it's a great set up. For me, the begginning steps got a bit tedious, but I expected that - I would expect it to be very comforting to someone who is new to it, and just the right pace for a begginner.
My only tiny qualm with this video (if you watch ALL the sections) is a focus in two segments on Buddism. I expect this from the author of THE ZEN OF KNITTING, but it was repeated in a knitting circle segment that was heavily religious. This CAN be informative as to how a knitting group can become an affinity group for people of a religion, but... it's off-putting in a begginning knitter class.
DO watch the extra features, the ones on the making and dying of yarns are so informative, and the artist who talks about color theory has wonderful things to think about that will influence the way you combine color and think about your knitting.
Simply fantastic. GET IT, and Get knitting!

 Watch out for fake reviews Nov 13, 2007
By Avid Reader
Someone else pointed out that there were a lot of suspicious 5-star reviews for all the DVDs in this series. Sure enough, if you click on a good number of them, they have only reviewed this series and ohmigosh they just love each and every one of them!! What a pain. There are some authentic reviews of the DVDs, both positive and negative. I checked this DVD out from the library and I would say it's about average. Some good content, some just so so. Definitely one to see if you can get it from your local library first.

Great overview Feb 18, 2009
By Brez
"Brez"
I am a beginning knitter and I picked this DVD up from the library to help me with the visual aspects of more advanced stitches so that I could move beyond scarves. This is a very comprehensive DVD which starts in section 1 with the basics of casting on, the knit stitch and the purl stitch. The DVD then moves on to consider common knitting abbreviations and the other stitches I was looking for. To me, as a beginnig knitter, the only downside to this DVD IS the beginning section. The instructor first teaches "casting on" using what I consider the most complicated method of casting on. Trying to watch a DVD on the TV while doing it up close with your own knitting needles, her explanations are confusing. I would have stopped there if I hadn't known how to do this already. She goes on later to cast-on using the easier method, but I'm not sure why she didn't intro this one first. Again, the only downside to this DVD is the first section, but this is a critical section for a true beginner. The instructor is unclear, and her "student" keeps pointing out how she's not sure what's she's doing, and as they work through it, the camera seems to focus more on them than it does on the stitching. Having said this, the rest of the DVD is better. The 2nd instructor goes through knit/purl again using both American style knitting and continental knitting (she's clearer in 2 minutes than the whole first seciton), then goes on to describes increasing/decreasing stitches with much clearer pictures. Also helpful: 1) a great description of the different types of yarn and how to use them for summer vs winter weight garments, and how to care for these garments, 2) a chiropractor who outlines proper body mechanics/stretching to prevent knitting related shoulder pain/carpal tunnel, 3) color value to aid with putting projects together, 4) index of knitting abbreviations, 4) a link to local knitting shops by state.

Pretty Good Except for Purl Instruction Mar 25, 2008
By jordan
I thought this DVD was pretty good (I found a new easier way to do a slip knot!) but was annoyed with the instruction on the purl stitch. The instructor did a good job of explaining what to do with the right needle but then when she got to the left she went a bit faster and I had a heck of a time copying what she had done. What really bugged me is that she kept chirping "see how simple it is!" which made me feel like an idiot because I couldn't get it until I watched it 10+ times.

The Art of Knitting Mar 30, 2009
By Marilyn Baker
"Mrs B"
The DVD is a clear instructional for beginners in knitting. It provides the basics as well as information on designer styling. I am a self-taught knitter and I learned a few new tips. I would have liked more details on yarn selection. This is a good buy for someone who is still learning how to knit.
