I am pleased to present this video on finishing your knitting with a surprisingly stretchy bind off.  When you bind off using traditional methods, the final edge can be too tight.  This can cause serious fit problems in the cuff of socks,or make it difficult to block out points on a shawl.  By introducing reverse YO's into the bid off, the edge becomes a lot stretchier, but still looks very much like your traditional bind off.
