AWESOME!!! And, look at YOU with your fancy-schmancy decreases and so on!! :cheering:
yeah acutally had to come here to make sure I was doing them right…
Pretty easy Dec… K2TOG at the beginning, then at the last 2 stiches… Slip as to Knit, Knit, PSSO…
Pretty simple now that I’ve done it… course my bind off are still WAY tight…
Go Norman, it’s your birthday! :cheering:
PS when I read your post I “hear” your voice as Norman Bates as his mother (catch all that) That is kind of creepy.
… course my bind off are still WAY tight…
MINE TOO MINE TOO MINE TOO!!!
a friend showed me a different way.
K2
K those on the right needle together
K1 (you will have 2 stitches again on the right needle) and k those 2 Tog. It is a much much looser BO.
I “shrunk” the opening to a hood on a sweater, basically ruined the dumb thing doing the “normal” BO. I have used this other BO with MUCH success!!!
I just can NOT get it loose no matter how hard I try.
That looks great. Keep it up. 
Great Job, Norman! I, too, used to bind off TOO tightly–everything had a curled edge. Then I tried binding off with a larger needle (I find that a needle 2 sizes larger than the needle I used on the pattern works best–YES, I knit that tightly :rollseyes:, but I’m getting better with the tension thing.) It works like a charm–nice flat edge.
Happy Knitting
