So anyway, I hated the picot bind off specified in the pattern - it ended up looking like baby dread locks so I ripped it out (yet again - see why I hated working on this?) and made my own version of the picot bind off:
*Using the "knitting on" method cast on 2 stitches, knit 2 stitches, pass the first
knitted stitch over and of the right needle, continue to knit one stitch and
pass one stitch over until you have bound off 6 stitches. * Repeat from * to * until
completely bound off.
This one was worked over a multiple of 4 stitches obviously but it can be modified however you want by simply casting off more than 6 stitches. Viola! No more baby dreads. They were hideous.
So now I'm happy and can move on to all the other projects that have backed up in the making of this thing. Perhaps I should take this whole escapade as a hint that better project planning is in order? Post-blocking pictures coming soon to a blog near you.
