This video cracks me up! You are my kind of knitter. Clearly you do not subscribe to the "knitting is soooo relaxing" school of thought.

This is so incredible! Knitting and power tools? You're my new hero!

YOU'RE A MAD GENIUS. I've been trying to figure out if the embellish thing was even worth buying and I found this video while looking. I'm pretty sure if it can withstand a drill it can withstand me using it.

I knitted over 5lbs of yarn in an hour this way. I freaking love you for this idea man. My husband thinks it's hilarious watching me "drill" my machine. Btw, I used a 9/32" flat head bit on my "Embellish Knit" and it fits perfectly.

Came back to read the comments just to see the drill bits that works perfectly! Cheers.

This is an answer to my prayers! Wow. I have been doing too much by hand stitch by stitch. Thank you for thinking this up. Love your reins also.

I love this! My husband suggested something similar years ago, but I never got around to trying it. Such a good idea!! Thanks for sharing.

This made me happy in the most basic and true way. Thank you.

That is ridiculously fast! I loved every minute of it! I would never have thought to use a drill with a flathead attachment to make the cord! That is what I call innovation!

Thank you for this - I don't think I ever commented when I first found this, but I've been using this trick for ages now to use up a stash of extremely fine yarn.

I took the plunge and tried this. All I can say is WOW!! After hand cranking 18 skeins of yarn I was more than ready to try it your way. It really works! Thanks ever so much!

I have a power drill. Now all I need is that embellish knit thingy! I don't even need to make I-cords but seeing ur video makes me want to make some!

I know right, an impulsive temptation

Thank you so much for confirming the need to be sure you get a flat head bit that fits!

Oh, this is fantastic. I've ordered exactly that i-cord maker and I can't wait for it to arrive so I can try this.

Really enjoyed this, really helpful, loved your energy in putting this video together.

Wow! That would use up a large stash quick! A few years ago I was making i-cord necklaces using double pointed needles and thread then putting large hole beads on them. It took a while and I sold a good bunch but I grew tired of the knitting part. I love the idea of the rug your making. I also have bulky weight yarn that looks like it is i-cord. Humm. I can make my own bulking weight yarn for some projects! I love your video. Thanks a bunch!!

What a fantastic way to speed it up. Thanks for sharing your good idea. Just got my cords making mill trying to get the hang of it your idea is very helpfull. 😉🙏🏼😍

that drill trick is a HOOT!! love it!

Awesome, this is exactly what I would do. I have some great ideas for big knits using icord, thank you for the inspiration!

thanks for great tip now I'm going to make that kool looking rug with all of my left over yarn....thanks so much for sharing😊

oOoO a scrap I cord! Good idea!

I'm so happy I found this video!! Thank you for making this, this is great 👍 👏

I laughed so hard when you pulled out the drill! So fantastic. Thanks for the great video :)

BTW...you are a genius! I luv youtube! Someone always has a better idea!

I love my "embelish knit" thing.. I never thought to use a power drill! i just used the crank for days and days! I do about 4 skeins per project.. it gets to the point where you don't need a weight

THIS IS SO GREAT!!!!!!!! This tip made me whole day--I really hate making I-cord by hand because it goes so slow, but this is great! Too bad this machine isn't able to handle worsted weight yarns, though. Thanks for sharing this technique!

Wonderful idea! Thank you for sharing! I will definitely be doing this.

This is so awesome! Thanks for sharing a great tip.

Brilliant idea - thanks for this!

Amazing idea!!!

That is awesome! What a great idea and thanks for sharing!

Love it. Love your common sense approach. 🙂🌲☘️

That was freakin awesome! The main project I want to make with icord is rugs.

Do it! Rugs come out so nice!

That was seriously awesome!

This is amazing! Thank YOU for sharing this magic ❤️

This is the best idea! Made my day!

Love the things you make with this iCord. I made my 7yo hand crank this. She boringly said how much work it was. I told her I used to do this by hand. A wooden doll, with 4 pins, one loop at the time. She just didn't believe me.

I recently bought one of those dolls at an estate sale 😆

I have used my small rechargeable screwdriver for this. Works great. I can only use weight 3 or under (usually shown on the label of yarn) . I have tried using 4 but it just wont work for me. I love this thing. I am making scarves from different colors of I-cord worn together.

