La Cuerda
by Laura Nelkin
Knit jewelry is an excellent way to use up smaller bits of handspun. La Cuerda, a long sinuous rope, plays with a new technique Laura developed for working beaded I-cord. Beads are placed on stitches to create rings of sparkle around the entire I-cord strand. The beads are added individually on regular stitches and in sets of three on elongated stitches, creating a pattern of color and texture throughout the strand. It’s incredibly addictive to experiment with the placement of color. Start to play, and see what you come up with — the possibilities are endless! La Cuerda is long enough to be worn wrapped two or three times around the neck and is easily adjusted to make it longer or shorter.
