Yet another question/informal poll*: When casting off in the rib pattern, what technique is most effective? The pattern says to cast off in rib, and this is not a technique I've used before. When I consulted the ever trustworthy Vogue Knitting, the technique given was using a darning needle. Is this the technique used by most of the Audrey A-longers? If not, what technique did you use?
I was originally thinking of binding off with the standard, old reliable technique (knitting the knit stitches, purling the purl stitches, and then passing the appropriate stitch over). However, I imagine the bind off technique is somewhat important with Audrey because of the detailed neckline...
Thanks!

*Apologies if this has already been covered, I did check the archives and didn't find any specific info related to casting off...
