Shameless knitting at work

Well, it's not my fault that there's nothing else for me to do. There's some pending paperwork, but yesterday I was told not to do it, because I'm always doing it and I should let someone else handle it this time. Meanwhile, I'm wondering if there's a way to cast off without using a tapestry needle, a crochet hook or a larger set of needles. I read and re-read all these internet toe-up sock patterns and they all say "cast off loosely", or use a tapestry needle. But I say, let's be creative and try a different way to bind off.



I don't have a crochet hook but I can use two needles to do a single crochet stitch on all my knit stitches. I cannot do it with my purl stitches, but maybe doing it on my knit stitches is good enough. I'm going to try it and we'll see later what comes out of it.
