I've just recently round a scalf i stated making ages ago, so i've decided to finish it, but i've can't remember what to do when i want to end it?! Is it calld casting off?? Or is that to start a piece?! Well anyway, if anyone know's any sites with pictures, and if anyone could explain REALLY well, hehe, would be much appreciated!!!

    Yes casting off is when you end or it is called bind off. What you do is knit two and slip the first one over your second knit. Here is a site that has pictures and may explain it a little better.

    Cool, other knitters.

    I recently picked up knitting again, too! I used to crochet beautiful designs, but for some reason that now gives me tennis elbow while knitting doesn't.

    I'm such a craft dweeb.
