Thank you so much for doing this! I'm still relatively new to knitting (skill-wise) and have a tendency to take on things a little more challenging than I should. And reading knitting patterns is still confusing to me sometimes. This really makes the pattern more understandable. I can't wait to continue my challenge!
Jennifer I want to say a huge thank you for this tutorial. I wouldn't have jumped on this MKAL if you hadn't done this. Would you consider doing tutorials for the other clues too?? Pretty please!!!
By popular request, I am going to shoot a tutorial for each MKAL clue. I apologize that the first one (and possibly the second) wont be out before the contest deadlines for those clues. But it is my hope that starting with Clue 4, the remainder of those tutorials will be released closer to when the actual clue comes out. I’m so glad you’re joining us!!!
You’re welcome! I did want to be sure you’re aware (and actually wanted to redo this video because I didn’t make it clear) that this only applies when working the i-cord itself. Once you begin body rows, the stitch before you reach the edge will often have the yarn coming from the opposite direction of where it would be to utilize this reminder. I strongly suggest putting a stitch marker on the right side of your work, so you always know which side of the i-cord you’re working when you reach it after working across the body.
Thank you, thank you, thank you❤. I’m on row 30 of border and changed my needles to shorts as I kept getting tangled in the cord. I’ll change back to circular when I pick up stitches.
Would be nice if this was explained in the pattern and we didn’t have to go hunt down a video when we’re used to doing a real eye cord instead of this mock eye cord

Thank you for this!! I wasn't going to try the i-cord edge. The instructions looked very confusing. This video made it so easy!!!
You’re welcome!!! I’m so glad it was helpful.
Thank you - I love your ideas for reminding you which side you are working on

Oh my gosh was this a lifesaver! Thank you thank you THANK YOU

You’re welcome!
I just took the cord off my tips since I'm working with interchangeable needles
Thank you for this video! It's so helpful!
You’re welcome! I’m glad it was helpful.
I just learn I can’t go by the legend. The dots keep changing from pearls and knits. That’s why my swatch didn’t look right.😂.
😂 Sorry about that. Yes, what the symbol means changes on the wrong side so the overall patterning shows up.
@writermomo4 it's going great now, halfway done with clue one
Would be nice if this was explained in the pattern and we didn’t have to go hunt down a video when we’re used to doing a real eye cord instead of this mock eye cord
