Learning from a Master

It wouldn't be right to talk about knitting DVDs without mentioning the wonderful "Knitting Workshop" DVD from Schoolhouse Press, a six-hour companion to Elizabeth Zimmermann's Knitting Workshop book.

The DVD presents three lessons in four parts each, which take knitters from the basics of knitting and purling to designing and knitting colorful sweaters and working lace knitting.

The aim of the series is to give knitters confidence to try new things, to take control of their knitting and to forge ahead without fear. While the production of the series if very, very homemade, it's still immensely fun to watch and to feel like you're learning at the feet -- and from the needles -- of a true master of our craft.
