I’m studying textile design in Hamburg, Germany. Instagram recommended a short of yours to me. Because of a comment you put in the Instagram video, I found your website and blog. Your blog linked me to this KZbin video. I am only 2m24s in, but can I please already just point out how aesthetically pleasing your close-up video how-to is from how beautiful your hands look to the harmonious color matching of turquoise ring to the turquoise in the hand-painted yarn, the same medium dark gray of the polymer clay matching the medium dark gray linen background, and finally the cream orange nail polish serving as an exciting complementary color to the turquoise (but it’s also a muted cream so it doesn’t distract from the main action). My eyeballs are in love. 😍

Aw... thank you SO MUCH! We put a lot of thought into these details, and I'm so glad it shows!!!

[@hartmarilyn]

Thank you so much for this! Another awesome video tutorial! And oh my goodness, I just scanned through the blogpost; this is going to be so much fun.

[@LauraNelkin]

You are so welcome! It took us a minute to pull this together and I'm glad it will be helpful!!!

Thank you for this video! I have a collection of i-cord tools and I’m trying to “get smart” on all the ways I can use them. This video goes a long way to help with that.

You are so welcome!

[@crec78900]

Thanks for the wonderful tutorial! Fantastic as always! I'm forwarding this to a friend right now.

[@LauraNelkin]

New subscriber, great tutorial, thanks!

[@LauraNelkin]

So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!

Very clear! Is there a way to use the tool for an attached I-cord?

[@LauraNelkin]

Yes! I did an Instagram reel on that! instagram.com/reel/C2DB6jwr7I2/

[@susansmart8086]

Do you have a video showing how to incorporate eyeglass fobs or lobster hooks ala Lolanyard?

[@LauraNelkin]

I don't, but it is easy! Follow the pattern as written for casting onto the eyeglass fob, but only put 3 sts on there (instead of 4), then knit one row and transfer the sts (as I do in the video for fixing mistakes) to the I-Cord Tool and start working with beads like I do in Cuentas Collar!

@@LauraNelkin I figured you’d have a good solution! I did my first with doublepoints, but am looking to make more an I think that the icord tool will be much faster and more even. You also mention blocking the cords. Do you fully wet them, spritz and dry or steam block?
