Customer Reviews

I had no idea!

I purchased this DVD because I thought I might see what I already knew from a different angle. I had no idea how packed with information and ideas “Art of Knitting” is. The first five minutes paid for the effort. I had no idea that it would go on for hours and hours. You need to have plenty of coffee ready and forget about doing anything else the day you start to watch this DVD. It is organized like an animated magazine with articles and sub-articles. Each is well-titled and gives further reading or viewing references. Like a magazine, not everyone will be interested in every section, yet you can always find something, and much is serendipity. Not everything is physically knitting, yet they go through all types of knitting forms. There is a quick section on the difference in holding threads, as in American vs. Continental. If you ever watch any Agatha Christy Miss Marple movies with Joan Hickson, then you get a good dose of Continental or European knitting methods. Everyone knows that the process of knitting is just mechanical; you can do most while watching TV or holding a conversation. But what to knit, what looks good, and what works well as clothing, accessories, or art is another matter. We even get a crash course in color psychology. If I covered everything on this DVD, it would take a book. And this is just one of a series. It is safe to say this is one of the best investments you could make.
