Customer Reviews for Learn Continental Knitting

I am soooo happy I signed up for this class. It is a new beginning for me as I am an English knitter and find this a brand new experience. As a newbie I am fumbling however know I it is a learning curve and I am improving and impressed with the presentation and the simplicity and ease of Lena's teaching method. She knows her art. I watch the video often and continue to the sweater project. I would highly recommend this class and would not hesitate to purchase other classes she teaches. Linda L

This is a great course and the photography/video is easy to follow. Because I have always been an "English-style" knitter, tI stayed away from stranded knitting except mosaic knitting. This video has opened more options to me and makes stranded knitting so much easier. Thanks to Lena for all of her expertise and to Annie's for making the class available.

This was a great class. Lena does a great job of showing you everything! I am a very very beginner knitter. Experienced crocheter and that is why I wanted to learn the continental as I figured that would be easier to learn. I am still learning, but it is so nice to be able to go back and watch all of her steps. The continuous repeat is wonderful. But I also love how she gives you other techniques you will need for when you master the knitting part of it. Love the class!

When I looked at the picture of the Nordkapp Hoodie on the video, I honestly didn't believe that I was going to be able to do it.
I am new to knitting and my first "language" is crochet. However, Lena's instructions were very clear and her delivery was so encouraging. I enjoyed being able to go back and review different parts of the video (it was helpful to go back to the beginning excerpts as the class project progressed), to add annotations - such as the time counter where different steps were presented and to take notes. I am thrilled with my completed hoodie and am definitely going to make another one in a different color. Yes, I made mistakes, but they are mistakes that I have learned how to improve my knitting from and mistakes that only I can see in the sweater. Thanks again!

Combination of great instruction and filming make this class easy to follow. After knitting English-style for 52 years, it won't be easy to make the switch to continental but I am determined. The fair isle instruction also is well done. Very happy with my purchase.

Very informative, I have a better understanding of continental knitting. It really help me a lot. Loved the techniques.

I liked the video. Don't think you can knit like her right away! It takes a lot of practise but I think it's going to be great once I get onto it!

Not an experienced knitter--self taught and know only knit and purl stitches. Have watched the entire video and am looking forward to learning other stitches. Really enjoy her techniques teaching methods.

This class is excellent. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn to knit the continental way. I usually knit English style and have tried knitting continental style but I often experienced getting twisted stitches when attempting to do so. I also found it awkward to knit the purl stitch in the continental style.
Ms Skavergson's teaching style was easy to follow and helped me greatly to finally be able to knit the continental way with no twisted stitches. I am able to finally knit the purl stitch with much ease. My tension on the stitches is much more even too. I also am able to knit faster as that was my reason for wanting to learn knitting in the continental style. Currently I am working on the sweater project and so far it's looking really good . I already finished the body of the sweater and one of the sleeves and just started knitting the second sleeve. I've knitted the cable swatch to practice as well and used it as a panel for a blanket. I am looking forward to knit the intarsia swatch. I might use it as a panel for a blanket as well. Once again, excellent class!
