current sock knitting projects! The left is in KnitCrate’s June Sock Crate yarn in the pattern My Fergus Socks from ravelry. The right is KnitCrate’s May Sock Crate yarn in the pattern Leaf on the Wind from ravelry. Both are coming along nicely but I haven’t done much with either of them bc I became a bit lace-obsessed for a while!

Back to Socks tho! I love them.

(sorry for the crappy lighting in the photos I had to use the flash on my phone)

Yet another #newknittingproject on the needles! This one is the #oldworldshawl from #ravelry and is knit in more #jojolandharmony from #momosknittingnook here in town. I’ve become obsessed with lace knitting lately! #knitting #knittingproject #myprojects

Cozy Elastic Bind Off for #lifeiscozy_tutorials ➰ 

Happy and a bit nervous to share my self-invented technique with you ☺️ 

I was searching for a way to bind off the ribbing that would give me a very elastic yet not too loose edge and could be performed without the grafting needle. This search ended up with the invention of this method, which is actually a combination of several bind off techniques.
I love to use it for all kinds of cuffs, as exept for the elasticity it also has a very nice braid-like edge that polishes the look of a garment ✨ 

Both the video and the instructions are for 1×1 ribbing. But this bind off can be also used for any other ribbing (2×2, 3×1, etc.) – just repeat the part for knit and purl stitches the desired number of times. 

WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS 

———————————————- 

If your ribbing round/row starts with a knit stitch:
1. k1
2. p1, pass the last st from the right needle over
3. k1, slip 2sts from the right needle back to the left needle
4. k2tog tbl
Repeat 2-4 until all the sts are worked.
