cool...you're not the only knitter on here gwen, i'm a needle freak too. I even take my knitting to work.

I haven't made much, so far it's only a few scarves and a cardigan for my boyfriends niece. I'm currently knitting squares for a throw, and i'm subscribed to a weekly knitting magazine.

Burns, the thing you're thinking of is casting off, it's really easy to do. When you want to finish, you just knit two stitches on your right hand needle. Pass the first stitch over the second on the needle, and you have one stitch cast off. You repeat this until you get to the end of the piece of work, cut your yarn, thread it through the loop and pull.

when i've sewn some squares together, i'll try and post a pic...
