"I Can't Believe..." DVDs

All you've ever needed to learn to knit or crochet was for someone to sit down and walk you through the motions, right? Now there's a pro as close as your DVD player, ready to help at any time of day!

Meet Melissa Leapman, the renowned designer and host of I Can't Believe I'm Knitting in Motion and I Can't Believe I'm Crocheting in Motion DVDs from Leisure Arts. She provides expert, up-close demonstrations that you can pause, rewind, or fast-forward as you stitch along with her. There are even special instructions for left-handed crocheters.

Besides teaching the basics, Melissa takes you through every step of making three easy projects (the knit DVD has a clutch, a baby hat, and a scarf, while the crochet edition has a purse, a belt, and a scarf). She even shares important tips and advice at every opportunity.

Inspired by our best-selling how-to books, I Can't Believe I'm Knitting and I Can't Believe I'm Crocheting, the DVDs use the latest technology to make your learning experience so much easier. With Auto-Pause, you're always in control; you set your own pace for finishing each step. The convenient A-Z Index lets you go directly to the topic you need. And the Troubleshooting Guide helps you breeze through common beginner challenges; it's like having Melissa sitting by your side!

WHO CAN THESE DVDs BENEFIT?

If one of the following descriptions fits you, then these DVDs are just what you need:

  • You've always thought knit or crochet looked too hard for you to learn, so you've never tried it.
  • You've always wanted to learn, but you've never been able to fit a class into your busy schedule.
  • Friends, family, or someone at your local yarn store started teaching you, but you gave up when you had a problem and they weren't there to help.
  • You actually learned enough once to knit or crochet a scarf or other simple item, but you've been afraid to tackle anything different.
  • You learned to knit or crochet years ago but haven't done much lately, so you need a refresher course or you'd like to expand your skills.

Whatever your situation, these DVDs will help you gain the confidence and ability you need to pursue your passion for knitting and crochet!
