On the heavier weight yarn, I noticed you were not making sure the thread went all the way down. I had the same the problem. But if you slowly push the yarn down it works,but I have found it is quicker with my dpn and knit the heavier weight. Fun video.
Power tools and knitting!!!!! Oh the yarn goddess above has made me a very happy yarnie. Thanks for sharing!!!!
Haha, love it, Lori! Have fun drilling those i-cords at lightning speed!
I cords can be used for straps in some projects. They can be coiled around in a circle or square shape to make a little coaster for coffee or a larger pot holder. You could make a place mat for the table or a rug for the floor. You could make a bulky scarf by using it to create ridges one on top of the other until you have a long rectange shape. You could coil it around to make a hat. You could coil it around to make a cat bed or dog bed or basket shape. You could use it for macrame or weaving. It isn't easy to make enough I cord by hand to really do these things, but with a power tool going I think you could make a lot of I cord!
Me too I just bought it from Amazon, I tried to send it back, but they just issued a refund and said I don’t need to send it back and I thought I was doing something wrong, so is there any way of getting it to work with normal yarn I’m just a bit puzzled
This was a very nice video. I liked your lovely voice and it was great to see the goof ups at the beginning so we can see how it does take practice with a new gadget!
+Jeanne Molamphy Ha, thanks!!
Hello: What is the best yarn to make an I-cord? Thank you!
Perfect tool for the brain hat I cords and those of us who knit slowly. With my power tool and this I'll be sure to get my hat done before the science march! Thanks for the innovation.
Yay! Good luck!! Check out our FB Group "Brain Hats and Thinking Caps" for encouragement among fellow Brain Hat Knitters! bit.ly/brainhat-fbgroup
Hi, if you use the other bits that come with your screwdriver use a star or square bit and it will stop it messing up the hole for you. It should fit perfectly. Kim..
Gotta love a girl with a screwdriver. Lol. Thank you for your great tutorial my dear. I have just ordered one. Thank you once again, appreciate you taking the time to share. Sherie Rodrigues from Australia. Definitely a new fan.
That was a fun watch. I use a 4v drill and attachment on my Addi (as do lots) speeds up the cranking for sure.
I tried an Addi egg but the gears stripped very quickly using light yarn sadly. I may give this one a go.
Love your chanel. I am a new knitter I have way more to learn thanks to your videos I learn how to change colors while knitting. Love your cute ideas.
What a hoot!! Thanks for your creative video. I never would have thought that power tools could go hand in hand with making I-cords!
So cool! And thanks for showing your “failure” with the heavier yarn. That’s exactly what happens to me!
Glad it was helpful!
Genius! Definitely gonna try the drill technique. Thank you for sharing!
Have fun!
Im getting one of those machines thank you thats vvv clear best ive seen ❤❤❤❤
I have just ordered two , one for myself and one for the children I care for at my daycare and after school club as the girls and boys are very interested in knitting and all sorts of other crafts. I think they will love having a go at using this and then we can see what we can make with the cords, though they have already asked if they can make mats for the dolls house:~)
I know this is off subject, but that rug is GORGEOUS! This video was perfect. Thank you so much! New subbie here.
I've ordered one on eBay it does say use lightweight yarns !!!!! So nothing more than a thread 🧵. It does take the fun away from the knitting Nancy but I like a challenge best vid I've seen thank you 😄
This little tools is a treasure for making speedy I-cord! Have this exact embellishment tool, and have had it for approximately 8 yrs. It is a treasure. I've used I-cord in machine knitting, sewing and crafting projects. It is not to be used with heavy weight yarn. Trust me it is not about karma (lol). I would be cautious about consistently using a power tool in this small embellishment tool.
Hello! Which one do you have?
Wow that is so cool!
Thank you for the fails. That’s what keeps happening to me!!!! I LOVE your reference to my fave guy MacGyver!!!!
You got this!
My mother made a christmas tree garland like this, except she used a crochet hook to do it by hand. This would be SO SO SOOOOOOO much easier & quicker omg!
oh my god PML i just bought a knitting machine and saw your idea Girl you are ingenious. 1 male suggestion (you know coz we generally know tools better not misogynistic or anything) Instead of using a flat head screw driver drill bit, use a phillips head or allan key head drill bit - It fits snug and no friction I think you deserve a medal coz i was contemplating how long its gonna take me to spin enough i-chord to knit a blanket Now its gonna take a fraction of the time and its gonna be awesome fun Thank you sooo much Youre amazing and great video too.
mansplaining, mansplaining everywhere *sigh*
What could I-cords be used for if I may ask?
Judith Ogboru Brain caps. pot holders, rugs.
Judith Ogboru boarder on blankets baby shoes
That's my question. Making them is not the issue . WHAT to do with i-cords is the issue. LOL!
I just found a knitting pattern for a sweater that uses I-cord all over the place. This would save me so much time. haha!
I’m going to use them to make a blanket.
Awesome,
Screwdriver attempt, and my mouth wide opened 😳😱😱😱😱😱👆🏻😂😂😂😂🤗🤗🤗🤗😍😍😍😘
Awesome idea.
Totally getting one!!!!!!!! You rock!!!!
Yay! Have fun with it... and patient.
i used a #4 weight yarn but i have to tug the weight to keep the yarn from building up. also when each hook picks up a bit of yarn, the old yarn must be below the tiny catch that is below the hook. hope that makes sense. basically, i turn the crank a few times, tug on the weight to pull the yarn down the funnel, and crack again, and repeat.
I’m putting this machine on my birthday list thanks for the tutorial, can you please let me know what yarn the grey sparkly is.
I have been battling this machine all afternoon with a 3 weight yarn. It wants to work so SO badly but the yarn won’t slip over and it’s ridiculously slow going having to manually push each stitch over.
