Something to Fidget With

Lucet cord. Malabrigo indiecita

A while back I learned to Lucet through a little class that involved emailed tutorials (most of them seem to be here - scroll down). I learned the basic cord and set it aside, but then when I hurt my arm I got REALLY fidgety not being able to do anything. I decided to see if I could make lucet cord since it's a different motion than knitting or crochet. I could, but only for short bits of time.

Lucet cord. Malabrigo indiecita

I grabbed some leftover sock yarn and started playing. I'm still making cord (slowly) and I have somewhere between one and two yards. The yarn is Malabrigo Sock in Indiecita and I love the cord it makes. I have no definite plans for the cord, but since I can use it for anything I would use a commercial cord for, and I can cut it any length, I plan to just keep making cord until I run out of yarn.
