Where could I buy that little machine for knitting cord?

Thanks soooo much .... exactly what I needed ... and you and your whole presentation are ah-dorable and most generous. And here I was thinking how masterful you spoke error free ... thanks for the impeccable quality of this production, and the delightful humor!!!

Thank youu for your very instructive video! I am particularly interested in knitting the rose. I found the outtakes the most amusing part of your presentation, as they show the really human side of you!!! By the way, where can I get the I-chord knitting machine? Witth a gadget like that I can save hours and hours of work.

Thanks for the great project! My knitted rose flower turned out really cute. Just one question....after it's all complete, I'm left with a flower that is not completely closed at the ends. How are you supposed to attach it to itself?

Thanks!

i feel like if you knit the petals of the calla lily in reverse stockinette, then it would curl outwards and look more like the real flower. i haven't tried it, but that's what i would expect to happen.
