I just tested an idea.
I was having a problem slipping the wire into the center of the I-cord. So I decided to see how my I-cord maker reacted if I put the wire into the middle of the machine and see if the machine would knit around the wire.
It worked beautifully!!
Now all I need to do is bend it how I want it without worrying about damaging the integrity of the yarn inside the I-cord tiny tube. I’ll add a photo in a moment.
