papoose
marina is all seamed up, soon to be steeked. looks like a papoose to me.
3 needle bind off is my method of choice. alice recommends grafting in the pattern, meg swansen also prefers grafting, or the 3 needle bind off with the bind off on the public side.
but i like the stability of the 3 needle bind off, and i also like the way it looks. knitter's choice ;-)
julia put my feelings into words, only i am itching to start cables or lace, not socks. but i must persevere.........
my roses are blooming their fool heads off! i love these carefree beauty roses, they really live up to their name.

You're too fast for words... how do you do it? Intravenous caffeine? I swear it would take me a year to knit that much Fair Isle. Wow.
I like the three-needle bindoff too. Firm, elegant, and easy to execute. :-)
It's beautiful! I have a Fair Isle project in the works (only a small kids' vest). I've never done steeking before so I'm terrified of it. Good luck with yours!
Marina's looking good. You're almost on Sleeve Island.
gorgeous Marina! I love thepattern and colors in Marina. i can't wait to see it modeled:-)
Wow....you are incredible....Marina is moving along so quickly!!!! It's lovely...I should be getting back to my Fair Isle project Rona....
So lovely and fast too. The colors look so much more exciting in your pictures.
I usually do three-needle bind off. Your right about the stability.
Very nice! You know me, I wouldn't worry for a second about the inconsistencies....
Just wanted to say hi.
I have full faith and confidence in your knitterly judgement.
Fast progress. I guess we expect no less.
Beautiful!
Looking great!!! You inspire me!!
Love the roses too!!!
That is *gorgeous*! You are a speed demon!
i can't wait to see the finished sweater. knowing you that will be this weekend...your roses are lovely.
You really do beautiful hand work Vanessa. Marina is a work of art!
Okay, that's it. If I do decide to tackle a steeked sweater, will you hold my hand? Because I'm seriously scared of the idea - and yes, I know about the single-malt-before-steeking thing, but .... still...
