u/AtomicAthena · 6 pointsr/knitting

It depends on where in the sweater I'm binding off. For a top-down sweater body or sleeves, I tend to use Jeny's Super Stretchy Bind-Off, the Invisible Ribbed Bind-Off, or the Sewn Bind-Off. For neck trimmings, I almost always used the Invisible Ribbed Bind-Off. Sometimes I'll just use the standard bind-off, but bind off in pattern (knit the knits and purl the purls and slip the first stitch over the second one). When working bottom-up and binding off the top shoulders/neck/collar, I use a standard bind-off since it's easier to Kitchener Stitch together (shoulders) or pick up stitches for the neck trimming (neck/collar).

I will say that my copy of Cast On, Bind Off has gotten so much use! Sometimes I try a new bind off and love it... other times I rip it and use one of my go-to bind offs, most of which I found in that book.

(As an aside, I try to list the bind-offs and cast-ons used in my rav project pages and try to remember to take detail pictures if you want to take a look.)

I know you asked for online sources, but Cast On, Bind Off is a really, really deep dive into this topic that you won't get from blogs or YouTube tutorials :)

I was perusing this book of cast-ons and bind-offs at a local knit-group the other day and it's really pretty awesome. If you're an Amazon Prime member, it's free for kindles.

Thanks, but the link turns up an error. Is this the book in question?

2 books that have helped me very much:

https://smile.amazon.com/Increase-Decrease-Step-Step-Technique/dp/1612123317/

And https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/1603427244/

I use youtube all the time too, but once I've seen a technique, these books stay near me while knitting. Also, they work when the internet doesn't. :D

It's not all encompassing, but I really enjoy having this book lying around. Someone once posted a link to a gigantic list of cast one and bind offs but I don't remember where...

Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I've been super ill!

But, anyway, here is the book: http://smile.amazon.com/Cast-Bind-Off-Step-Step/dp/1603427244. I really highly recommend it. I've used it over and over and it isn't too expensive. The kindle version is only 2.99 and the spiral bound is just over 10 bucks!
