The Art of Knitting 4 Kids Knit Starter Kit
The fun and easy way for kids to learn to knit—the DVD way! This kit will inspire the kids to learn a skill that will last them a lifetime. Studies have shown that knitting:
• Helps kids concentrate
• Increases motor skills
• Develops hand-eye coordination
• Is a great confidence builder
Appropriate for ages 5 and up, the kit contains an instructional DVD, knitting needles, and enough yarn to get the fun started (about 60 yards). The 99-minute DVD provides three ways to learn:
1. Dr. Elizabeth Seward, PH.D, entertains kids with a unique, animated story while teaching them to knit and make their own knitting needles.
2. Kids Teaching Kids—Every kid will be inspired watching 7-year-old Ryan Anderson as he teaches the basics of knitting.
3. Marcy Levitas Hamilton, knitting instructor and producer, takes the kids through an easy-to-knit ball and toy Stitch-Along.
And, as a bonus, kids will have fun visiting The Alpaca Ranch to learn how yarn is made.
No Rules Knitting at the Teen Knit Caf Knit Starter Kit
The fun way for teens to learn to knit—the DVD way! The beginner-level kit contains a 98-minute instructional DVD, knitting needles, and enough yarn to get the creativity started (about 60 yards). With only two stitches to learn and "shoulder-to-shoulder" instruction from Chelsea Povall, this DVD will have teens knitting their first projects tonight. Each step is shown up-close and in motion, and an A-Z index makes topics quick to find. The DVD features loads of beginner projects:
• iPod case
• scarves
• wrist, ear, and leg warmers
• bracelet and matching ring
• messenger bag
• lip balm holder
• cushy rug
• hats
• cuddly throw
• so-cute doggy coat
• and more!
The DVD also includes fun bonus material—The Teen Knit Caf gang custom dyeing yarn with Kool-Aid , making knitting needle toppers from clay, and experimenting with needle felting!
I Can't Believe I'm Knitting! in Motion Knit Starter Kit
Even if you've never touched a pair of needles, you'll be saying, "I can't believe I'm knitting!" in no time with this DVD starter kit. The beginner-level kit contains a 100-minute instructional DVD, knitting needles, and enough yarn to get the creativity started (about 60 yards). The user-friendly Auto-Pause lets you set your own pace through the lessons. Other convenient features include an A-Z Index, Reference Library, and Trouble-shooting Guide. The DVD will make you feel like you have your own personal instructor available 24 hours a day! Designer/teacher Melissa Leapman hosts and provides step-by-step lessons that new knitters can put into practice immediately with our yarn and needles. Before you know it, you'll be ready to start on the easy scarf or spa cloth, or you can follow the Stitch-Along instructions for a basket weave purse, ladder scarf, or toddler hat.
I Can't Believe I'm Crocheting! in Motion Crochet Starter Kit
Become a believer as designer and nationally acclaimed workshop leader Melissa Leapman takes the mystery out of crochet. Like having a personal instructor at your side, this introductory DVD kit will have you crocheting with confidence in just a few hours. Lefties, too!

The user-friendly Auto-Pause lets you set your own pace through the lessons. Other convenient features include an A-Z Index, Reference Library, Trouble-shooting Guide, and Tips. New crocheters can get started immediately on a simple spa cloth, or follow the Stitch-Along instructions as Melissa goes row by row making a belt, openwork scarf, or granny square mini purse.
