Portia yes there is and I'll admit to still having some difficulty
with it but what you do..
When you have reached the length you want you will then do 3 rows of
knit 2 purl 2
next you will do the gathered bind off by taking the working yarn
behind the 2 knit stitches and pick up your 2 purl stitches, behind
the 2 knit pick up the 2 purl
make sure to tighten up you working yarn as much as you can
when you get back to your starting point you will now starting picking
up your 2 knit stitches
now you will gather as usual however...and this is where I still have
problems
when gathering the purl stitches are suppose to move toward the inside
while the knit stitches are suppose to gather toward the opposite side
I really have to work and rework to get the purl row tightened up.

Hope that helps,
Barb
