[dragonfly917]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! Through your videos I can now use DPN's, knit on circular needles and knit an i cord! YOU ARE A KNITTING ANGEL!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Phemae]

Thanks Judy - I have been referring to many of your videos as I knit for the first time - a baby boy on the way has inspired me! Your information is invaluable and really clearly presented. Thanks so much!

[sunrisecolorado]

I loved this video! You really helped me with it and you were the one who tought me how to knit! Thanks a bunch!!

[sunrisecolorado]

Judy, you are a really good knitting teacher! You thought me how to knit and really helped me with this i cord. Thanks so much for the videos!!

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

@sunrisecolorado

thanks for letting me know I have helped you with my videos. please keep watching and look for me on facebook.

[cnith2]

OK but when I do this the thing ends up flat... how do you get it to cord? what string do you pull on to get it cord up?

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

@cnith2

watch the video again. you have to bring the yarn from the back to the beginning every time.

[SoulKissification]

Geez, I never knew I had any messages until now. It's been months ago that you asked but yes, Judy, I was making a swim suit. :D

[platinumblonde428]

I'm not a knitter at all. I just crochet. I know that it is possible to crochet an I cord. However, this looks so simple, that I think that a non-knitter like me could do this. Thanks for the information.

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

@platinumblonde428

yes, it's quite simple. I'm the opposite of you. the only thing I can crochet is a chain to use for a drawstring or handle. thanks for your note.

[hattiebavin]

Thank you. So clear and simple.

[KloCreations]

I don't have any dpns, would it work if i used a circular needle and pushed it back to the same end each time? I'll try it...

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

@KloCreations

did you try it on a circular? I know it works, but much easier on a DPN. Look in thrift shops. Sometimes you can find a couple of them for very little money. thanks for writing. please keep watching and look for me on facebook too.

[KloCreations]

@knittingtipsbyjudy I did try it, and then I got really confused because the yarn was on the wrong side of the work... but looking back, it would be on a dpn too, so I looked at a few other videos and realised that it was meant to be like that, so I'm assuming it does work on circulars. Thanks anyway :)

[TheSueSch]

thanks for the demo It works perfectly for me to finish ahat for y beloved grand daughter -SueSch

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

@TheSueSch

so glad my video was helpful.  please keep watching and learning and look for me on facebook too.

[ailevas]

What do I do at the end?

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

@ailevas

just cut off the yarn and pull it through with either a needle or crochet hook.

[mamasandlesamesa]

do u just bind it off normally

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

@mamasandlesamesa

I usually cut off a tail then take a crochet hook and pull the yarn through the stitches, then use what's left of the tail to sew the cord to whatever it is that you've made.

[cheesepuff87]

Great tutorial! So easy to follow, I'll go make one now and I don't think I'll need to reference any other videos to do it. Thanks!

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

@cheesepuff87

yes, isn't it amazingly easy....and amazingly useful. thanks for letting me know the video helped you. please keep watching and look for me on facebook too.

[thispooiscold]

Thank you so much for making this video. It was very easy to understand, and a great thing to learn. Thanks.

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

@thispooiscold

glad the video was helpful. I agree, so easy and so useful.  please keep watching and look for me on facebook too.

[SaileAway]

This is awesome! Did you really make Forrest Gump's socks?!

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

@SaileAway

yes, and I get a chuckle every time I see the poster or watch the movie.  Thanks.

[MissLeigh78]

Making icords is so fun and easy!!! I'm making little green xmas wreaths with red bows...

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

@LoquaciousByNature

[CraftsDollsAndMe]

Wow really great tutorial. I have tried with spool knitting but it takes a lot of time to finish so I give up haaaaaaa...

Now I will try again but with needles.

Millions thanx.

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

@CraftsDollsAndMe

isn't it great to know how to knit an I Cord? so easy.

thanks for writing.

[SoulKissification]

Judy, I've only been knitting for a few years and I've been avoiding things that call for an "I-Cord" because it sounded mean. Ty for showing us this! I'm making a swimsuit for my daughter so I really needed to know what an i-cord is.

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

@SoulKissification

Great! Glad you tried it and now know how easy it is....and how useful. Are you knitting a swim suit?

[enthusiasticcab6]

:-) FYI Just found a great easy pattern at ebeginnersknitting (.) com

[sydneyanddana2]

can't you use circular needles and slide it to the other end of the needles

[1crochet]

Thank You for this tutorial, very helpful, I have been wondering what i cord was for some time. Now I know!

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

@1crochet

glad you found it helpful. isn't it amazing how easy it is?

[smiLeMEsiLLy13]

is there any way you can do this without double pointed needles?

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

@smiLeMEsiLLy13

No, you must use dp needles.....just 2.

[herie7]

Thank you so much for this video. I made a sachet bag as a wedding present and the pattern called for an Icord which I had no clue about until I watched your video.

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

@herie7

glad it helped. now you know how ridiculously easy it is and can use if for many projects.  sachet bag sounds lovely. thanks for the idea.

[grammarnazi2009]

great video! Thanks! I'm a beginner when it comes to knitting.

Quick question: would you be able to use an i-cord to make a belt? Or is that not recommended? I was thinking I could cast-on about 10 stitches and make an i-cord belt. Not such much for functionality as looks (although could it be a functional belt?) Thanks!

[aprilacus0]

I have a pattern I wanted to knit up that called for an i-cord, which I didn't know how to do yet.

This video really helped me! Thank you so much!

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

@aprilacus0

isn't it great that it sounds so complicated, yet it's so easy. glad the video helped.

please keep watching and look for me on facebook too.

[loubyloumcmou]

I have been knitting for years but had never heard of an icord. A pattern I have found uses this technique - this video has helped me hugely - thank you.

I'm sure I'll be using it a lot from now on!

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

@loubyloumcmou

me too....knitting for years before I heard of this simple, useful technique. Pass it on!

[JenzoCL]

This is JUST what I needed for a little baby jacket I'm knitting! YAY!!! Thanks so much!

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

@JenzoCL

it must be adorable. yay!!

[wandaloosa]

The I Cord always mystified me, but as I hadn't knit anything that called for it, I didn't pay much attention to it nor looked to see how it was done. But now I'm knitting a mug cozy that calls for an I Cord as a button loop, and now that I see how easy it is to do I won't hesitate to finish the cozy and break it in with a nice hot cup of tea! Thanks! :)

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

isn't it amazing how easy it is and how complicated it seems to be when you read about it. glad I could help. you'll find lots of uses for it.

happy knitting!

[auntiebeeler]

Love the help... it is wonderful.

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

Thank you! Written instructions for this are so hard to understand!

[sharih71]

Thank you! Just what I was looking for!

[Sanity8080]

THANK YOU! I kept finding written instructions with no pics and I couldn't wrap my heasd around it. This is exactly what I needed....I'm bookmarking the video so I can access it when I start the I-cord for my handfasting

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

So glad it was helpful.

[kamaladream]

Thank you SO much. Your video finally helped me figure out how to do this! The written instructions I kept finding on the net just didn't make sense.

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

Happy Knitting

[klaird]

[knittingtipsbyjudy]

sorry it took so long for me to get back to you. Glad I could help. Hope you've been watching my other videos, there are lots now. Happy knitting!

[kaminoyoujutsusha]

Oh! I used to never make i cord because I thought it was too difficult. I was reading the directions wrong so instead of making i cord I was making something completely different.
