I've been using my I-Cord tool more than ever lately! This puppy is handy for holiday gift making, and I had to watch my own video to remember how to get started, so I figured I should re-share it here! My newsletter is the best way to hear about what I'm up to... like the fact that I am teaching a full-length live in the flesh class on using an I-Cord tool at Four Purls on January 12th.

Make your own I-Cord Tool!
Can I make my own? YES, with polymer clay and 3 (or more) knitting machine needles! During one of my monthly YouTube lives, I walked through the process of crafting your very own I-Cord tool in realtime. Check out my supplies list, step-by-step instructions, and handy tips to create this super useful knitting accessory.
Everything you need to know about I-Cord Tools
I-Cord is a round knit tube that can be made with as few as 2 stitches. You can use knitting needles, a spool, a loom, or a crochet hook tool to make it. But if you want to speed up the process, I highly recommend getting (or making!) an I-Cord maker. This handy little gadget is like a miniature knitting machine. In fact, it is made with knitting machine needles!
