#knit bind off

[ezekiellsplayground]

The long awaited double knitted twisted rib bind off method is finally here! Big shout out to the genius in my fibre community who developed this method for me and graciously allowed it to be shared. Happy knitting!

I need one of those alleged "pick up artists" to come get these damn stitches because clearly I do not have what it takes

urghhhh i just finished this very cute cowl i was knitting, and bound off using the bind-off they recommended as being nicely elastic (sewn bind-off; p2 on the needle, k1 off the needle). instead, it’s just loose, and the top edge has kind of mushroomed as a result:

i’m going to have to rip it out and redo it (including probably doing back a row or three of ribbing because the yarn will be messed up). blergh.

anyone got any idea for good elastic bind-offs that are actually elastic, rather than just Loose?

Favorite part of sock knitting, especially if im knitting around someone else. 10 spikes no clear fabric and everything looks like it's about to fall out. It literally scares people so bad when I tell them I'm just knitting a sock lol

Me: yes, almost done with the mallorn shawl, now to bind off! I'm sure there'll be no problem!

Me: . . . Why the fuck is it telling me to bind off nine stitches if there are only two on the needle!?

I'm not even making this up. The chart literally has you decreasing until two, and then the next row has seven added stitches to bind off. No clue where they're coming from and why. Am I supposed to pick up and bind off down the side of the leaf to the next leaf edge? Quite possibly.

Really wish the instructions are more clear on that.

I'm going to bed. My head can scream about it as I sleep.

No shade towards Jenny, but Jenny‘s surprisingly stretchy bind-off is surprisingly unstretchy.Do I have to take anything particular into consideration with this technique? Anyone got any tips or has any expirience? Otherwise I‘m back to my usual bind-off 🤨

starting the last row of this shawl before the bind off. i'm having such a great time with this thing that i'm probably going to start another shawl immediately, but i am also very excited to be done because i've had it on the needles since 2020

the second dish towel’s bind off is too tight but (suspected) pmdd is kicking my ass so you know what fuck the second dish towel i can’t even bring myself to care if it looks a bit messed up

Have you ever been working on a project and then hit a wall so hard you had to learn two other crafts to get unstuck?

Anyway, after 5 months, a loom, and several crochet projects I'm finally back to finish knitting my shawl.

[devilishbird]

test of affection between people who knit: would you work an italian bind off over a long edge for me?

Its show drop off day here, so we had a very late night getting ready. She's definitely not finished lmao, but bound off! I even got a light block in, my first time blocking anything. Haven't sewn all the ends in but that's okay

She's bigger than I thought and I'm so so happy with her :)

When trying a complicated bind off doesn't work

Triangle/circle shawl pros: Start off with quick rows to ease you into it with frequent sense of achievement, working up to longer challenges as you settle in.

Cons: Binding off for a million years
