I used to do this as a child when it was basically an empty spool of thread and four nails hammered at the top.
Same idea but way slower.
Carlos , think of the sound the knitting mill makes is the sound of a sweet tiny horse galloping..lol!
Take care ❤️ 🇨🇦
The wooden spool with nails and that beautiful “worm” that came thru was what started me on my love for knitting before I was 8 yrs old! 👍🏼🇺🇸✌🏼
I still do!
Then it became the knitting Nancy but we were too poor to buy one so dad hammered 4 very fine nails which he had filed down the head so the yarn could move off easily. He used an empty thread spool which were made from wood. Can't do it with plastic! Sad what we loose with the use of plastic??? Now it is packaged up to become trendy cord makers.
I am looking forward to seeing your scarf. The Tartis Scarf for (Dr) Who? Ha ha. It looks lovely and sunny there.

It seems like a universal knitting kickstarter!
That reminded me of a sweet memory! My Dad took me to a drug store that also sold small toys. There was a black hexagon-shaped box that held two very little wooden knitting needles, a wooden spool with six small nails, and three little balls of yarn (turquoise, magenta, and gold!), and my Dad bought it for me! I wanted him to teach me how to knit but, alas - He didn’t know how! He DID know how to work the spool and taught me. I was probably 4 years old at the time, and now am 68. I still have that spool and can feel a father’s love for his little girl whenever I hold it! He’s been gone for many years, but his love is always with me!
Can’t wait to see what you make with the
I-cord!
Neither can we!
me too
Me three
Me four!
Arne and Carlos I loved hearing Little Freya bark at Helmer. Was cute how Helmer went to Carlos for pets after Freya barked at him. Continued healing and health to you both
I remember as a kid we had a empty spool of thread with four nails put into the top of spool. Then wind yarn around nails to start making I-cord.
😀
😀
My dad would hammer nails into a wooden cotton reel. We called it French Knitting.
We did that too. Didn't know it was called an icord back then, but I remember the spool with 4 nails.
@@macsmiffy2197 Here in France, we call that "tricotin" :-)
How have I not discovered Arne & Carlos until now?!?!
It's like finding long-lost family. TY for all the great info.
Welcome to our channel!!
Tinsel for the Christmas tree, Arne! I know Carlos would love that! haha
😂
I was thinking the same thing 😁
Great idea!
As you mentioned, the I-cords are great to use as the tails of mice for cat toys. I put the 4 live stitches on needles and continue to make a mouse or just a ball. Felt it and then stuff w wool and catnip. Cats LOVE them!
Aha, clever!
I had an old interview video come up in my feed of Arne and Carlos being interviewed about ten years ago in Norwegian.They are sitting on this couch looking like two deer in the headlights.Things have loosened up considerably hehe and I really really enjoy the casual and funny videos.Its like hanging out with friends!♥️🇨🇦
I had the same interview come up!!
This gadget is much sturdier than others on the market. I use the i-cord for wrapping presents, among other things, and it makes a unique pretty package.
That is clever!
The i-cord would make a great rug. Thanks for showing us.
So good to see you both, thank you!
So glad you did this video. I bought one right away the first video you showed it on. Got it and then didn't know how to work it. Thanks! You two are great.
I’m looking forward to seeing what you make from the I-cord. That was a fun video, thanks. 👋
I was hiking today with hubby. Now watching you and knitting a Outlander shawl adding some lace trim from stash yarn. Love the I-cord gadget.
How fun is that! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the wonderful demonstration. I can’t wait to get inspired by what you make with the I-cord. This gadget seems like a nice one to have on hand.
It seems very calming!
My cousin had a homemade one made from a wooden spool and nails. I wanted that thing so much!😂 I had no idea what it was but I really wanted it. Thank you for showing an updated version that I can actually own and know what to do with it. It would make an awesome market bag.
I love the way you can make art with scraps. Thank you for some good ideas!
You are welcome!
Such a cool gadget! Love your dogs barking in the background! Thank You both I loved this video!
Glad you liked it!!
Very cool guys. I have a large basket full of left overs I was saving for the Icord machine. Now I know how to attach a new yarn and feel empowered to get started. Can't wait to see what you make Arne with your ball of Icord.
Whatever you knit out of that icord is going to be beautiful I'm excited to see what you decide!
Uansett hvor sur jeg er en dag, så holder det å sette på en av videoene til Arne og Carlos, som har en enorm effekt 🥰 tusen takk gutter 😁
Det var så lite!
