I hate I-Cords

I mentioned in a previous post that I am knitting Booga Bags for a couple friends for Christmas. I have one bag finished and have just started the I-cord for the strap. Oh. My. Gawd. I hate making I-cords. It has to be 5-6 feet long. I have knitted about two inches and am ready to gouge my eyes out with my knitting needles.
