Movie Reviews of Knitting: The Baby Surprise Jacket
Movie Review: Baby Surprise Sweater DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I knew I wanted to try knitting the Baby Surprise Sweater but I hestitated to invest in this DVD for a long while. Since the pattern is nowhere to be found free (unless you go to the library and borrow Elizabeth Zimmerman's book) I finally took the plunge and ordered the DVD.
Why didn't I just borrow the book? I don't particularly like Elizabeth Zimmerman's "style" of writing, and I knew with such an unorthodox pattern, I would need help or end up pulling my hair out.
I am extremely happy with the DVD! Meg Swansen does a wonderful job guiding us through each step of the sweater. The DVD is about an hour and a half long and has 28 Chapters. Once more, the entire session is filmed outdoors in a wooded section that is so relaxing to watch.
I am now a 'fan' of this pattern, and look forward to knitting many many more!
So if you are hesitating, please don't any longer!
I would venture to say that it takes the confusion out of knitting this sweater, and once you have cast off all stitches, you need a visual guide to show you how to fold your misshapen fabric so it forms sleeves, a back, and front, that only needs shoulder seams stitched. You get this visuality on the DVD.
I made minor mistakes but the finished product is still usable. You can see photos here: [...]
