cordsmith - i-cord maker

DESCRIPTION

If you love the look of i-cord but hate actually knitting it…do I have the tool for you!

I so wish I had this when I made the drawstring for my Wingle Hoodie last year, because that took foreverrrrrr.

This little tool makes i-cord way faster by replacing all that back-and-forth with one smooth, repeated motion. Once you get the rhythm down (takes a minute), you can just go without constantly stopping to move stitches around. 

Use it for drawstrings, ties, bag straps, and sweater details. Basically anything where you want that clean i-cord look without taking years off your life doing it by hand, the old school way.

If you want to see it in action, my good friend Autumn (the talented creator of the Cordsmith and the badass behind the Size Inclusive Repository) has a bunch of demos on her Instagram. Check this one out!  There are also great videos out there for i-cord cast-ons and i-cord bind-offs like this one.
