Cast On, Bind Off, and Heel Resource List

This section is a little different than previous e-books in that it contains a resource list of techniques I hope to profile in the book.

While not representative of every CO / BO or heel, I’ve chosen based on my own knitting experiences to profile differences between the “best” CO / BO for stretchy cuffs, specifically with socks in mind. In that section particularly, I am testing percentage stretchiness in different ribbing methods. Lots and lots of swatches are happening over here!

I thought it could be fun to share some of the tests I’m running, and if you’d like, you can try them too. If you send me your feedback on any of these via email (hello@craeftstore.com) or on the Ravelry group, I might even include you as a little “real knitter thoughts” blurb on that page in the book!

If you’re aware of a technique you don’t see listed in this index (and you think it should be included), I’d love to hear about that too, and your contributions to the text will be noted.

It is rare for an author to have an opportunity to collaborate with readers, so I really appreciate any thoughts you have throughout this process.
