Canadians, Spinnacle Yarns also sells these.

[@jennyshields323]

This looks great

[@ketiaperkinsformallydavis6337]

I have one and i love it!!! Great video

[@rachelisknitting]

Awesome! Thank you!

Just bought 3 latch hooks to make one of these things. I figure I can just weave the parts that go in the handle together with wire and squish some thermoplastic on it for a base, and then I can make a squishy ergonomic handle covering with model magic.

[@rachelisknitting]

Great idea!

[@DeresaBoyd]

Hey what size latch hooks did u get bc I have 3 and no latch hooks the one I ordered didn't work they was very small

Good video, Rachel! Laura Nelkin has videos on this nifty little tool including using beads with it to make knit beaded jewelry. Off topic here I’ll be knitting a Ranunculus soon so I’ll be watching your video journey of that beautiful sweater. Oh my goodness you made me 😂 for real with your ending there! Too cute. 😊 Big hugs to you, Rachel! Happy New Year to you jic I don’t see you on here before that.

[@rachelisknitting]

Thank you so much! You’ll love making the Ranunculus! I already am planning another one 😅

[@stitchy_linn]

@@rachelisknittinga friend of mine has made three of them last year. I have plenty of help if needed.

[@fancymg69]

Where can i order this tool. I went to instagram but couldnt figure out how to order it. Thanks

[@rachelisknitting]

I ordered it via DM!

[@judybostick3934]

I ordered mine from Biscotte yarns. Just got it and am learning how to it.

[@leslieleland1874]

How do you clean up the start of the icord?

[@rachelisknitting]

I put the starting end through a tapestry needle and then poke it through the center and out through the icord and kind of pull it in on itself.

[@Emilytabithamakes]

I made one using 3 needles from a knitting machine and 2 small packages of polymer clay, about $10 total. I like to clamp it to a table and have both hands available to work.

[@rachelisknitting]

That's a great idea!

[@catofthecastle1681]

I went to instagram but can’t figure out how to order!

[@rachelisknitting]

I think she is working on a website but in the meantime you can order through DM!

[@colleenmisner454]

Can you do a slower video on how you are casting on the stitches

[@rachelisknitting]

I’ll see what I can do 🥰

[@tonyaseigler2925]

Can't even get mine to start right. Very disappointed. Owner (me) error. Lol!

[@karenavey2183]

Of course, you could make icord with double point needles.

[@rachelisknitting]

Totally!

[@phillydragonfly]

Wonder Knitter by Clover is way easier and more efficient. My friend’s 4 year old can use it.

[@rachelisknitting]

Interesting, thanks for the tip!

[@ElizabethLong-g9q]

I like this, but a lot of the actual use of the device -- or at least on my screen -- showed your stitch-making cut off. So the action was below the edge of the picture -- the very thing i wanted to see!

[@rachelisknitting]

Oh no I’m sorry!
