"This deluxe edition's suggested retail price is $24.95, which is really a bargain when you consider that you're getting both the book and all that video instruction...Even for those who have some knitting experience, the book is a great reference for some of those things you might not always remember how to do and the videos are kind of fun to watch or at least listen to as you go about other things. You might just learn something or be inspired to try a technique you hadn't considered before." --About.com
"Interweave Press has a good thing going with the “Companion” 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

The Knitters Companion book and cd

I love this set. I have the book by my knitting chair, and upstairs on my computer is the cd. Sometimes a book just doesnt show clearly what you need to do...the cd fits the need. I cant tell you how helpful it is from casting on, to wrap and turn, to making a nice tassel...if you think you know something...review it and you might find a better and neater way of making your project. This is well worth the money for any skill level you might be.
