So I took it out and used a yarn-over bind off: Knit 1 stitch, *yarn-over, pass stitch over yo & off the needled, knit 1 stitch pass stitch over and off the needle. repeat from * until no stitches remain. This gave a much looser edge with more stretch than the stretchy bind-off you used. <blockquote>The bind off you speak of is new to me. I am going to try it quickly though, because it sounds great! That is why we do this together! Thanks so much!</blockquote> DK — I used this bind-off for my stole and found it to give me a much tighter edge that I felt was needed for blocking the stole.

The bind off you speak of is new to me. I am going to try it quickly though, because it sounds great! That is why we do this together! Thanks so much!

I feel just like your first 'commenter' ... that's the only bind-off I've used for years, for most things! (Taught to me by Sivia Harding during a Moebius workshop). Thanks for your comment on my finished stole -- I'd like to say I thoroughly enjoyed knitting it, but I'd be lying. ;-) I *did*, however, thoroughly enjoy the learning experience, and I definitely like the finished product!

I usually use a needle several sizes larger than what I knit with. but I thinkI'll try this one. I wonder how this compares to using a much larger needle to bind off?

I guess I've been using the "stretchy bind off" like that. Now I feel all fancy about it, since it's actually an Official Bind-Off, and not just something I did by winging it! (Can't wait to see the finished stole. I'm up to Hint #5 on mine now!) … there’s a name for that? I guess I’ve been using the “stretchy bind off” like that.
