Excellent explanation and camera close up. You explain very clearly and confidently and inspire me to try. You expertise makes it look easy. Thank you 🙏 ❤️
You are a wonderful teacher! Concise and technically terrific! I have learned so much from you. I feel so fortunate to have found you! My sincerest thanks, Suzanne.
As always, I learn that little bit extra in your tutorials. I have seen a few videos for i-cords on DPNs, but the abilty to use straight or circular needles is very useful. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge!
Oh my goodness, I was thinking of getting a lucet to make cording but I can make it like this? No way! As usual, I knew my guru would have some new magic for me lol. Thanks again Suzanne 😊 ❤️
I have watched countless video tutorials on icords and mine look great on the front but are a tangled mess on the back! It almost looks like a ladder with a knitted row going up the middle. I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong! The pattern calls for seven stitches but I've tried seven, three, five... and the back always turns out the same even after 10 or so rows. Yours is the most helpful by far. I'll keep trying!
So far, I had watched six of your tutorials, and had enjoyed every bit of them, they are simple but EXTRAORDINARY!!!! The thing is that I don't do knitting with needles, but with looms and knitting machines. I do the I-cords in a loom, and then, once I had reached the desired length, I attach them to the needle bed of my 9mm bulky machine, and keep on knitting thereafter with the machine. I had found that I am extremely clumsy using needles regardless of how much I practice with them, and trying, consumes a lot of time. Because of that, I gave away ALL my needles. So that is the strategy I follow, but after watching you, I will try again, but then, which would be the best suitable size of needle to start again? I am using the worsted yarn with needle size ranging from 4mm to 6 mm.
With worsted weight yarn, I like to use a US 7 or 4.5 mm needle. Keep me posted on your progress. I have a Facebook group you could join if you want - Knitting with Suzanne Bryan. There you could post pictures and ask questions.
8:40 "Oops! What happened there? I split my yarn." Lol. You're so funny, Suzanne! I have done that so much in my knitting that I no longer say "Oops!" Nice video. Now I know how to make I-cord. I could make one and use it as a bookmark. :)
Suzanne thank you for this video. I really like the tip about just slipping the loops back on the other needle. I like the way you explained how you bind off an i cord I've never heard of that before and that will help. I do have a question though I'm blind and at one point when you were doing the tutorial you said after you've knit a bit of I cord you need to do this and it will even out the stitches I don't know what do this was. Could you please explain more? Thank you
I pulled it lengthwise several times. That stretches the stitches and helps even out their sizes. You are the second blind knitter that I know. Thank you so much for "watching" and posting. If there is anything I can do to make the videos better for you, please let me know. my mother was blind.
Thank you. I am new to circular needles having only ever used normal single point needles for over 50 years. I am finding it a real struggle, apart from perseverance do you have any tips to help adjust to the change please? 💐💐
Suzanne I noticed you always use metal needle that's way you dropped your needle . That's what happened to me since then I always use bamboo or wood not only I never drop my needle I also found my hand doesn't hurt as much.,
Loved how you show different ways to create i-cords
You are my new favorite! Thank you SO much for your easy to understand instructions.

Thank you very much!
I like the green 2 stitch i cord too!
Me too.
You are a wonderful teacher! Concise and technically terrific! I have learned so much from you. I feel so fortunate to have found you!
My sincerest thanks, Suzanne.
Wow, thank you!
Your detailed instruction on finishing the I-cord is great.
Thank you, Diane! 😊

Always welcome
Can you show us how to fix dropped stitches from icord edge?
I will add this to my 'to do' list, Georgina, thank you! 😊

Yes, it is just perseverance, it will become better in time and then you will be a believer.
Parabéns!!!
Thank you!
How do you know how long to make an icord? Say you are knitting an afghan that calls for cast on of 127 stitches.
Suzanne I noticed you always use metal needle that's way you dropped your needle . That's what happened to me since then I always use bamboo or wood not only I never drop my needle I also found my hand doesn't hurt as much.,
Excellent comment. Thank you.
