Fair enough!
What about non-frame (or even hoop) finishing techniques? They could probably all go together in one place, though. :D
Hm... Leave it to the guide makers discretion!

Someone else may have signed up to do this, but I added an explanation of DPI/PPI and fabric count to my guide.
It's hard to cover image resizing without having these explained, and that's the section I'm going to write next.

I planned to have the Photoshop resizing guide done by now but one of my classes is only half a term in length which means I've had a ton of readings >.< and not much time for extra curricular writing. Life, comes first, then crafting fun.

@Lord Libidan - Just wanted to let it be known officially that I will also be making an Advanced Techniques Guide for Amigurumi (including making your own patterns), I'm just super busy making what feels like a million dolls before my next convention in April. :banghead: Hopefully I should have it finished before, or at least no later than, May. :nod
