Knitted quickly on the LK150 (dial 4).
Used a Turkish cast-on to work front and back from the same base of sitches.
Casted-on 71 stitches instead of 63 and added 12 extra rows to compensate for finer yarn.
Rope was knitted in a matter of minutes with the Tulip I-cord knitter which works like a charm.
The embroidery was a bit of a challenge for me …
