What was your inspiration?

I couldn't find a clear, understandable tutorial for how to do i-cord around something, so I puzzled it out. I shot a video, wrote up a pattern, and shared it with others so it would be clear for them too.

What are you most proud of?

I'm proud of the response the pattern got on ravelry. I'm also proud of how simple yet wonderfully functional it is, and my earbuds have remained absolutely tangle free. Mission accomplished.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Wrap up your earbuds so they're nice and tidy, and make sure your stitches stay nice and tight.

I'm making a couple for friends who sent me their earbuds, but I don't think I'll be selling them. I'd have to buy the earbuds, and who can tell if people will want regular earbuds, or the phone type? LOL ;)

Mimzy- have fun, and remember, bundle up the earbud cord with a rubber band so it's easier to work with as you go! I'll be excited to see your earbuds when you're done!
