	Intarsia Untangled 1 (2 hours 27 mins), 978-0-9782898-3-6 K	Intarsia knitting, despite its (highly undeserved) poor reputation, can in fact be enjoyable and yield wonderful results. On this disc: we look at preparation for serene knitting, tackling the first few rows, reading charts, tangle reduction and resolution. Learn also how to maximize the number of ends that may be knitted in and to make the best use of those tails which do require darning. Also included are a number of cool rescue techniques.
	Intarsia Untangled 2 (2 hours 22 mins), 978-0-9782898-5-0 L	Now that you enjoy intarsia, here are some sophisticated skills to help you tackle special situations: long horizontal colour jumps without breaking the yarn or having to think ahead, as well as a selection of slick tricks to make life easier. Explore textured stitches within colour blocks, sculpted shapes and how to analyze patterns to see what lies ahead.
	Finesse Your Knitting 2 (2 hours 17 mins), 978-0-9782898-4-3 M	Expert shoulder shapings and various joins, setting-in fitted sleeve heads with ease. Experience the exquisite joys of double bands: knitting-up the stitches (right first time, every time), equalizing the two sides, adding shaping to the corners of the bands, and reversing for the inner layer, and how these principles may be applied to neck and armband situations.
