Lena demonstrates continental knitting; she does not teach the technique. She shows how she holds the yarn and how to make the knit and purl stitches. She then moves on to demonstrating other knit techniques that most any knitter with even minimum experience already knows. There are no skill building or finger exercises to assist in learning how to hold needles and/or yarn. What she demonstrates is available free on numerous YouTube channels (other people of course). I crochet and knit (English style) I wanted more help with the different (continental) knitting technique and this video didn't come close to providing that. Unless you feel you must have the knitted hoodie sweater pattern, I would pass on this class/DVD. Very disappointed!

As a beginning knitter, this video made so many more things make sense! It gave me confidence to try so many more techniques. Lena is a good teacher.

I enjoyed the DVD it was very easy to follow. I have switched my regular knitting to Continental knitting. I look forward to trying pattern on the CD that was included.

I found the video easy to follow. Being able to watch it many times was very helpful. I am used to English knitting, so I know the basics. I'm sure anyone will find this most enjoyable and helpful.
