Knitting: Binding Off
You have finally knitted your scarf. Now you have to bind it off or secure the remaining stitches on the needle so that it does not unravel.
To do this, you will knit the first 2 stitches. Then you will take your left hand needle and slip it into the first stitch you knit (from left to right) and pull it over the second stitch and off the needle.
Then you will knit the next stitch from the left hand needle onto the right hand needle. Again, you will bring the first stitch over the 2nd stitch and off the needle.
When you have reached the end, you will have one stitch remaining on your right hand needle. Cut the yarn a few inches out and bring this end through the remaining stitch, slipping the needle out. Weave in this strand of yarn.

Thanks again for doing this. I am sure I will wear out my welcome once I get started. Wonder if I will like knitting as much as I love crocheting.
There’s a difference for sure. I like both. Some things I prefer to knit and some things I prefer to crochet. You’ll probably feel the same way.
I’m still here. I’m just being quiet. I’ve been invited to a crafter’s Christmas gathering. I’m working on the same blanket that I took to last year’s crafter’s party, so maybe if they invite me for 5 more years I’ll be finished with it.
I’m amazed that you turn out so many beautiful things so quickly.
Hey, Barb! I knit or crochet to relieve stress. I prefer quick projects so it just looks like I’m doing a lot, LOL!
