I've been exploring the i-cord -- it fascinates me. Two dpn's, a bit of yarn and a tube is born. My brain explodes with possibilities as I play with various yarns so you'll see more pieces as time goes on.
The pictured necklace is knitted from i-cords using less than 1/2 skein of Plymouth's Koigu, Col.#46. I made five cords in graduated lengths and joined them at the ends with a band of stockinette that curls naturally at its edges, echoing the the i-cord chains. This necklace evolved quickly as I knitted. By the time the first cord was finished the design was settled in my mind and the rest was a treat as I watched the cords growing and the magic of Koigu Colour taking over.
You can see how the pieces were joined in these images. One of the best features of this project was how quickly it came together; very satisfying. It makes a good travelling project as well so I'm thinking a few friends will be receiving necklaces as gifts over the next few months.
It's way past bedtime, so must leave this entry here.
