Thank you. I've been knitting 36 years and never knew how to do this.

Thank you! This is actually very similar to how I "solved" the problem when I just couldn't do an icord cast on in my latest project, except that I decided to crochet the icord instead of knitting it. It's nice to see how others do it and maybe I'll try knitting it next time. 😄

Thanks! Yes, I noticed many knitters have the same issue. I will try crochet cord next time. By the way, crochet cord might be faster option. 👍

@@kristinavirka Yes, it definitely was faster for me, also because I would have ended up having to start over several times when trying to knit the cord. 😅 It felt a bit like cheating though because I crocheted. 🤣 But in the end, I guess whatever works is fine. 😄

@@lunalucid I get you. I am, (as it turns out) perfectionist too. But that is doing more harm than good 😂

Thanks! I came across this situation a few years ago and didn't get this continuous i cord cast on I wanted to use for my summer top. I tried and tried to make it look good, looked up on google what could be wrong. I found just 1 answer in some knitting forum, and my concerns became true - it is nearly impossible :) So, I wanted to share this!
