Goldilocks Book & 2 DVDs Diana Sullivan Bulky Patterns!

Description

Goldilocks Challenge Book & 2-DVD Set
The Goldilocks packages are finished - and finally for sale!  Diana Sullivan began the Goldilocks Challenge in her blog in November 2010 and promised that if beginners would get an Ultimate Sweater Machine or other flatbed Japanese bulky machine, she'd show them how to make fantastic gifts for Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear!
The gift items use worsted yarn on either an Ultimate Sweater Machine or a Japanese bulky machine.   The book contains plenty of sizes, detailed instructions, and is jammed with important machine knitting technique lessons, as well.  There are two DVDs in the set, and filled with hours of hi-def, actual how-to video footage - Diana's hands-and-needles approach to teaching machine knitting!
There are hours of video, but the video clips at the end of this listing give a brief sample of the kind of up-close teaching that is included on the DVDs.

The Goldilocks Challenge was all about urging non-machine knitters to try the craft, and therefore, this package contains a tremendous amount of material to help beginners learn to make great-looking knits.  In addition, these designs are recipes for success for other knitters who want excellent patterns for their bulky machines.  Therefore, the DVDs and book cover cast-ons, bind-offs, two types of latched ribbing, two methods of doing a small buttonhole, and short-rowing.
You can gain personal satisfaction with a solid understanding of how to sew your knitting together so it looks great.  Let's aim for blue-ribbon finishing techniques, finishing that's "just right," as Goldilocks would say.  With that in mind, as much video detail as possible is included to show finishing, and mattress and Kitchener seaming instructions and diagrams have been included.
