I'm very proud to announce that my DesignaKnit CD, DOING DAK, is ready for sale. I worked on it for several months. Basically it's a book, not a video, with seven projects, many (60+) stitch patterns to use with these and any other projects and a chapter with common questions answered. It's 89 pages of info, the book viewable with a Mac or PC. Through doing the projects you learn the ins and outs of DAK. I guess I realized how much work writing a book is, but did not really understand that it was THIS much work. It was fun, though, and I've gotten a lot of positive comments about its usefulness from those who already bought it. It's especially helpful for people new to the program and also for people who purchased the program and gave up on it along the way. The projects are nifty, if I do say so myself.
Whenever I've learned something new, I find that I learn best by doing, not just reading. Hence the approach in the CD is to have you do projects to learn DAK. The added benefit is that you'll have something to show for your efforts!
If you are interested, you can purchase through PayPal and I will mail the CD to you via US post. It's too large to email it to you. Email me if you'd rather make some arrangement other than Pay Pal. The cost is $25.00 which includes postage inside the USA. Email me for other postage.

I am a novice machine knitter and keep looking at DAK and then going off the idea of it because it always seems difficult and problematic to use whenever I read about. I did join the DAK group on Ravelry but many people spoke against rather than for it. It's so expensive that it's not something I can just try and then never use if I don't like it.
Obviously you make good use of it.

Hi Rachael,
I know a lot of people have difficulty with DAK. I personally love the program and love the fact that I can download patterns to my machines. The investment is not small, but it's not so outrageous compared to what people spend on other hobbies. or booze, or gambling, food, etc. Goofy comparison, but it's true for many people.
