Ah sorry I didn't realise they'd temporarily defederated! Understandable with everything going on I suppose. Fingers crossed we're all back to one happy family soon!

(Looking up this elastic bind off because I'm very lazy so learned how to do one and just sort of stopped there ๐Ÿ˜…)

No worries, I myself actually didn't realize they defederated until I wondered why I missed so many great communities (including knitting ๐Ÿฅฒ).

But back to topic, the Elastic Bind-Off is really easy, just k2, sl2 back to left needle, k2tog tbl. That's it. Not nearly as elastic as JSSBO of course, but so much nicer to work imo.

I actually just tried it in my lace part. Hope it works nicely with blocking!

Oh my god that sounds like so much less faffing about. I must try it at the first opportunity, thank you!

I saw that you're refederated now too, so yay. Welcome back to the wider world! ๐Ÿ˜„
