I think that eHow should have videos or some kind of photo so that people can see how projects are supposed to look before, during and after they are finished. For example, How to Make a No-Sew Fleece Baby Blanket above; the method is not conceivable in my mind on how it looks. Nor how it should look while making the blanket. I find eHow very helpful in many cooking recipes because you get an idea on how the dish should look. Please consider adding videos or photos to help readers see what a project should look like. Thank you.
