Yeah!!! I’m doing it 🎉. It’s a very tedious process for me using a lot of concentration. All good. I just hope I have left enough yarn for the cast off process. I read that it takes 12 times the length of the Shawl of yarn to save for the bind off. Is that your estimate???
This is my first time doing this process. Thank you in advance for your reply 🙏🏻

This is so much easier than just reading it on the pattern. Thank you so much ☺️

Thank you for this tutorial. I’m knitting a little child’s dress with four inches of lace at the hem. The finishing per the pattern is 3 rows of garter and regular or stretchy bind off. I’d like to bind off in the lace pattern, maybe with your pico bind off. Does this seem feasible, or even aesthetically right to do?

Thank you Donna for your very clear instructions.

Very good & clear instructions, thank you! :) It seems somehow counterintuitive to be casting *on* stiches when you're supposed to be casting off, that's why I've had trouble wrapping my head round this method, I guess ;)
