Tubular Bind Off Step by Step Tutorial

Tubular Bind off for 1x1 Rib (K1P1 Rib) is my all time favourite since I started knitting. The first time I saw this bind off was when my mother in law did a finishing for  polo neck sweater, I was so intrigued by the finished, I requested her to teach me. I am thankful to her till date for showing me this awesome bind off

Today, I would like to share it with my friends so that you can also enjoy the amazing finish as much as I do

Long Sock

Thanks to my fren, who wanted me to knit a long sock for her. I have never done a long sock in my entire life but thought to indulge in one. Hence, I set my journey of knitting one. I have not written the pattern line by line for now. But I did take notes :) So, I might come out with a written pattern soon
