So, after my post yesterday with the lanyard for my glasses, I tried to create a mug mat using the fabric created. To be honest, I'm not sure what's the purpose of the Addi Egg. The 'stuff' (no idea what to call it) created by the icord machine is a different something altogether. The Addi Egg had 6 hooks that are quite big. The i cord machine hooks appear to be like knitting machine hooks. So much smaller. The cord i created feels like marshmallow at the side of something practical and compact. This is my attempt at a mug mat. Putting something on it will crush it! And it might not be in a uniform way. So it could cause spillages. If anyone has an Addi Egg, what do you use yours for? I did consider using this to create the dog toy in the patterns area. The tension is too loose and won't last 5 mins!

I've been fascinated with all the things people can create with the icord machine. I have an Addi Egg, which I've hardly used. Anyway, I tried to use it and the cord that I produced was ropey to say the least! A few of you suggested I needed a weight to make it consistent. I had a look on Amazon and it showed the Egg with a weight I didn't know it had! When I finally found the box, the weight and handle were in the bottom! So this is a chord for my glasses I've just made and I'm delighted. What a difference the weight made. Thanks for the suggestions.
