The stripes are coming! If you ignore the poor dye job and the blobs of white wax, you can see stripes! Since my poor dyeing technique and the unfortunate wax decision don't really have much to do with the outcome I was testing -- the striping effect -- I consider this a success! However, I did have a moment of embarassment as I began knitting. I knitted and knitted and the stripes seemed to be coming out about twice as wide as I expected them to be. Hmm ... What could be causing this? I expected some variation, but twice as much? Surely my math wasn't that bad ... Oh, yes, it was.
I put the pegs 15 inches apart thinking that if a row of knitting used 30 inches of yarn, you would wrap it twice for one row of knitting. Does anyone see the fallacy here? The yarn goes TO the peg -- 15 inches -- and BACK from the peg -- another 15 inches -- for a grand total of 30 inches for each wrap. So, each row of knitting would be only one trip around the peg, not two. Oh, well. The proportions will still be the same.
