A Comparison of Two Elastic Bind Offs - K2tog and K2tog tbl.

[@carblarson8868]

You are the first channel I go to when I need to know how to knit a certain stitch. Thx again.

[@SuzanneBryan]

Happy to help!🧶

[@kayhoward380]

Thank you for your video. Binding off by knitting two together in back, came out great. First time to try bind off that way-been knitting about 65 years. Guess you can teach an old dog new tricks,,

[@SuzanneBryan]

These are words to live by, Kay, and I couldn't agree more; I'm a master hand knitter and still learning! 😘

[@shubelaboyle1245]

I have just used the K2tog tbl method to bind off the hem of a little child’s pinafore dress and it has worked like a treat. I originally used a standard BO which gave no stretch so I unpicked it and searched through your videos as I knew I would find the answer in one of your KZbin videos. Thank you so much Suzanne for giving your time and expertise so generously.

[@SuzanneBryan]

Shubela, thank you so much for your kind words!

[@marlafrantz8997]

I really appreciate how you also demonstrate stitches in the throwing style. Thanks!

[@SuzanneBryan]

You are very welcome Marla Frantz! Happy knitting.

[@thaberkorn6853]

I love when you demonstrate in two colors! It really helps highlight the technique!

[@SuzanneBryan]

Thank you T Haberkorn! Happy knitting.

[@valeriepayne5129]

Knit thru the back looks incredible as well as the ease. I also appreciate that that you show both Continental & throw. 😁

[@SuzanneBryan]

Thank you! 😊

[@suzannekosek9576]

I love your videos! You’re my Go-To when I need to learn new stitch or technique.

Thank you Susanne. I love your teachings and I have become a much better knitter because of you

[@SuzanneBryan]

You are so welcome!

[@joanneboag5993]

You're working on such a small needle/yarn I felt like I was viewing your demo as if is it were under a microscope! I do like the stretchy TBL bind off. I plan on using the technic on my current WIP! :)

[@jackiewing7870]

I like that you give oprions and compare them. I just tried the thru back loop on a sock top. Love it. Thank you

[@puppylove369]

Thank you for all your videos. I learned how to knit by watching you and I’ve learned every technique from you... basically I’ve learned almost everything I know from you. I love the way you teach. Thank you again!! Much love 💕

[@SuzanneBryan]

You are very welcome Puppy Love! Happy knitting.

[@elianna248]

[@thomas351]

[@SuzanneBryan]

Glad you like it!

[@pamowen3452]

Thank you Suzanne, I have been knitting a little over one year and learn so well with your teaching, I’m concentrating on knitting more loosely as I knit way too tight, your vids are so helpful. Thank you again!

[@SuzanneBryan]

Wonderful Pam Owen! Happy Knitting.

[@JanetTYoung]

Great, concise explanation. Going to use the TBL on current project. Thanks

[@SuzanneBryan]

You are very welcome, Janet! Thanks for watching!

[@annescanapico2181]

I have looked at several ways to to K2tog tbl bind off and I like yours the best. My knitting teach sent me a text message and she said what you showed but I didn’t get it til I saw yours. I think the last one looks really nice with the pop of color showing through which it is doing on Papillion shawl I am trying to finish. Thank you

[@SuzanneBryan]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Lucy-vx2ls]

Thank you so much for this! I recently used the K2TOG and absolutely hated how it looked, so I tried to alternate the K2TOG with a standard bo. It looked a little better, but I am definitely going to try through the back loop next. I want my baby comfy in my hand knits, but I also want the edges to look tidy.

[@SuzanneBryan]

Glad I could help!

[@msareli1]

I love how you explain the class, and the techniques to use. Happy Thanksgiving.

[@SuzanneBryan]

[@GinkoLinne]

Great demonstration, very insightful!

[@SuzanneBryan]

Thank you Raven daKnitta! Happy knitting.

[@cherylanon5791]

I appreciate all your time making this video. IMHO your BO is very close to the tips of needles, where the taper has a smaller diameter, moreover, you have a good amount of tension on the yarn, and this is why the Traditional BO is coming in last place. The other 2 BO's are of course going to stretch farther and look more substantial, because more stitching is happening (thus more yarn is being used). Traditional BO has its uses...but should be done while using the full shaft of the needle, and the same tension as rest of knitted piece. I suspect if you unraveled the body of your stockinette and put an ink dot in between each purl stitch, and used those dots while performing Traditonal BO, the result would be much more stretchy. I always told my knitting students to superimpose a rectangle between the 2 sts being BO (which necessitated a looser tension) and this gives better result on both CO and BO. Offering these tips as a help, in a positive intention. Merry Christmas!

[@SuzanneBryan]

I am not sure if you understood what I was trying to convey in this video. It is not the size of the needle or the tension, it is how much you pull up on the stitch trying to keep it large, which pulls yarn from the previous stitch creating the tight bind off. But I do welcome your input. Happy Holidays.

[@IExpectedBSJustNotThisMuchBS]

The last is the easiest method I’ve found for a cowl.

[@SuzanneBryan]

Wonderful, Madison! 😊

[@iedacorreia7430]

Excelente explicação!!! Sou Brasil

[@SuzanneBryan]

Thank you.

[@ilovebrean]

I wonder if this bind off is stretchier than my normal cast off which is the same as original but I add a yarn round needle after each stitch

[@SuzanneBryan]

The only way to find out is to swatch it and see. Happy knitting.

[@karenbochinski]

EXCELLENT!

[@SuzanneBryan]

Thank you Karen Bochinski! Happy knitting.

[@jamesblanton5600]

Always great information..DEB

[@SuzanneBryan]

Thank you Deb!

[@bjfox6]

What is a tubular bind off at the bottom of a sleeve?

[@risenshine2783]

Would the tbl bind off work in a rib? Would you purl tbl ?

[@SuzanneBryan]

This is a great question. try it on a swatch and see what you think.

[@motzoh]

Very nice. Would you mind adding those books you mentioned, to your video description? I'd love to look them up in the library!

[@mariadelmardospasos]

Thank you for all the fantastic content you make! I have learned so much from you! I am having trouble with a very specific thing and there is no video for it: two color brioche in the round in magic loop. If you ever decide to make it it would be so great!! Thank you and have a happy holidays!

[@SuzanneBryan]

I will add that to my video todo list. Thank you!

[@saiimal4552]
