Messy message
I think I am gonna stay outside of this mess 'cash-or-not'.
Instead of that...I have something to ask. Or confirm...however you see it. You see, the situation is this: I have a pattern. Now I have done the cast on, knitted the 2 knit 2 purl - part and then changed the needles. Then I have done some stockinette. It should be enough now (at least if my measuring is there for me...it should be OK.). Now I should make some bind-offing...(*hopes the term is right*)...and the pattern says I should bind off 8 stitches. After 8 stitches are gone, there should be 64 stitches left. That is what pattern says. If my poor math skills are right, the only way to get this situation is this: First I bind off 4 stitches from another side. Then I knit across untill there is 4 stitches left on another side. Then I knit those 4 stitches together. Is this right thing to do? If not, tell me EXACTLY stitch by stitch what to do in this situation. Best: Pirjo, who is rather sure your help is gonna be needed in the future.... |

Hi Pirjo!
From my experience, unless the pattern specifically says to bind off 4 stitches on each end, you bind them off all at once. My guess is that the directions for the next row tell you to bind off 8 more stitches (is that right?). Can you post the next line from the directions? Anyway, follow the directions exactly. In this case, bind off 8 stitches first, and then knit the rest of the way, all the way to the end. The number of stitches you should have left on your needle to knit at this point should be 64, like the pattern says. What are you working on? Is this pattern for a sweater and you're working on the shoulders?] Allaya "Pirjo Ilvesvuori" wrote in message ... I think I am gonna stay outside of this mess 'cash-or-not'.

Pirjo,
Does your pattern say bind off 4 stitches at the beginning of the row? If so you bind off 4 on the knit row, and 4 on the purl row. No, when you bind off, you do it first on the knit row, then at the beginning of the purl row, not at the end of the knit row. Hope this helps, if not, let me know. Hugs, Aunt Nora |
