New tricks

In a sudden flash of (ice hockey induced?) inspiration, I added some rows of garterstitch at the foot of the Body hill. I'm now binding off the body using a new method (for me, that is), using a tapestry needle and a very long thread. In this webpage it is attributed to Elisabeth Zimmerman. Slow, but stretchy and very nice-looking. Lana Grossa has another variation in their site, called Italian bind-off. There is a cast-on that matches. Lana Grossa says it's difficult but well worth the trouble. I'll have to try, when this is finished.