This totally amazes me usually it is a man that wants to attach an electric motor spinning wheels or ball winders. Good work, great video.

Are you kidding me? You’re a GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!

I laughed out loud when you brought out the power drill. This is the best thing. XD

Omg this is the coolest thing I ever saw! It was extremely satisfying to watch. I watched it 5 times. My first Highlight of 2021!! I love to watch DIY AND hacks for various subjects whether is a wood shop tutorial, baking cooking, sewing knitting gardens electronic repairs watch repair . I love just watching them all. I live to see how everything is made or how certain tools gadgets or mechanisms work. The was extremely clever. You should figure out how to make a stand with a clamp to hold the I-CORD MAKER and DRILL, so your arms don't get tired. Or you should experiment with a dermal rotary tool. Reason why I suggested is because: -It is small and compact -it is light weight and decently powerful. - you can adjust the speed to various setting from a switch - the rotation is very consistent and synchronised -and it also comes with many many small useful mechanisms for multiple uses like polishing cleaning, grinding, cutting etc.here in Canada It costs like 50-60 bucks you should really check it out Or you can try using an inexpensive pedestal fan, maybe about 15-30 dollars. Just assemble the stand and rotary motor and doing attach the fan-blades and safety cage. Figure out how to fit the threaded rotating shaft to the I-Cord maker’s chuck. That will also give you some effortless consistent speed with a flick of a switch. Some how try to figure out how to clamp I-Cord machine in place. You can use your hands to sort and control the ICord making sure it comes out nicely. Holding a drill for minute at a time can get exhausting. And with the manual trigger on the drill the speed can fluctuate ... Other than that, it is a brilliant and time-saving IDEA. While watching you video I just what else can rotate that can save your arms from getting tired... You can also figuring out how to invent a yarn ball-wonder using the pedestal fan holder!!! Anyway, I hope you get a chance to read over my ideas that sprouted out from your genius hack. You should try and share a demo video... Looking forward to see more!! Happy New Year to you and your family!!!

Wonderful idea! Thanks!

Awesome!

omg amazing!! I was trying to figure outa faster way!! Thank you

This is Guinness, great thinking

What a great idea!!

You can make rugs, or knit with it as a super bulky yarn, makes a REALLY warm hat.

Totally awesome!! thanks for sharing!

this is incredible

Lady you are a Genius!! now where's my charger...

GREAT idea, thank you, I must admit when I saw you do this I couldn't help but laugh, it is so ingenious!! :-)

This is amazing!

American ingenuity. excellent

Brilliant. I love it.

You are brilliant!

Awesome. Thanks for sharing

LIFECHANGING

Totally Awesome!

Genius! 😁 love it!

I got my embellish knit yesterday and tried the power tool method, one very important thing for all of you thinking about doing this, be sure to check the size of your flathead bit. If it's just a bit too small you will end up scratching up the inside of your opening where the crank goes. Don't discount this method, it is really super fast and if you're doing a big rug project and need a lot of icord, this is the best way...just remember the tension!!!

This is FUN!!

Yes!!!! LMAO. I love to knit but don't have a lot of time, this helps. Thank you

You're my hero with this! xD Now to just get a drill!

You are officially my hero, LOL!!

Fantástico!! Obrigada!

HA! Lol! This is so something I would do/come up with. TYFS....so nice to know someone else thinks outside the box. P.S. tx for the smile.

This method looks fantastic. I am going to try it soon, I hope :-)

Wow, you're a genius! I'm going to try this weekend! Thanks for sharing. :-)

great job!!!!

LOL great your a genius. Love this

Your so funny, thanks for being you!! ohhh and also thanks for sharing this great tip. 😁

This looks like it could be a lot of fun. Another thing you could use it for is to make the squigly bits for a brain cap! *plots*

You are a Genius!!

Brilliant. 👍

terrific!

GENIUS !!!! I don't know what else to say!

That's kinda awesome.

You might find that a Clover Wonder Knitter makes I-cord faster than knitting by hand. Each time you make a stitch, you advance the spool with your thumb. It goes pretty quickly, and you don't have to factor in time to slide stitches to the other end of your needle.

Omg I've totally done this. I thought I was the only one. Hehe :))

Brilliant thank you for sharing! 🌺🌺🌺🌺

you are amazing thank you !!!!

This video made my day. :-)

Muito legal vou fazer!!
