THE LIBRARY NOW HAS DVD’s
Thanks to Sue Wise, six new DVD’s have been added to our library, so you can watch the box and learn about knitting while you’re knitting! Or have a nice relaxing meeting while you watch a dvd and a have cup of tea.
Knitting Around DVD – Elizabeth Zimmerman
The ever popular Knitting Around, companion media to Elizabeth's Knitting Around book, is now available on DVD. Contains Twelve lessons including: The Moccasin Sock, Fair Isle Yoke Sweater, Knitted Dickeys (useful samplers for learning to knit short row garter-stitch corners, a technique that can be used for larger garments), the original Knitted Moebius, The Bog Jacket, The Pie Are Square Shawl, A Norwegian Pullover, A Mittful of Mittens and An Aran Coat (two lessons.) Cully has also added a voice segment of Elizabeth reading her digressions (written in Knitting Around), along with a slideshow of over 400 EZ photographs & watercolors, many of them not previously in print.
Knitting Workshop DVD - Elizabeth Zimmermann
The lessons originally aired on PBS, from beginnings (casting on, increasing, decreasing and color work) to Master classes (aran and fair isle sweaters, shoulder shapings, steeks and more) edited by Cully Swansen with additional commentary from Meg about EZ.
DVD - Learn to knit seamless colorwork – Courntey Kelly and Kate Gagnon
Discuss traditional Fair Isle techniques and explore Fair Isle knitting in the Bristish Isles, the history of the Icelandic yoke pullover, Selbu and Bohus knitting, and more. Learn to knit projects using historical techniques, such as how to tack long floats, purling in Fair Isle, and how the choices you make can affect the overall designs. See projects for each demonstration that celebrates both the historical past of the needle arts but is classic or contemporary enough for today's fashions.