Amazing tools, thanks for demonstrating their use.
A really fantastic way to use up left over yarn. Cannot wait Arne to see you using it in a project. Thank you Arne and Carlos for the inspiration. Take care until we see you on Wednesday.
See you Wednesday!
Great to see you again. Love the i cord.
Thank you!
Loads of fun it looks like😊
Love this. I may purchase one...so many uses and I love using the leftover yarns! Perfect, thank you. 💕🥰
A very fun way to use leftovers! Thank you for sharing this wuth us. Loved hearing the dogs barking too.
You are welcome!
Such an entertaining episode, Arne your excitement for the I-cord machine is so infectious and Carlos it is lovely to see you happy and well, despite the dogs’ attempts at ruining your peace! Stay safe and keep sharing your joy 🧶🧵🌼
Will do!
Looking forward to seeing your i-cord projects to inspire us! Carry on darlings!
Will do!
@@ARNECARLOS Maybe Arne can make shoes and mittens from the i-cord for Magnus. By the way, you spoke about a strange Scottish dialect. You must be talking about the Shetland Islands. These people used to be Norwegian and they do not speak Gaelic. I believe they have a mixture of old Norwegian and Gaelic or something strange like that. Anyway, their language is supposed to be nearer to Norwegian than Scottish. They have big Viking celebrations ever year. My great grandmother was from there. Try to go for Shetland Wool Week when it is possible. You would be a big hit.
Looks so fun! I can hardly wait to see what you make with the i-cord- it will be inspiring, I know!
Yes!
Love to hear the dogs playing
I just got me one. I have an old from 20 years ago. I love the upgrade on the prim one. Have a wonderful day. 🤗🤗
A nice episode again 👍👍 and you can also mittens and a hat and a doll making of the fun stuff 😃
As always........love you guys❣️
Watching those needles click ,click, click gave me such a flashback. When I was a kid I received a kid's knitting machine Christmas one year and it had a row of those exact same kind of needles on it and I LOVED that thing. When you ran the paddle back and forth on the track, it made a quick click, click, sound, just like your machine. I wish I still had that thing! I only knew how to make long strips of knitting but I was able to change colours, and made my Dad a 10 foot scarf. haha. Today, I was cleaning up my knitting room, figuring out how to re-organize some bits and bobs and came across my own plastic i-cord tool which I have had for years! I grabbed a little ball from my basket of ends, found a little wooden pin I received from a magazine in my little box, and now I am hooked! Thanks for another uplifting show that not only brought me a happy memory but started me finally using my own little i-cord maker. (I thought it was called a french knitting mill?) The Prym machine looks amazing. I might ask for one for my birthday present this year. lol
I had seen you working with the I cord machine in a previous video and had thought about buying one but held off. Now that I have seen this video I definitely am going to buy one. Thank you so much.
I have one of these I cord machinez, made by a different company. I have had it for many years and find it very useful.I am glad to see you are using yours and I am looking forward to seeing what you do with your cord. One thing you can do is applause it onto your knitted pieces! It makes cute doll hair and loopy pompoms. Way too much fun.
That’s for the fun video! I never thought about doing an icord scarf. That’s a great idea! Also, I talk to my dogs the same way when they bark at the toys and play with each other
😀
We spent hours as children making these cords with empty wooden thread spools and 4 headless nails. We didn't have yarn to use as a rule, but mom had lots of crochet threads that we could use. Can't wait to see what you make with yours. I like the idea of having a bowl full of these balls. Simple pleasures give the soul a rest. Happy week to you both.
That is so cool! I can't wait to see you knit something with the i-cord yarn.
xoxo's Sandie
These items are fasinating and I think they will be useful to create different products. Thank you. As always, I love watching the two of you.
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for watching!
Wow, I have never seen it before. Looks so fun. Nice to see you A&C and Freja and Helmer are so cute. Have a nice week
I bought mine over Christmas Ball Making time ! Now I’m motivated to start making mine. The Ball is so pretty on it’s own!!!
Thank you!
Entertaining and useful to make use of all leftover wool. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊
Loved the video where you unboxed the i cord machine and was inspired. I’m in the process of making a scarf where the stripes are vertical. Using lace weight yarn that has been in my stash for years. Now have a use for it.
Sounds like a fun project!
