Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Chatty and informal
It's great fun to just watch EZ teach almost everything she knows about knitting and wool. The set-up was very informal, with Meg off to the side giving EZ cues and tossing her a sweater to demonstrate. I sometimes watch the video just for the company of EZ.
