Tom, my friendly techno ace, has triumphed again. He's taken a plain video of me steam blocking a finished cushion piece, added some text, some noodly background music, sped up the boring bits and voila! - my first published CalKnits tutorial!
Imaginatively titled "Blocking your Knitted Cushion", it's available to view on YouTube here:

I will be adding a link from my website help and support page later today.
Hot on its heels (as soon as we can get together and edit it) will be the sequel: "Sewing up your Textured Stripe Cushion".
I've done these videos first, as there's lots of really good videos out there already on how to cast on, knit, purl, cast off, intarsia etc, whereas there wasn't much on straightforward steam blocking, and obviously the making up bit is pretty project-specific.
But as ever, if you're stuck on any aspect of a CalKnits project PLEASE get in touch and I'll do my best to help you.
