Knitting Zen

Oh, and the pattern calls for attached i-cord, i.e., you start at a corner and run up the side, then make a regular i-cord strap, then continue on down the other side, or something like that. I've never made attached i-cord before, but found several resources, including this one, which looks pretty good: I-Cord Tips and Techniques. I'll probably try a couple of different ones on a swatch before I commit, but I'm leaning toward not doing the one where you have to pick up all the stitches first. Anyone have any helpful suggestions?
