Why does this keep happening?????
OK................

I start a scarf in ribbing. I'm going along fine with K2, P2 (or whatever). BUT when it comes time to Bind Off the Bind Off end ALWAYS ends up wider than the Cast On end!!

WHY???????????????

How can I keep both ends the same width? Granted, by the time I add fringe and give both ends some tugs, they end up about the same width anyway. But this is VERY frustrating! Does anyone have any tips/advice for me?

PLEASE?????

Are you binding off in rib or are you just doing a straight knit bind off? You may be stretching it out by binding off without binding off in pattern.
