Here is one pair of 完了 socks, which show some of the effects you can get with this method: spirals, vertical 条纹s, 和 a moire effect.

These socks also have color variations within the 条纹: each vertical 条纹 is made up of two colors alternating, one each row.

袜子实际上很简单。首先，通过观察袜子的主体（编织成圆形以确保仪表正确）来计算一行的确切长度。然后，如果您将绞线缠绕成一排的确切长度，然后对其进行空间染色，则颜色会随着您的排列而排列'重新编织，为您提供或多或少的垂直条纹。

对于这些袜子，我使用了一种变体：我将丝绞线缠绕了两排的确切长度，因此前六种颜色在第一行中进行编织，其他六种颜色在第二行中进行编织。所以有六种颜色"叠"彼此隔着一行。

In this photo, the red on the far left 叠s on the purple on the far right, the left-hand yellow 叠s on the right-hand orange, the left-hand blue 叠s on the green in center, 和 so on around the skein. This skein gives a total of six 条纹s: red-purple, yellow-orange, blue-green, red-orange, yellow-green, 和 blue-purple, in that order.

如果此绞线的长度为一行，则颜色将以与绞线完全相同的顺序显示。

If you wind the skein with exactly even tension, 和 knit the sock with exactly even tension, just as was done on your swatch, you get vertical 条纹s, as in the center of this photo. However, this is pretty rare 和 takes a fairly experienced knitter. It'也不太有趣。

When the color repeat 和 the row length differ 通过 one or two stitches, as in the bottom of the swatch, you get a slowly drifting spiral with a lot more visual interest than plain verticals.

如果针迹长度太长"关"，颜色不't 叠 properly 和 you get colored static, not 条纹s. Here, in the center of the sock, the extra stitches for the gusset disrupt the pattern. It doesn'不需要花太多时间-甚至是四针或五针"关"会做的。

如果开始变静，请尝试增加或减少几针-我发现我不得不"做傻事" the stitch count to get the 条纹s to line up.

有趣的是：我认为我必须在不同的张力下缠绕部分绞线。条纹开始移动到袜子的右侧（照片的顶部），然后向左漂移（照片的底部）。向右漂移意味着颜色重复仅比单行的长度短；向左漂移表示颜色重复仅比单行的长度稍长。

我实际上改变了每双袜子的针数，以使条纹更多变化。 （我将增加/减少粘贴到了袜子的后面，所以他们没有't show.)

无论如何，我希望这使您相信，色织纱线可能会很有趣，尤其是在袜子中……我希望编织更多示例，但我真的很喜欢这些彩虹袜。

这个技巧也适用于毛衣，但是您'在您进行整形的任何地方都将保持静态。将成型部分中的水平条纹（使用不同颜色的纱线）与"伊卡特"不规则部分的条纹...如果您尝试，请给我发照片！

This is my own design. The 完了 shawl is 68" across, 和 is a "ring shawl"--fine enough to be drawn through a woman's wedding ring. It contains about 2300 yards of 2-ply yarn,...

The yarn is 50% bombyx silk 和 50% merino wool, from a commercially prepared top I bought at my local fiber shop, 金羊毛. It measures 40-50 wpi 和 8500 yards per pound (500+ yards per ounce!). That's about the thickness of a pin, or a thin 缝制 needle.

The complete shawl, from design to completion, took 15 months 和 350-400 hours of work. (!)

I knitted this shawl to celebrate a return to daily life, after returning from my travels/pilgrimage, 和 knitted into it the things I felt were essential to 美好的生活. It's a "披肩".

它是一个圆形，分为八个部分，每个部分有八个图案。 （在左侧显示了一个完整的部分。）

在佛教中，八代表八重道路。在维卡（Wicca），它代表了年度之轮，即季节过去时的周期。正如他们所说，八乘八的主题是"一个吉祥数字".

接下来的两个图案分别代表亮色（普通三角绣针迹）和暗色（镂空星形图案）。在维卡，光明与黑暗不是对立的，而是互补的：它们以日复一日，年复一年的周期相互跟随。有时一个更大，有时一个较小，但是两者总是存在。一个或另一个的完全胜利将摧毁所有生命。

因此，本节部分内容是关于平衡我们生活中的光明与黑暗-记住欢乐与悲伤是相伴而行的-还涉及到记住我们所有人中都有黑暗与光明。否认黑暗就是摧毁光明。因此，人们必须接受黑暗的存在-和 light--in everyone. That prevents us from ever seeing another being as entirely evil (or entirely good). Light 和 dark, in balance.

Getting metaphorical, the spiral shawl represents an inwards journey to enlightenment: the four elements in balance, then recognizing the balance between light 和 dark (good 和 evil, sorrow 和 joy). These are all external. The two internal values are action--the bridge between the outer 和 the inner--and then, finally, at the very end, the center--compassion. That we come to the center at the end, on the edge of the shawl, closes the Wheel of Life, beginning the cycle anew.

I spent a lot of time meditating on the components 和 values of "美好的生活" during the 15 months 和 350+ hours I worked on the shawl....It is indeed a "披肩"，从各个方面讲。我希望你've enjoyed the tour.

披肩的开始...回到我们开始的地方。一世'我明天开始新的设计。

（永不停止，对吗？）
