Whats on the cutting table this week?

So, this week is going to be another one of those marathon video weeks for CyberSeams. I get requests all the time, and LOVE it - because many times people send in ideas of things I just wouldn't come up with. It works for me: gives me ideas, and it works for them: they get to see what they're asking to see.

So, if anyone has a topic request for a tutorial that includes either sewing, knitting or a craft project (or a combination thereof) please feel free to drop us a line!

So, what's on the cutting table right now? Well, we're working on tutorials for the following subjects: Knitting using the Continental Stitch method, Knitted Cast-On, and some hand sewing techniques.

In the not-too-immediate future, we've got more sewing-clothing tutorials. Some projects are ready for filming, but with such a hectic schedule lately, I'm having a little difficulty finding time to commit to them right this moment, so I'm not willing to make a commitment for the release date. I'm hoping they will be coming out in the next 2 months though - just in time for spring!

I'd like to thank everyone for taking time to check out the site and offer suggestions. My whole goal is to serve YOU, so I appreciate constructive feedback and notes of encouragement! Have a great week, everyone!
