In show #401 the Expert Knitting Daily Squad shows you that you can learn and practice new techniques easily and fearlessly on baby items.

Eunny shows us how to “unknit” or tink and reassures saying “It’s only yarn!” And in their “Fearless Knitting” segment they cover from the top down cardigans and pullovers and diagonal knitting.

Show #402 shows how to take simple knits and make them special with techniques such as embroidery and covering buttons. Shay is on location discussion “Fashion Forward” knitting using classic and timeless patterns, and Lily Chin discusses reversible cables.

Show #403 is entitled Knit and Purl Magic. This show blows out the stops with Eunny demonstrating differences betweeen Continental and English knitting (or picking and throwing).  She also shows how different combinations of these two different stitches (knit and purl) are used to create the beautiful textures in cables, ribbings and basketweave stitches. The “Fearless Knitting” segment discusses garter stitch in the round and mitering corners.

Stay tuned, yes, there will be a giveaway, but right now, I’m going back to watch more shows! If you don’t want to wait for the giveaway, this excellent series can be had right now, in the Interweave Store: http://www.interweavestore.com/Knitting/Video/Knitting-Daily-TV-Series-400.html

This time it’s by Eunny Jang from Knitting Daily. What is it? What is it?

Well, patience, my pets. It’s the DVD: Introduction to Fair Isle: The Ivy League Vest.  Learn simple to advanced techniques with this DVD.

Eunny demos the Progressive Project: the Ivy League Vest, a Fair Isle colorwork pattern designed by Eunny. Knit along with Eunny on this modern design with classic construction elements. The first lesson will be a 2-color corrugated ribbing (Episode 307), the second lesson in knitting in the round with the colorwork pattern (Episode 308), and finally steeking the vest for a perfect fit (Episode 309).

And in return, I want to know what your favorite Interweave Knitting pattern is.

I’m very anxious to see this new DVD, as I’m, with my antique, restored, castle wheel, trying to figure out how to spin exotic stuff like silk, cotton, and siberian husky fur. You know, the “other than wool” stuff. And these technique DVDs are awesome.
