Finished in about a week, but didn’t soak and block for a while.

I got ten stripes before I ran out of green, with just a few yards left. I knit the border until I couldn’t take any more, and was left with 21.5 grams of that color.

Actual color is somewhere between the outdoor wide shot and the detail shots. The darker color is not unlike black olives, with their black/brown/purple/gray not-any-one-color-ness.

I decided not to use my blocking mats/wires because I’d be too tempted to stretch it more and it’s already big enough (~65” wingspan, ~26” spine).

I loved the pattern with one exception: Because of how the short rows are done, there is an inconsistent number of stitches left at the narrow end, and the wrap-and-turn spot varies in distance from the edge on each row. This caused some of the overall fatter stripes to look strangely skinny at the right edge. I moved some of the wrap-and-turn spots in later rows to mitigate this.

If I made this pattern again, I’d change the short rows to work like this:

1. Knit all the way across, doing increases normally.
2. Turn, knit until 20 stitches from the end, wrap and turn.
3. Knit all the way across, doing increases normally.
4. Turn, knit until 20 stitches before previous wrap, wrap and turn.
5. Repeat rows 3-4, ending after an odd row with fewer than 20 stitches worked (or slightly more if you’d otherwise end up doing a w&t within the edge stitches).
6. Knit all the way back to start.

Do skinny stripes normally.

I think this should give you the same size/shape of stripes and should take almost exactly the same amount of yarn, but the skinny ends of the stripes will all “match” better.