Have you tried a heavier weight at the bottom of your yarn?
It's not a total fail. You need to let the weight hang freely from the bottom, not rest on the work table as you did. Otherwise, there is nothing to keep it from bunching at the top. It states that in the directions.
whats the thickness of the braided cord using this type of yarn (the one that worked out)
Just got on if these. What am I doing wrong? It keeps dropping stitches or messing up. Using 3 weight yarn.
Thank you for your video. Nobody seems to be covering switching colors of yarn in the middle of an i chord tube. Can that be done? Also I would love to see a lot of things and ways of making stuff out of the I chords. Thank you so much
SO COOL! WITH DRILL★
I received mine and it won’t use anything yarn except very thin. I need one that will knit #4 yarn. Is there any one of these that will use the larger yarn?
The problem is, see those little latches under the hooks? If you manually push or help them close for the wool, watch and go carefully it should work.
I didn't have the same brand but I had one similar which also didn't work. Do you know if any of these come with a 5 prong version?
do you think that you could make some type of knitted animal? that would be amazing!!
Awsome and thank you❤
Could rats tail cord be used or would that be too big , thinking this would be a quick tool for making necklaces ?
It's good to see the fails it's educational,....😅😢 I have some boho yarn that's ideal for this 😅😅😅😅😅
I love you Adelaide scissors
I have had continual success with fingering weight yarn. The directions that accompany the tool suggests fingering weight only.
How do I reattach the cord if it falls off and starts unraveling?
Ok why would you show all the fails. Confusing
Why moan it's good to learn...
Can I use a double ply wool on this gadget for making a rope?
Ugh… my needles came out of the machine and when I try to use it, the needles do not click in? Any advice?
Good morning please i which to buy one please how can I do to have it?
that looks so cool!😀
on those first few rows I will pull the yarn by the weight to help seat it correctly so that they catch and loop off of the yarn hook and release for the next row to knit. Also make sure that your weight dangles so that you have the right tension. If it is sitting or laying on the table, you will not have enough tension for the yarn to loop and drop to form the stitch
Great tips, thanks!! 💖
what do you do if the handle jams and breaks? I have the green knock-off version.
Whoa... I see this and I just picture making miles and miles of paracord from plastic soda bottle string. Where can I buy one?!
For me, knitting isn't just a hobby. It's a longterm survival skill. 😎
Can you do to colors at the same time??
I have one of these and it's awesome!
I need this!
What is the latch needle number?(kh?)
This is so cool!
What is the kind of yarn?
Completely off topic but how many rows/ridges for a scarf? I like long ones but would like to have a rough idea
Maddison Martin I usually don't count for scarves. The way I do them is by length. A good length is the height of the person.
wow, this will be great for my kids! thanks for demonstrating ☺
I think some plastic tweezers would work a little easier for lifting the thread behind one of the hooks when you are getting it started.
Great idea!
Has anyone had success in making i cords with this method with worsted weight yarn?
A crochet hook would lift that yarn around the hooks more easily.
Knitting and powertools, an unspoken romance???
i use a crochet hook to lift the yarn in the beginning
Try using a heavier weight for the thicker yarns I was at it for days but as soon as I used something heavier it was a breeze
I’ll have to try that. I mainly want to use it for worsted weight.
What are I Cords used for?
Use for Lanyards, craft trimmings, phone caddies, crocheted purses, mug rugs, oval rugs and the list goes on and on. Imagine it and make it :)
where do you get that purplel that she isdping the knitting with. alicecprr
I wonder if this would work using something like 95 paracord
TFS do you know where I can get a replacement weight? as I have missplaced mine somewhere. thank you
I actually ordered a weight on amazon. I think the one I ordered was a fishing weight.
Just ordered! lol
So cool, gonna get one of those:~)
They can be finicky, but once you get the hang of it, it's awesome!!!
thank you I learn new Hugs 🤗 joanne
Okay. Now that I"ve made a bunch of i-cords ...? WHAT do I do with them?
+Pinky Green ruclips.net/p/PLUFn5w_e6iu9UhzqI5eySffwz1Hc4LOMa
I hate this thing and I can’t get it to work no matter what yarn I use. Please help
does it work with wire?
I think wire would break the device, unfortunately.
where can you get that thing that u used to make the i cord
The link to purchase is in the video description! amzn.to/2kC9WRL
brooke widrick Michaels or Joann's
Jill Moffitt yeah..DEFINITELY don't pay 18 at Amazon! Wait for a fifty or sixty percent off coupon at Joann (or Michael's).
The handle on mine wont come off :/
Sometimes a stitch pops off. Maybe I wasn’t hanging the weight enough?
How do you get the handle off?
I have tried with different thread sizes but it has all been a fail like how yours began.
Yeah. I’ve never had any luck with this machine.
What is an i-cord for?
Nevermind! I checked out your playlist for i-cord projects
do NOT use heavier than 5 oz for the crank embellish knit tool. it works awesome with that and smaller. I fought for days to try it with 7 oz. forget it. I think will eat your lunch. the weight is awesome too!
I googled icord it's not apple related 😅😅😅😅 it's V interesting how it got it's name people 😅
I don’t see the point in this machine unless it can work with up to worsted weight yarns. I want to use my lace weight yarn for shawls not icord.
Still struggling 🤷🏽♀️
seems like to me that it a little difficult
Omg!!!! I effing thought this was for iPhone chargers! 🙄🙄🙄🙄
*sigh* the end part is where my husband would not let me use his power tools....
that is great I going to try it it does not look hard to do Alice vorr
like for a lot of fails ♥
That's cheating!!!!😅😅😅
I would rather use two knitting needles for this