It made perfect sense! I love using up little ends of anything!! The scarf will be so great! A little project history around your neck Arne! Once I found a little box, like jewelry comes in, in a grandmothers sewing kit that was labeled ‘thread too short to use’! She wasted nothing! She raised her family during the Great Depression and had so little.
I love this! (My kids suspect I'm a hoarder)
Hi Arne&Carlos,
I remember doing this knitting on a empty wooden cotton reel with nails hammered in to the top, I think we called it french knitting.
Thank you for sharing
KimX
You are welcome!
This is so cool and perfect timing. I am making a shoulder strap for a purse I design for a challenge with my knitting club. I use 3, I-cord that I will braid. I love how quick the I-cord is growing.
That is some coincidence💗
That is sooo cool! I could sew it into a circle to put under my flower pots.
Yes!
Love the knitting gadget! The part that weighs down the I-cord is a weight. My Dad used to put one on my fishing pole to weigh down the hook. ☺️❤️
😀
I love gadgets! I think I would make throw rugs with the knitted I-cord. I have been using bowls to keep my yarn from “running” for quite a few years now. When I’m doing color work, it keeps my yarn from tangling. So helpful, especially when you have a cat. Having a covered bowl is even better! Since you are playing with your toys, Helmer wants to join you and play with his too! Have a fun and beautiful day!🌼
Thank you!
That’s a cool gadget to make I-cords by the tons. 💛 it. Thanks for the demo!😊
You are welcome!
Hi, looks like fun. Happy Sunday 😊😃.
Enjoy your Sunday Sylvia!
Your gadgets are great. Good looking i-cord also.
Thank you!
Great video! I remember using a hand one as a child. We called it "spool knitting." My Mom would sew the cord together to make little rugs for my dollhouse. I still have those rugs ... somewhere, in some box!! ha ha!! Thank you for sharing.
You are welcome!
We always knew it as "French knitting" but when I google French Knitting, spool knitting is what comes up and it's the same thing :)
Very clever. Looking forward to seeing the end result. I can see it would be very addictive. Take care guys and look forwArd to seeing you Wednesday. 👏🍰
See you soon!
I have an icord maker but bought this one because it attaches to a table. I am using my scrap yarn as you are however I am using it to crochet throw rugs!! It’s great fun!!
That sounds like a lot of fun!
Can't wait to see what you make with the icord when knitted!
Thank you to show us that... that verry great!!! yes you can do alot with I cord.. like carpet too!!
So inspired I ordered a knitting mill . I can’t wait to make cord with it🤗
We hope you like it!
Any item with an unknown name is referred to as a "doohickey"... You may also call it a "thingamajig" or a "whatsit". There are lots of American terms for these things. By the way, you gentlemen have the best doohickeys on UA-cam!
In danish those would be called "himstregims", "dingenot" or "dims" 😁 so many words to discribe that which we can't remember the name of.
There is also Knickknack. I would also add that Doohickey generally applies to items with unknown names that do something/have a function (hence the doo) and not just any unknown name item.
I was just thinking about how to make the i-cord you mentioned in a previous video. Thanks for the show and tell.
You are welcome!
I am not a gadget person either but this looks like fun ! i can see rugs and pillows and purses all made from my scraps . Thanks for the inspiration and the fun video, have a wonderful week, see you Wed....
See you!
U two r great, and funny. I was making Icords last nite, i use my small knitting loom an knitting spool too.
make them. It's fun to make them.
TY.
LOVE the new logo with Helmer there , too!!!!
Thank you Vicky!
Fun video! I used the Prim double ball holder to make your Christmas balls, it was perfect! My local yarn shop made icord hearts and hung them all over town for Valentine’s Day. The icord machine would be a great tool for that!
Sounds beautiful!
Really enjoyed this one. That I cord looks great. Thank you x
You are welcome!
Learned yet another new thing from you two. I never heard of an i-cord.
Always something new
Like to see your icord project and how you connect colors . I know sometimes we do things the same but sometimes not . Just nice to see others way they do things .
Take care you two .
Oh... I cord creativity..Arne once again you have placed a great spin on a gadget.
Thank you!
I used to make i cords on the little hand held ones, but didn’t know what todo with them, thanks for the ideas!
That looks fun.
So much fun, thank you ❤️
You are welcome!
Wow...very cool. I used to make these cords on wooden thread spooks with nails....this looks so much faster👍👍👍
It is!
