Suggestions for future instructional videos

Now that I'm finished with my Learn To Knit Socks video series, I am ready to tackle some new projects. I would love suggestions!

Here is what I already have on my list

Mittens - I will be using DPNs and a two-color pattern. I haven't chosen the pattern yet.

Understanding a sock pattern using either DPNs or Magic Loop

Designing basics for an Aran Sweater - How to plan out placement of cables.

That's all I have now so please give me some more ideas!

Comment by Diane Stump on November 15, 2009 at 5:14pm: Please post a glove knitting video. I have searched the web as well as various stores and cannot find any videos that teach how to add a thumb and fingers. Help! Many people are visual learners and need that visual aid.

Comment by Bonnie Smith Ries on November 12, 2009 at 1:19pm: I'm completely flustered with how to "pick up" stitches for glove fingers. I'd love to see a video on that one. Thanks!

XOXOXOXO

Comment by Aurita on November 12, 2009 at 6:53am: I vote for how to plan an aran sweater. I have always wanted to do one, but need encouragmenet

Comment by Delia Cummings on November 11, 2009 at 6:06am: Gloves, please! I've knit enough mittens for an army. I would love to see someone doing all those fingers.

Comment by Karen Lambert on November 10, 2009 at 2:16pm: I would like to see some tutorials on steeking and adding sleeves to a sweater.

Comment by Sybil K on November 9, 2009 at 5:30am: It would be neat to have a "basic/intermediate/advanced knitting mathematics" I write most of my own patterns using gauges and swatches but it would be nice to have more in depth instructions...

Comment by Amy Green on November 8, 2009 at 9:30pm: How about some videos concerning tension and holding the yarn? Us knewbies in the Learn to Knit KAL have been asking alot of questions....lol

Comment by knitstertoo on November 8, 2009 at 11:00am: I just received my Arden Bag Kit and am seeing some new techniques in it. 1. stranded stockinette stockinette stitch for my gauge; 2. steek and cutting my steek - cut into my knitting HELP - NO IT CANNOT BE 3. felting, I have never done any felting. This would be great for a video tutorial rather than/ or in addition to a KAL. With a video tutorial knitters can just knit with you and see it done.
I love my Nonna KAL, but many of us, myself included, have put our girl aside for various reasons.

I shall probably think about beginning my bag in less than two weeks. Please do the video tutorial.

Comment by LesleyRN on November 7, 2009 at 4:58pm: I'm with the folks who would like to alter or design patterns - I'm a slave to the pattern and would like to break free!! I'm an advanced knitter when it comes to execution, but I'm a true novice when it comes to deviating!!

Comment by rlaba51 on November 6, 2009 at 10:43pm: How about a video on how to read and follow charts? Are there special tips or ways to make them easier? Any ideas on how to demystify them? I can't figure out a chart to save my life! To me they are just a bunch of jibberish! Maybe your clear and concise teaching would help?
