Using circular needle for knitted afghan
I just finished a shadow cable throw made on size 14 circular needles. After I bound it off, I found that the bound-off side was narrower than the cast-on edge even though the stitch count was correct. Can someone tell me what I did wrong?

I think that either the knitting got a bit tighter as you went along, therefore the finishing end was narrower than the starting end, OR you just bound off a bit tighter than you casted on. You could undo the bind off carefully and bind off again with a larger needle size and see if it helps.
