Binding off?

[paphlovian]

Hello,

In doing the basic bind off I am wondering what you are supposed to do at the end of the row. When I bind off I stick the cut thread through the last stitch which I thought you are supposed to do but am still left with an extra loop. Please help if you can.

THANKS!

Hm. Well, you are supposed to cut the yarn and push it through the last stitch, like you said. You shouldn't have another loop after that...and I really can't figure out how you managed to do it. Are you sure that the 'extra' loop isn't the last loop? (I realize you probably thought of that, I'm just checking). I wish I could help more!
