    @@evabazan1966 Yes, that's the idea. You take it out leaving live stitches from your cast on to be grafted together with the stitches of your last row for a seamless looking join.

    Yep! I've just finished trying all 3 options and I prefer the 2nd option but go by what you prefer and feels comfortable to you, just when you turn your work do the opposite ( so as if ur about knit the first stitch just put it on your needle, then continue to purl the rest of the way till you turn your work again) Hope this helps! :]
