Cast on - Cast off

Elizabeth Zimmermann to the rescue.  I was finishing a project last night, but I just didn't like the way the bind-off was looking.  I remembered reading about EZ's cast-on/cast-off years ago.  Out came The Knitting Workshop.  It took a while for my fingers to get used to the idea but I am liking the results.

Here it is:  Caireen from Susanna IC, found  Knitty's Deep Fall 2010 issue.  This was a lovely pattern to work especially with the 2 ply alpaca I used.  His name is Sawyer from Savannah Breeze Alpacas near Vinton, IA.



Close up of the process.  It doesn't show real well, but you work with a blunt needle to copy the look of a cast-on edge
