I’m studying textile design in Hamburg, Germany. Instagram recommended a short of yours to me. Because of a comment you put in the Instagram video, I found your website and blog. Your blog linked me to this RUclips video. I am only 2m24s in, but can I please already just point out how aesthetically pleasing your close-up video how-to is from how beautiful your hands look to the harmonious color matching of turquoise ring to the turquoise in the hand-painted yarn, the same medium dark gray of the polymer clay matching the medium dark gray linen background, and finally the cream orange nail polish serving as an exciting complementary color to the turquoise (but it’s also a muted cream so it doesn’t distract from the main action). My eyeballs are in love. 😍
I crochet and don't know how to knit and this made me feel very confident and capable of using my new icord tool. Thanks for a great tutorial. I'm not even scared to screw up now because I know I'll be able to frog the cord and fix it thanks to you.
Thank you for this video! I have a collection of i-cord tools and I’m trying to “get smart” on all the ways I can use them. This video goes a long way to help with that.
Thank you for another great live. I was in Dublin, Ireland last month. I visited the "This Is Knit" yarn store. I dropped your name; I was elated when they said they know you! Have you visited the Avoca Mill in Wicklow, Ireland? I found it extremely interesting. You asked what book I would recommend reading, well I've been trying to find at my local libraries the book "Listen for The Lie" by Amy Tintera. This was recommended by a knitting group friend. I hope it is worth the read. I hope you have a safe trip to Ireland.
For the Cuentas collar binding off on beaded strands... Do you do the loop reduction bind off after you have done the 4 plain (after beads are gone) 3knits? Also, how do we count the rows? Do we just pick a column of "v"s and count? lol! ❤
I don't, but it is easy! Follow the pattern as written for casting onto the eyeglass fob, but only put 3 sts on there (instead of 4), then knit one row and transfer the sts (as I do in the video for fixing mistakes) to the I-Cord Tool and start working with beads like I do in Cuentas Collar!
@@LauraNelkin I figured you’d have a good solution! I did my first with doublepoints, but am looking to make more an I think that the icord tool will be much faster and more even. You also mention blocking the cords. Do you fully wet them, spritz and dry or steam block?
Your tip about squeezing the hooks together helped so so much!!! Thanks!
Thank you for showing how to fix a mistake. It has really helped me.
Thank you! I watched a bunch of tutorials, but yiurs is the only one who clicked!!! Now, I'm going to play with this thing until I'm fluent
Thank you.
Brilliant video❤
Excellent video. You mentioned at the beginning that the yarn was hand painted, do you have a tutorial for that?
No, sorry
Thank You for your Absolutely beautiful tutorial on how to use the 3 hook I cord tool! ❤

Aw... thank you SO MUCH! We put a lot of thought into these details, and I'm so glad it shows!!!

Thank you! Your teaching was very helpful!!
This is so helpful! Is there any way to use this cast on for a four needle icord tool?
Yes you can! Just do it over one more needle!
Thank you so much for this! Another awesome video tutorial! And oh my goodness, I just scanned through the blogpost; this is going to be so much fun.
You are so welcome! It took us a minute to pull this together and I'm glad it will be helpful!!!

Bu örgü aparatını nereden alabilirim bilgi verebilirmisiniz teşekkür ederim...
Thank you! May I ask what yarn you used for the tutorial?

I have been to Avoca! I really enjoyed it! And got blankets there!

Ah, I show that in the Cuentas Collar video.. have you watch it?
Very clear! Is there a way to use the tool for an attached I-cord?
Yes! I did an Instagram reel on that! instagram.com/reel/C2DB6jwr7I2/
Do you have a video showing how to incorporate eyeglass fobs or lobster hooks ala Lolanyard?
I don't, but it is easy! Follow the pattern as written for casting onto the eyeglass fob, but only put 3 sts on there (instead of 4), then knit one row and transfer the sts (as I do in the video for fixing mistakes) to the I-Cord Tool and start working with beads like I do in Cuentas Collar!

Unfortunately, no one knows where we can buy this tool
Check out my blog post on it linked in the "notes" I have a few sources for you, including making your own!
