For those of you bothered by the fact that this isn't a "how to" video, she says in the beginning she isn't going to do it slowly and to add, this is just a video so you can see all of the steps in her other tutorials combined (read video info). She has videos (as well as other's on YT) on how to do each step (Cast On/Knit Stitch/ Purl Stitch). Rather than bashing someone's "teaching method", you should find a video that suits you. Everyone learns best in their own way.

I think it's an excellent job! Yes, she goes a little quick, but with any common sense and a Rewind, Fast Forward, and Pause button, anyone SHOULD be able to follow along. There aren't many 12 min long video's that explain the knit. I added you as a favorite! Thanks for your time...ignore the negative.

you need to change the title. this is not a video for beginning orientation.

@goldfinger490 no sweety maybe the whole video is a FAILURE and that's why you have 138 negative votes..!!!!!! and as i read , i'm not the one who complained for the video's speed... of course i'm talking about those comments you haven't removed yet... let me guess..you keep only the positive comments...unfortunately you cannot remove the votes too... so in case you remove my comment too..i 'll give you a negative vote ...just in case..!soooo 138+1 = 139... i'm soo sorry...!!!! :)

@Tulamarie1 Breaking it down to stages of skill level and one for extras. sorry having glitches with comp.

@daphilbin I agree the operative word is beginner here. The title  should have the work advanced or intermediate instead. I've seen too many videos that are titled wrong. Beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Then another for patterns.

I'm trying to knit my first scarf and this is not the video to teach me. I've gone back twenty times and it's just too fast. While this might be helpful to someone else, its definitely not for the newbee.
