[Nfb-krafters-korner] I-cord KK loom

[Ohio Gardener]

Joyce, 
In the treat bag class a crocheted chain stitch was suggested  for the
handle and this is what I used and it looked good. Had some weight in the
bottom of the bag too to get it to hang nice.

Opinions please:  Do you think a thick yarn will be good enough to  stand up
for a draw string replacement?  I like the idea of just cutting a  piece of
yarn and not fussing with doing other things to make this.

Ohio,
I just read a pattern for an i-chord that said to chain 4  and then single
crochet back and forth.  On the Halloween Treat Bag we  made, it uses a
drawstring to close it up.  Now that they have bulky  yarn, I chose just to
use it as my drawstring, but you could use an  i-chord.

Hi all,



I am reviewing older posts, so much  information to remember! anyhow in a
message awhile back Theresa  wrote:



"I make the I cord on any loom. You just need two pegs  and an anchor peg.

You use a version of the e wrap and you just keep  knitting off..the cord
will form towards the middle and you decide how  long."



questions: what can be made using the I-cord? Has this  group ever had a
class to make something with I-cord? Would someone be  willing to teach it
in the future? other than making handles for things, I  have not heard much
about what can be made from I-cord. I was wondering if  perhaps a basket
could be made from I-cord?  Maybe a plant  hanger?  

Does anyone know where patterns for I-cord projects can  be  found?



Ohio
