Do you ever do spool knitting or French knitting? It’s a different way to make knit cord, much like an I-cord, but if you have a little crank-powered machine that will make the cord for you, it’s actually a lot faster than knitting it by hand (and spool knitting is a great project for little kids who might not be ready for needles, too).
But what to do with all those lengths of cord? My Poppet has a great idea in these knotted coasters.
The knot looks super complicated but she promises it’s not too bad once you get the hang of it. And the results are lovely and would make a great housewarming or hostess gift without a lot of fuss.
If you make knit cords with a French knitter or otherwise, I’d love to know what you do with them! This is one of the things I’m planning to do with my students this summer, but I’m not exactly sure how to use them.
