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. </p><br><p>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! </p><br><p>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.</p><br><p>Children and adults alike will love the unique designs included, with step-by-step instructions and full-size templates. </p><br><ul><li>Create cute wired shapes, from flowers and hearts to names and words. </li><br><li>Sew i-cords without wires onto clothing and bags for a unique, personalized look. </li><br><li>Make gorgeous décor for kids' bedrooms with wall hangings and dreamcatchers. </li><br><li>Give handmade gifts in the form of i-cord jewellery and hair accessories. </li><br><li>Have fun with pompoms, charms, beads, feathers and sequins to add some bling!</li><br></ul><br><p> <p/>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!
