Thank you for this video. Your instructions are very clear. I am not an experienced knitted, but I can follow a good tutorial. And that is just what this video is: a great tutorial. For me, it would have been an even greater video if you had made it all the way to the end, including how to finish and remove the provisional crochet cast-on.
The instructions i had for the icord ege on the wrap i made were horrible, so i googled. Found one tutorial from berrocco, but very complicated, and it just didn't look good. Your technique makes a very lovely finished edge, and the technique is quick and easy. Thank you.
Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for, creating and applying the icord together. This is much easier and neater than the instructions included in my pattern, I love it!!
This is a lovely video that shows the technique very well. The camera view is perfect, the speed is great, and the narration is calm and easy to follow. I have only one criticism: at 4:07 she says to have the wrong side facing you, but you need the right side facing while you work the I- cord.
@@heatherb7565 but at 5:05 she says "we are going to work on the right side of our work" so I am a bit confused if it's right side or left side that looks the best?
Thank you so much for this easy and neat way to do i-cord. I have just struggled up the side of a blanket using a method which calls for a yarn over and knitting two together which is really clumsy. This is so much neater.
Thank you, I had done this before, but years ago so needed a refresher! Watched another with a couple if yarn overs somewhere, but yours is much neater!
Thanks so much for a fantastic clear video. I’m finishing off the Fable Tee by Alicia Plummer and could not find a clear video to help with this technique until you. Thanks again!
Thanks for sharing this technique. Provisional cast on with chrochet chain is a great technique but I can’t find your video showing how to join icord in round. I am new at knitting and it will be a great help if you can tell me which video I should be watching. God bless you.
Hi Usha, thanks for your question! I have a video on how to graft with kitchener stitch here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Rn2_8EU0ohA.html . If you don't like how it looks with the icord, I'd recommend omitting the kitchener set-up steps as I've personally found I like how that looks with icord a little more :)
I love your video. I also liked your slip stitch edge. You said that you slept the last stitch of every row. Can you tell me if you slip it as if to knit or purl and with yarn in front or back? Thank you!
Thank you Edna! If you've used a normal cast on you'll need to bind off your remaining icord sts, then sew the two ends of icord together. If you've used a provisional cast on, you'll need to undo the cast on and pick up the stitches (shown with a crochet chain at the end of this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eC-jT0JAh9c.html) and then try using kitchener stitch to graft them together: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Rn2_8EU0ohA.html
Wonderful video, thank you so much. Could you please tell me if you use the same size needles for the icord as you did with your knitted squares. Thanks!👏
If you are picking up a stitch, then why do you also knit it? You should say in your instructions that you are "picking up AND knitting" to make it clear. You must not have much knitting experience yet, do you? When you do the SSK, you should turn that first stitch (at least) before knitting through the back. Perhaps you need more experience before you start doing videos. Just saying.
I actually disagree on both of your points, I think the description of picking up stitches is perfectly clear and I believe she is working a K2togtbl not an SSK which is also what I choose when working this technique. My point is just that different doesn't mean wrong, and to assume that she is inexperienced just because she does things differently than you would is ridiculous and condescending. Enjoy your knitting, and appreciate that people take the time to create and post instructional videos.
