Black and White

My progress in craft projects has been slow lately due to sporadic but more frequent perfect weather and general preoccupation with other random things. But I did have a sudden revelation that I can quite easily make “vertical” knitted stripes using stranded knitting (like fair isle knitting, though I don’t want to offend such intricate art with such a simple geometry as two tone stripe!) technique. …So I’ve started working on the arm warmer in 100% cotton yarn. I’ve had these yarn for a while wanting to make some kind of black/white stripes but couldn’t make the horizontal stripes to look right and I kept frogging it — I do think that vertical stripes look much better for this yarn!
