I often face the fact that girls complain that it is very uncomfortable to knit small details on hosiery spokes.
Of course, to knit 2 or 3 loops eternity on 2x or 3x hosiery spokes is tedious.
But there is a great way to make this work not a torment, but a pleasure.
In the English language this technique is called "I-cord". Abbreviation from English "idiot cord"-"idiotic cord" 8))).
The name indicates that everything is really simple, and every fool knows and can do it. 8))) but in due time for me this technique became the real discovery. and very simplified work. And considering that most often I knitting small cats and dolls, the problem with handles and tails has disappeared as such 8)))
Most likely you know this technique well, but maybe this master class will be for someone the same discovery as for me in due time.
And now finish with the lyrics and go to the Demo 8)))
For work we need 2 spokes and ball threads.
First we make this loop.
Now skip the hook through the ring, grab a long working thread and pull it out.
Now through the resulting loop once again stretch the thread (make an air loop) and tighten it, so that our loop was not very large.
On this principle continue to dial the necessary number of loops.
I was just knitting pens for chanterelles. I needed a hollow cord of 5 loops, which I typed.
Remove the loops from the hook and dress them on the spoke.
Take the working thread and put it to the first loop on the right side (the beginning of knitting).
Try to pull it as close as possible so that the hinges are assembled in circle.
and knit the whole range as usual.
Now shift the hinges to the opposite (right) end of the spokes, without turning over the work.
Natjagivem a stronger working thread and again knit the whole series.
Repeat this process until the length of our cord reaches the desired length.
Then remove the hinges from the spokes.
Dress them up on a hook. Cut the work thread.
Protjagivem the working thread through the loops
Tighten knot.
And the ends of the thread hide inside the hollow cord. That's all Wisdom 8)))
