As usual Roxanne, a wonderful demonstration and so detailed. Thank you so much for all that you do. Much appreciated . Carol❤

I am so thrilled with this technique. I’ve made this baby blanket a number of times. There are both garter stitch and stockinette rows. I usually add a selvedge as I knit but forgot to do that this time. I LOVE the look of the all around I cord!

Thank you so much for this helpful tutorial on applied I-cord edging. I just finished the pink edging around a 72" scarf that I designed based upon Breton stripes in blue, white, red, and pink combinations.

Best tutorials are by Rox Rocks! You ROCK Roxanne, as always!

Thank you...your methodical approach to various knitting topics has enhanced my practice. I swatch alot more instead of just looking at what's on YouTube or Google. Swatching is one of the best strategies for developing knitting skills and if you make the swatch a bit bigger than the traditional 4"x4" square you make a doubly useful item such as a dish cloth, hot pad, or even a doll blanket. YOU ROCK! ☺

Thank you Roxanne for a wonderfully clear tutorial 😊❤

This is a great edge, and I needed a reminder of how to do it!

[renatastec]

exactly what i was looking for, so i came straight to your channel, i knew you would have this lesson for us - thank you Roxanne, you are a star!!! <3

[hilarycohen]

Your videos are so very clear. And wonder of wonders, you knit Continental. So great!

[Catra]

Thanks for this, Roxanne! You always make it so I feel like I can tackle any new technique with ease. Although, there's that swatch suggestion, which I have very rarely done in my decades of knitting experience. Maybe it's time to teach this old dog some new tricks!

Gracias, Roxanne, por esta explicación. Soy de Argentina, no hablo inglés, sin embargo, he podido entender muy bien tu explicación. Besos!!

Thank you for this great tutorial. It was very clear and helpful!

[virginiamagann]

I don't see your 'view' number go up when I check this instruction again (and again ...). I like to do an i-cord edge around blankets and I have to review the kitchner directions any time I use that method as a finish.
I recommend your instructions and discussions to other knitters. You are among the best on YouTube. Thank you for the time spent in preparing and presenting your videos.👏

Thank you Roxanne, this is a very nice technique, easy to understand and it produces a lovely effet.


I finished knitting my Palm Tulp Mitts, in bright yellow which really gives the pattern a good visibility, I get loads of compliments for them and I want to thank you again for that lovely pattern. It was pure pleasure to knit. I put the pictures on Ravelery.


I would really appreciate information on blocking techniques, cold, warm or hot water, does it vary with the type of yarn used, if you agree to tell us that. There seems to be a lot of contradiction on the subject and I value your expertise very much.
