>> If you work on your loom as though you count your pegs going off to the

>>
>> When you bind off, you need to skip the first peg to the right of your

>> off by placing the bottom loop up and over the top loop.  Now you should

>> loop on the 2nd peg.   Move that loop backwards to the left over to the 
>> 1st
>> peg that already has one loop on it.  Knit that off.  Now you should have 
>> one loop remaining on the 1st peg and nothing on the 2nd peg.  Move the 
>> loop from first peg back over to the second peg #2.  You should have no 
>> loops on the first peg and one loop on the second peg.  Continue on in 
>> this fashion.
>> Wrap peg #3 and knit off.  Place the remaining loop over to the left on 
>> peg #2.  Knit that off.  Move the remaining loop back over to peg #3. 
>> Keep repeating until finished.
>>
>> Now if I haven't totally confused you, this should work until you have 
>> only one stitch remaining.  Then I suppose you can draw your working yarn 
>> through the loop and fasten it off.
