By Kay Gardiner and Ann ShayneIn Search of a Loose Bind Off
Dear Problem Ladies, I’m a fairly tight knitter. I’m also a sock knitter, and I am having a really hard time finding a bind off that is stretchy enough for toe up socks. I’ve tried several, but so far none are stretchy enough. Help!
Dear Help!
We don’t know if you’ve tried this one, but it’s the one we always use, for sock cuffs and also for binding off lace shawls which is another situation where you don’t want a tight bind off, because it distorts the edge. Here you go: k2,*bind off 1, slip bound off stitch back onto left needle, k2; repeat from *  Knit Strong! Keep those cards and letters coming in to problemladies@twistcollective.com. Write a letter that Kay and Ann choose to answer in the summer issue and we'll send you a Twist Collective tape measure.
