I prefer not having a cast-off edge that might rub, and I find the "surprisingly stretchy" cast offs ruffle unflatteringly with my tension.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05280070487028097635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-33888612334835320172017-11-07T12:07:15.750+00:002017-11-07T12:07:15.750+00:00I learn so much here.

Now, of course, you could look back on your blog for pics of FOs. I enjoy being able to look up Ravelry project pages - my own as well as other peoples. Some people, not me, keep very detailed notes of modifications on there too.shandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17372329387935318023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-60106353658920729962017-11-06T22:17:29.818+00:002017-11-06T22:17:29.818+00:00I find Jenny's bind off a little too stretchy....I find Jenny's bind off a little too stretchy. For K2,P2 rib I usually bind off in pattern ensuring the stitch is loose before I knit or purl the next stitch. Hope this makes sense. <br />Others swear by the tubular bind off, but admit I'm too lazy for it!<br />P.S.

I use the knit 2 tog. through the back loops most of the time. There is a stretchier version, but I have to do it on a smaller needle to avoid floppiness. Your knitting archives are so much better organized than mine!Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588244535423212079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-13524378031545034872017-11-06T21:35:30.466+00:002017-11-06T21:35:30.466+00:00Works for K2 P2 as well I seem to remember.Works for K2 P2 as well I seem to remember.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16325882776854785490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-15450503061427025262017-11-06T21:33:42.727+00:002017-11-06T21:33:42.727+00:00Google Jenny's surprisingly stretchy bind off....Google Jenny's surprisingly stretchy bind off.
