Create unique i-cord words and shapes with this modern guide to
French knitting! French knitting, also sometimes called spool
knitting or i-cord knitting, has been around for centuries. The
technique traditionally involves knitting with a handheld 'dolly'
or spool with four pins around the edge, to produce a narrow tube
of knitting known as an i-cord. The technique involves wrapping the
yarn around the pins and then lifting loops over to create the
stitches. It's a simple craft that children can do but is a little
slow to create the fabric, and many kids lose interest before a
decent length of i-cord is produced. Luckily, technology has moved
forward and now there is a hand-held mechanical mini knitting mill
available that makes light work of knitting i-cords. Once the
machine is threaded (with a grown-up's help) all you need to do is
turn the handle and watch the magic happen as the i-cord emerges in
seconds from the bottom of the mill! This fresh and modern book
gives you all the tips you need to get your mechanical mini
knitting mill up and running and then 40 fabulous ideas for
projects - from gifts to clothing, accessories to home decor and
more. No knitting mill? No problem! All the projects can be knitted
in the traditional method too. Children and adults alike will love
the unique designs included, with step-by-step instructions and
full-size templates. Create cute wired shapes, from flowers and
hearts to names and words. Sew i-cords without wires onto clothing
and bags for a unique, personalized look. Make gorgeous decor for
kids' bedrooms with wall hangings and dreamcatchers. Give handmade
gifts in the form of i-cord jewellery and hair accessories. Have
fun with pompoms, charms, beads, feathers and sequins to add some
bling! This beautiful book will get kids (and adults!) excited to
try out a traditional craft in a brand new way and enjoy the making
process - the perfect bonding activity to do with your kids! The 40
project ideas will spark further creativity - the possibilities for
this craft are limited only by your imagination - and will foster a
lifelong love of making. Mini knitting mill not included.
