How do you knit an I- cord?

Using a pair of double pointed needles, cast on 4 stitches. Instead of turning and knitting back the other direction, slide all four stitches to other opposite end of the needle and knit into the first stitch that you cast on. Knit the rest of the stitches on the needle. Slide them down to the opposite end and repeat. You are knitting in the round on a very small scale. Bind off as you would in the round. My aunt makes custom shoelaces by knitting I-Cord with number 10 crochet thread. -smcm


Knitting 30 stitches how many inches is it?

I think your question is: if you knitted 30 stitches, how long, in inches, would that be? There is no way to tell. Different types of yarn (wool, cotton, silk, rayon), stitch up differently. The size of the yarn--fingering, worsted, bulky--would change the length that 30 knit stitches would make. Also the size of the needle would change how long 30 stitches would be. If you really want to know, knit a swatch of 30 stitches, and measure it yourself. That is the only way to know for sure.

What size knitting needles are needed for 5 stitches to one inch using 8 ply?

I would say to first check what the label on the yarn ays for your project. However I know sometimes that isnt possible, so you have to make do. I would start with a size 5 knitting needles. First make a gauge swatch I knit about 20 stitches and about 15 to 20 rows, the measure how many stitches per inch I have. Depending on if your a tight or loose knitter you might have to go up or down a size or two. In general the smaller a needle is the more stitches per inch you can make, the larger a needle is the less stitches.


Why it is easier sew with a pointed needle than with a blunted needle?

Pressure is inversely related to the area on which force is applied. As the needle has pointed edge the pressure would increase and so it would be easier to go through the cloth for sewing purpose


What does it mean if you have holes in your knitting?

it means you have either added yarn overs or dropped stitches. it might mean you are a beginner or it might mean you are knitting lace and want the holes. or that you are knitting on needles slightly larger than you would use for a not holey fabric. P.S.: You are supposed to have holes in your knitting! The hole size is because the size of the needle. (ex: large size needles=large hole, small needle= small hole) Understand now?


Is forty million stitches considered a high stitch count for a 6 needle embroidery machine?

Yes, forty million stitches is considered a very high stitch count for a 6-needle embroidery machine. Most commercial machines typically handle between 1 to 10 million stitches per project, depending on the complexity of the design. A count of forty million would indicate extensive use or a large-scale project, which may require multiple runs or even multiple machines to complete efficiently.

What does fan stitch mean?

In crochet, a fan stitch is a group of stitches worked into one stitch. In most cases the stitches would be a combination of chains and stitches. For example, you might work double crochets separated by chain stitches or you might work 4 double crochets, a chain, and then another 4 double crochets. It doesn't have to be 4. It can be any number. The stitches should look similar to a paper fan or scallop. If the pattern calls for multiple rows of fan stitches, they are generally placed one on top of the other. Fan stitches can be small or large and incorporate any number of stitches, but the individual stitches are all worked into one stitch from the previous row.

How do you bind off a 2x2 rib stitch pattern?

To bind off a 2x2 rib stitch pattern, you would knit the knit stitches and purl the purl stitches as you normally would. When binding off, you would knit the knit stitches and purl the purl stitches together to create a neat edge. Continue this pattern across the row until all stitches are bound off.
