There are many methods to knit an icord. The technique for knitting an i-cord depends on the number of stitches you want to create. Maximum number of stitches allowed is five. You should pull the yarn before casting stitches to create high tension. The working yarn should be at the back of the work in this instance.
Apply stitches
Use a double pointed needle to cast the desired number and length of stitches for your i-cord. If the icord is longer than the original project, cast on the desired number of stitches using a double-pointed needle. The working yarn should be knitted across all stitches.
Casting stitches is an important part in knitting an icord. It provides a firm edge to the project's base. It can help make the first row of a project look finished. Cast on 3 stitches. Slip them to the left and knit the second two.
Picking up stitches
You must place the working knitting yarn on the right-hand side of the needle before you can begin to knit an i cord. The next step is to slip the working yarn through a loop on the needle, just as you would when knitting a stitch. Continue this process until you have reached the desired length. Finish the job by binding it normally once you have reached the desired length. It may be necessary to glue the ends together if the icord is very long.
Next, insert your needle into the i-cord with its point closest towards the stitch you have just cast. You should ensure that your i-cord is at the edge of the material. To start the icord, you can use the tail of your cast-on stitches. However, it is better to use yarn that ends at opposite end of needle.
Stitches
Casting stitches to make an i-cord is easy. Simply transfer the last three stitch from your right hand to your left-hand needle. Next, you will need to knit the front and back loops for these three stitches. You can now work the edge.
When knitting an i-cord, you should use double-pointed needles to knit the edges. These allow you work the stitches quicker. Then, move the stitches from the right needle to your left.
Hide yarn tail inside i-cord
To hide yarn tails in i-cord knitting the knitter should first start a new row by inserting the tip the right needle into the stitch. Then wrap the yarn around and pull the yarn through your work. Slide all stitches to one end of your needle. It is now ready to knit once the needle is in its correct spot. See a video demonstration of the technique here.
Use double-pointed knitting needles to cast the i-cord. Once you have cast on the desired number of stitches, do a provisional casting on with a scrap yarn and join it to a Kitchener stitch. After you've placed the working yarn, begin to knit all stitches. Do not turn your knitting; pull the yarn out from the tip of your needle.

How To
How to begin gardening
Gardening has been around since the dawn of agriculture. It requires patience, persistence and determination. The first step in starting your own garden is choosing a location where you want to grow food. You can choose to have a large area or a small one in your backyard. Next, you will need to decide which type of plants are best for you. Do you prefer flowers or vegetables? Some people enjoy growing herbs and others prefer raising livestock like rabbits. Before you decide what crops to plant, you should think about how much space is available. If you live in a climate that experiences cold winters, then you might decide to grow fruits or berries as they do well in colder climates.
After you have decided what you want to plant, it is important that you prepare the soil. Your plants' success or failure will depend on the soil they are placed in. The soil should be rich in organic matter to provide nutrients for your plants' roots. Organic matter can include leaves, twigs and grass clippings as well as manure and compost. Once you have prepared your soil, you need to add nutrients. You will need different amounts of nutrients depending on which type of plants are being grown. You can calculate these values online with a fertilizer calculator. There are many fertilizers available so be sure to know what you are purchasing.
After you have prepared your soil, and added the correct nutrients, you will need to wait until your seed germinates. The process can take between 2 and 3 months depending on how hot or cold it is in your region. After your seeds sprout, it is important to water them frequently. Overwatering your plants can lead to problems. Make sure to give your plants water at regular times and not overwater. Overwatering could lead to root rot as well as fungal diseases. Keep in mind that plants are more thirsty during summer than winter. Remember that some plants require drying out after being watered. For tomatoes, it is important to keep them moist but dry. Soggy soil is not good for them. After plants finish flowering, they need to go dormant. Plants go dormant when they stop producing new growth and instead store energy for next year's harvest. The plant ceases sending signals to its roots to produce food during dormancy. Throughout this time, plants can store energy. If temperatures fall below freezing or the plants are not getting enough sunlight, they will die.
Living in urban areas may restrict the types of plants you can plant. Concrete sidewalks, roads or parking lots can block sunlight from reaching urban areas. Concrete absorbs light, preventing the soil underneath from getting adequate sun exposure. Because of this lack of sunlight, many plants cannot survive in cities. Fortunately, there are still many plants that can thrive in an urban environment. Many trees, shrubs, and perennials can adapt to city living. Many annuals can be grown indoors, too, in containers. You can have fresh greenery all year round with container gardens.
You're now ready to plant after you have chosen where and what to grow in your garden.
