Lucy Neatby's "Knitting Essentials" DVDs Launch at The Loop!

Please join us on Saturday, August 26th for the launch of Lucy Neatby’s much-anticipated instructional DVDs Knitting Essentials I & II.

Lucy will be at The Loop from noon to 4:00 PM to answer questions and sign copies. There will be door prizes galore, including copies of the DVD, Lucy’s wonderful book Cool Socks, Warm Feet, Celestial Yarns , Loop tote bags and more!



The Knitting Essentials DVDs are sure to be a hit with knitters of all levels, and are destined to become an essential part of the 21st century knitter’s reference library. Using her characteristic wit and uncanny insight into the mechanics of knitting, this internationally-renowned knitting designer and teacher demonstrates a wide range of useful techniques. The discs are organized into detailed, step-by-step lessons and are indexed for quick reference.



Knitting Essentials I
In Knitting Essentials I you will learn to control your cast-ons, work innovative bind-off methods, use different types of increases and decreases, make use of terrific finishing techniques, and "read" your knitting. This great resource contains more than 2 hours of valuable knitting information. It's like a private lesson with Lucy whenever you need one!



Knitting Essentials II
Knitting Essentials II builds on the basics and will help you knit like a pro by mastering provisional edges, circular knitting, steeks, grafting and more! This helpful companion is packed with 2 and a half hours of knitter's-eye-view lessons and indispensable tips.

See you at The Loop on Saturday, August 26th!

Mimi, Cathy and Bill
