I-cord How-to Video!
I-cord may possibly have the lamest name ever (stands for idiot cord, apparently because anyone can do it) but the technique itself is both easy & super versatile. Here’s how!

When I came across this Knitting Needle Patent greeting card by @patentpress , I couldn’t resist selecting it as one of the items for the YarnYAY! September box! (Link in @vickiehowell bio or got to YarnYAY.com)
What looks like part circular knitting needle, part Tunisian crochet hook is illustrated as the patent drawing for flexible knitting needles. This greeting card memorializes the creation of tools that we stitchers can now, not do without!
The sample yarn for both palettes of this year’s 12 Days of YAY! Advent Box have arrived. I cannot wait for stitchers to open up a new color everyday!
I don’t want to spoil the shade surprises, but I can share just how much yarn we’re sending you this year — FIFTEEN mini hanks of beautifully hand dyed yarn, by two rad boss-lady dyers.
Historically, we have sold out of these so I’d you’re prone to FOMO, be sure to pre-order tour 12 Days of YAY!

Nineteen years into this knitting career, it’s crazy-pants that I’ve never had Learn to Knit or Learn to Crochet kits before. So, I finally made it happen. If you know someone, or ARE someone that wants to learn — while also making something wearable— check out our new hats and scarves kits in the YarnYAY! Shop!

You. Me. These headbands (one’s knit, the other’s crochet). Let’s do this!
Get the yarn, patterns, and so much more in the YarnYAY! September Box! (Link in bio)
I would have loved to have found this video back when I was first needing to learn to do i-cord. It’s simple as well as quality filming. I’m sure it will be most helpful to many! 🙂
Thank you! I, too, have wanted to see it rather than just read about it, and you’ve done it really clearly. Thanks!!
Vickie – this is great! I love the video for it’s clarity and quality. Most of all, it is such a joy to see and hear from you again in video format, teaching knitting. I enjoy learning or relearning about needlearts, and I really enjoy you! Thanks for a great addition (I have really been missing Knitty Gritty and this helps).
Maybe we could stop calling it “idiot” and just imagine that it is shaped like the letter “i” ?
I’ve never liked the name “idiot cord” — I always called it spool knitting (how I first learned to do it) , even when done on DPNs.
I don’t want to be all PC, but in my state they just THIS YEAR rescinded a law that said that idiots were not allowed to vote, idiot being the previous term for the mentally incapacitated.

I always wondered what the I stood for. I should be able to do this, lol.
Miss Knitty Gritty too!
Hope DIY gets there act together…
Is there any hope they’ll do more episodes?
hablo solo español pero puedo decir thanks, thanks and thanks you
