These two knitting DVDs will teach you just about everything you could want to know about knitting for a very long time. They can take you from complete beginner ("I've never picked up these stick things before; which end goes into the ball of yarn?") to an incredibly competent, self-assured knitting fanatic. By purchasing this set, you'll save $5 off our already low price.

Not convinced? Here's what you'll get in more than two hours of instruction of each DVD, in excruciating detail:
