Review
Interweave Press has a good thing going with the CompanionA" series of fiber crafts books (The Crocheter's Companion ). This edition improves further on the 2006 version by adding two instructional DVDs featuring techniques highlighted in the book. This is still an excellent ready reference for a variety of knitting techniques, including cast-ons, bind-offs, finishing, and other basics. The illustrations are as helpful as ever, but the demonstrations on the DVDs show knitters exactly what they should be doing. Every knitting collection needs a reference; this one is affordable and accessible.-Library Journal USA

Contact Amazon to make sure DVD issue is fixed., Dec 28 2010

This review is from: The Knitter's Companion Deluxe Edition w/DVD (Hardcover-spiral)
I ordered this THREE times. This comes with two DVD's. The first Disk under the SEAMING chapter sub chapter "Kitchner" FREEZES 48 seconds into the topic.First order, saw the problem, returned and was sent a replacement.
Second order, same exact problem in the exact same place. Contacted Amazon, I was refunded of course. Amazon took this off the selling page for a short period of time (less than a week). I noticed it back on the selling page, I inquired Amazon directly to find out if the problem had been fixed.
I was assured it had been taken care of, and to go ahead and order another copy of the Knitting Companion book with 2 DVD's. They would pay the shipping.
I was so pleased that the problem was handled so quickly. I ordered the THIRD copy, need I say more.
Yes, the so called repaired or fixed copy, has the EXACT SAME DVD ISSUE.
So I recommend highly, to verify if this is indeed rectified.
Otherwise it's a great book, and if paying for the DVD's they should work properly.

save time, read before you knit, Jan 21 2011
By K. Platt "blackplantlady" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Knitter's Companion Deluxe Edition w/DVD (Hardcover-spiral)
More than 250,000 copies sold of previous editions. This new expanded and revised edition comes with two DVD's. I must say first impression was - it's small. Very compact, I was expecting something bigger. I have not had the previous editions so cannot comment on those. The 'In Preparation' page brought a smile - Vicki suggests a nail file as handy for stopping rough nails catching yarn - how true, but I doubt that anyone else would have put it in a list of supplies for knitting. She has obviously thought of everything. There is some good information here that I have not found elsewhere and I have been knitting for over forty years. It's handy and could save the knitter a lot of time. I like the section on sizing. Techniques including stitches and finishing, increasing and decreasing, cables and charts are clearly shown and illustrated as well as written. There is also a handy knitting and needle gauge. What a bonus this is for the knitter, especially the beginner. This review first appeared on Karen Platt's book review website.

The Knitters Companion is compact, easy to carry along with my knitting, has reliable information and is comprehensive in it's instruction. This will replace most of the knitting instruction books that I have on the shelf.
