    Thank you. I’ve watched a few other video and this was the one I was able to make one. Love that you had the errors still in the video, so I knew what to expect at times. Great video for your 2nd time using this product

    Tracy I have one of these, I bought mine a few years ago, mine is a different brand to yours but works exactly the same, and as you say they're great, you can use all your scraps of yarn to make rugs and baskets for your favourite pet, thanks for the demo and keep well.

    Thats one of the things on my wish list. I think that would be so fun to play with. It would make cute friendship bracelets. It might be fun to try a sport weight yarn or even the DK and use rhe cord to make a bag.

    I'm in the US. I found a used icord machine. They let it go so cheap that I was afraid there was something wrong with it, but I followed your instructions and I just made my first drawstring cord for some bottoms I want to sew.
    I'm thinking that I might want to get another one for backup. Everybody keeps saying we will be at war with China in another year or so and I really don't think we'll be getting imports if we do.
    I got stocked up on sausage twine. It's a size 10 thread like Baroque Cotton bedspread thread. Nice and smooth and got more yardage for half the price so I can dye it to match.
    There are a ton of things I can do with these cords. Happy dance!
    Thank you for this video, you did a great job showing the needles.

      @@crochetrocks I hope they are, too! However, an economic war is already ongoing. Most people don't pay much attention to what is going on. China has been buying up large strips of acreage near our military bases. One in TX, they put an airstrip on it and built a huge bunker. We've got young Chinese men coming across our border. The news reported, over 4,000 since the beginning of the year that they are aware of.
      A couple of years ago, Chinese military were training in Canada.
      It's not looking good. I don't know how things are going to turn out, I'm just trying to prepare for whatever happens and crafts are a good therapy for stressful times.

      Do these exist with a button, rather than a wheel, so you don’t have to keep turning it? I would rather have this one, because I don’t know how to do anything like this, and I’m interested in starting a craft with these, so I would want to feel like I was actually somewhat making it, rather than just a machine. I was just curious if they had one even more advanced. This is a really cool invention.

    When you are getting started, you might try either putting your crochet hook up from the bottom and snagging that yarn or putting something like a paper clip and dropping it down as a weight.
