Movie Reviews of A Knitting Glossary DVD
Movie Review: Wonderful knitting techniques DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best of the Schoolhouse Press DVD's featuring Meg Swansen and Elizabeth Zimmermann discussing knitting techniques. The whole format is relaxed and although sometimes it is a little difficult to follow what they are saying - and there are no subtitles (which would benefit me as I am severely hard of hearing) - the close-up filming of the hands working the knitting and demonstrating what to do are excellent.
I particularly love the section demonstrating how to fix a mistake in a cable by dropping stitches and re-knitting the cable instead of taking out several rows of work. I also adore the demonstrations of I-cord techniques and the huge collection of methods of casting on is incredible. The DVD is fully indexed, so it is possible to select any section you wish to watch, or you can just watch it straight through. Either way it's very entertaining and enjoyable.
This is a must for any knitter, particularly if you wish to take the Knitting Masters course.
