It's not as spectacular as some say it is. Sure it shows you the knit and purl stitch but it lacks content when it comes to the "fixing your mistakes" section. She doesn't address KEY issues. What good is it if you knit something and you can't fix your mistakes. Why bother trying right? She only shows 1 version of "correcting your mistakes" when there are many ways to make a certain mistake. It all depends on what stitch your trying to correct, it might be in the front, back, middle etc. I think you really need to have an actual person to show you how to knit. It took me a solid week to figure out how to do the knit stitch because you can't see what's behind her hands on a TV and she doesn't address where the yarn is supposed to be when you start. I was also counting on the "Tips and Advise" section of the DVD....guess what it was only 45 seconds long. When she made this DVD she should have gone to a beginner knitting and ask her what questions that person has and put THAT in the DVD. I have to find another DVD that explains everything to me. I would really look for a DVD that has all the content you need and not just how to do the knit and purl stitch.
