[Nfb-krafters-korner] eye chord

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

Thanks.  I tried it last night and could not get it to work.  I think I figured out the problem.  I did not bring the yarn around back, I just brought it up and it was creating an extra loop at the end.  I will try again and let you know how it goes.  I have a neet idea if I can just master this method or I will have to do it on the small kk loom.

Terry,

The i-cord is made on double pointed needles (DPNs).  When you finish a row, rather than turning your work and working back, you slide the stitches back to the right, bring the working yarn across the back of your work and knit the first stitch.  Once you knit that first stitch, be sure to pull on the working yarn in order to snug up the stitches.  In effect, you are knitting the last stitch to the first stitch, creating a tube. 

If you do not have double pointed needles, then you will have to slip the worked stitches from the right needle, purl wise,  back to the  left needle and then knit as described above.  You will need to do this after each row.
So, if you don't have dPNs, you can still make your i-cord - just a little more complicated.

If you still have questions, let me know

Blessings,
Ninn

Ninn;
Are you in, today.  I sent you an e-mail, today.

Does anyone know how to do the eye chord.  If I understand her right, do you do it on double pointed needles.
When I bring the yarn to the other end to knit the second row, the end of the needle is in the way, so you can not slide the stitches off.
