I like this picot bind off even more than I thought that I would:

It looks a little like a ruffle in its pre-blocked state.  When I began this project, I conceived ruffled edges for the body and sleeves.  Perhaps this was inspired by the finished Cheesylove on Jstrizzy's blog (click here for the FO pick).  When, however, I swatched for my project, I quickly discovered that the line created by that ruffle would be too severe for the look I had in mind.

Thank you for all of your input and suggestions for sequencing the bind off.  I decided to do the picot with the same size needle (US 8) that I used for the body, and do it before I blocked and seamed.  A US 10 would have been too big, and I don't seem to possess a US 9.  The bigger needles would have been to difficult to jam into the stitches, anyway.

I'm happy that I decided to do the bind off before I blocked.  Look at how the bind off curls.  That will definitely be fixed with a nice lie-in on my blocking board.

Speaking of Knitty, shouldn't the spring edition be arriving soon?