Thanks for the video, so good to see you. My Grandmother taught me how to do an I-cord with an empty wooden spool of thread with 4 very fine nails in the top. She used a crochet hook. The end product looks the same. Your machine looks lots more fun. Thanks
You are welcome!
That's what I was going to say I used to do that with the spool and made a rug
I love my I-cord machine! I’ve made necklaces where I have wove the yarn I-cord into various knots 🪢
Sounds beautiful
I would love to see that please.
Francien Daniels-Webb I have no way to share a picture here. Are you in the Sit and Knit for a Bit Facebook group? I’ll post a picture there and tag you if you are 🙌🏼
I think 🤔 I am Laura thank you 🙏🏻🇦🇺🧶
Can you sell me a necklace?
Hi from Scotland! I always enjoy your podcasts. You look well Carlos! ...you too Arne hahaha 😆
Thank you😀
My i cord just arrived today. Hubby bought me it. Told him I saw it on Arne and Carlos.
Its a lot of fun. Now we need to make something with the icord.
Lucky you, we hope you like it and that you will be inspired to make a lot of projects.
Watched this lovely episode while flying from Minneapolis to Atlanta with WiFi on the plane... just visited my granddaughter and we made an i-cord on a toy shaped like a mushroom.
It’s the first thing we learn as children who want to craft🥰
😀
You guys make everything look interesting and now I want to try it! I too have plenty of scrap yarn!
Give it a go, it is almost like meditating!
my plan is to embroider the I-cord on a plain woven fabric, for a blanket. it will be a gray background and the I-cord (dark burgundy) will be embroidered in a celtic-knots-pattern. my original plan was to use a very thick yarn, but thanks to your video, i will now make an I-cord. thanks for the inspiration!
Hello from BC, Canada. Love the video. Just a note to tell you that not only do you teach me how to knit but your videos also give me comfort. My husband passed away yesterday and I found myself going way back to previous videos to watch. Especially you Arne, as you are my husbands Uncle Art's twin. Looks, accent build and humor. I am not telling you, looking for sympathy, but to let you know you give more than just knitting instructions. Thanks again. Your oldest fan.
We offer you are sincerest condolences about the loss of your husband, we hope you are doing fine and have family around you. Best wishes
Penny, sending you a virtual hug 💜
@@kellihayden3987 Thank you Kelli.
I cannot wait to see what beautiful clever project you use your Big Ball of iCord for ! I am using a lace weight in mine and it is really stable if you feed a thick yarn or cotton cording into the center of it
Hopefully we can record a video soon!
I love the I cord maker. ❤️
Love the Prym mill - I am making icord right along with you! Excited for ideas of how to use my icord ball.
Have fun!
So short ! I was already to sit back and hand quilt and enjoy your company . Till next week !
See you Wednesday!
Fascinating. Thank you. Sandra B.
You are welcome!
I loved your I cord I was another who used a cotton reel and nails stay safe x
Will do, you too!
I love this!
Fun! Very meditative!
It really is
Love the idea of I cord using up the leftover yarn, please show us the knitting project. Have a great week 😀
Will do!
Enjoyed watching you and hearing/seeing Freja and Helmer. You all reminded me of my husband, David, and our pet cat and me living on top of each other in our apartment in NYC's East Village. Of course our cat would have foresaken any toy for the balls of yarn. Actually I think the i-cord maker with the dangling yarn would make an excellent cat toy!
Great idea!
What a great idea!
Hi. Lovely work. I also did this as a child. Seem like you are going backwards. Can you work clockwise.
😀
After seeing the i-cord maker on your video just after you received it, I ordered one from Prym to make I-cord for the edges of my Quarantine KAL blanket. I LOVE this little machine! It's so much fun and it's addictive! Like Arne, I found that knotting on a new length of string and watching it carefully through the hooks/clips made it easy to guide the ends into the middle of the cord where they are completey hidden. I like Arne's idea of winding a big ball of yarn before beginniing to make the cord. I hope on the next video Arne will show us how to replace the yanr from the cord back onto the hooks after inserting it from below.
We are so glad that you like it!
Great gadgets. Thanks so much
In Germany it is called "Strickliesel" and is used with a crochiet hook. Step by step as the beginning of knitting for children. 😊
Can't wait to see the finished object!!
Hi Carlos & Arnie
Enjoyed your video and of course your company. Must purchase the equipment to make the cord. Like the look of the slippers too in fact love everything you display in your videos. You are both amazing.
Hope to join in the tutorial on the 11th April. Take care xx
See you soon Valerie!
