I cord cast on...

1 | No wonder they call it Idiot cord, because it took this one five different You Tube tutorials before I got anything that looked like the real thing!! Now all I have to do is learn how to then make an I cord edging at both sides. But hey, they say learning new tricks is good for aging brains, even Idiot ones! oh_hunnihunni - 2021-05-13 11:39:00 |
2 | Oh I do like i-cord edgings, just finished a cowl with an i-cord bind off! Edited by nzmu at 4:52 pm, Thu 13 May nzmu - 2021-05-13 16:52:00 |
3 | Show off. I am on my tenth trial piece... Genuine idiot here! oh_hunnihunni - 2021-05-13 17:31:00 |

5 | Once you master it you will find a great skill to have. Gives a lovely finish to an assortment of projects. I found it rather slow at first but it has become quicker with time. jayemtoo - 2021-05-13 19:20:00 |
6 | I think I have it, but it is distinctly possible I have bastardised the actual technigue!! Still, it doesn't look too awful, so long as I don't look too close! Fun learning new stuff though... oh_hunnihunni - 2021-05-13 19:32:00 |
7 | The edgings are actually easier than they look. I don't bother doing icord for ties, I would rather crochet one. voyager4 - 2021-05-14 09:37:00 |
8 | I am saving learning to crochet for my old age. ???? oh_hunnihunni - 2021-05-14 10:24:00 |

Been thinking my brain needs a new challenge maybe I’ll try this ….but I don’t need any more frustrations. eljayv - 2021-05-14 16:44:00 |
10 | I did get the cast on worked out, but the edgings are proving a challenge lol. Still, I can always rip it down and start again... Twice the fun! oh_hunnihunni - 2021-05-14 20:27:00 |
11 | Try looking for wrapping the edge instructions, they are worded differently but the result is the same. voyager4 - 2021-05-18 09:33:00 |
12 | I did work it out in the end and am using a three stitch cord which seems to work. It is a bit uneven though as I get more used to it, but then my knitting is uneven at the best of times so that's par for my course! I do like the effect though, it is better than my previous edges. oh_hunnihunni - 2021-05-18 13:07:00 |
