Thank you Rebecca!!! This video helped me get the exact self-striping yarn I wanted. I took a deep breath and made SIX different-colored stripes. I posted photos of the steps and final product on the ChemKnits FB group. So happy!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I'm so glad I could help!!!

[@kittylevee4662]

OMG‼️😱 KNITTING‼️ When I try to knit, my stitches multiply like bunnies‼️😱🤣

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

That happens to me sometimes when I crochet! I cannot keep count.

[@sabrinataljaard]

I love how you show us the math involved and colour mixing to repeat colours. This of course along with all your dye experiments. Thank you for taking us along!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Thanks so much 😊

[@JADufault21]

Halfway through the video I had to go ball up the skein which I then divided into two balls. Did a test knit- 64 stitches on 2.25 mm needles. With my gauge I got 2-1/2 to 3 rounds of each color. @Chemknits Tutorial I posted a photo in the FB group for anyone interested in seeing how it looks. I ended up re-balling the yarn so the stripes will go light to dark as I didn't feel like doing toe-up socks. Rebecca, thank you for re-skeining the yarn!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

EEEK this sounds amazing!!! Thank you thank you thank you for sharing this!

[@deejcarter2003]

I think a chalk talk would be a good idea because it would then be a reference that could clear up any misunderstandings we may have. I love the colors you chose and would love to see you do stripes for sock knitting 🥰

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I'm sure Keith will let me borrow his office for one. (We have a white board in there! :D)

[@kaylaverros]

This is the only kind of math I'm interested in doing. More math, please!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Awesome!!

[@daniellecordova2255]

What a awesome dye that was. I never even thought about how that yarn is made. Duh! 😂

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Thank you so much!!!

[@itakejelloshots]

Seeing projects done with the colors from testing on minis is so amazing! This is such a rewarding process, the customization possibilities are endless!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

It is sooooo fun to reference my mixing videos!

[@moonbitaylor9500]

When I’m dyeing stripes, I use hairclips (the bendy ones which flex open and closed) to measure and mark the sections. They are quick and easy to get on and off. 🙂

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

OOoo great idea!

[@theresasatterfield2828]

I have never even thought of doing this. You made it look doable. Thanks Rebecca 😊

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

You are so welcome!

[@newmoonjlp]

Yes, please, to a Math Livestream! This was a lot of fun, thanks.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Awesome! I'll have to collect questions for it. I haven't done a chalk talk for a while, lol.

[@saraa3418]

The math stuff is most useful for me in showing my kids that you will use algebra throughout your life and fractions and cross multiplying don't just go away.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

YES! YES! YES!

[@cathleenwhite9991]

I actually think I could do this and the colors as usual are so pretty.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I hope that I broke it down in a way that would be easy to follow! You should try it!

[@carolcorcoran9643]

Gorgeous yarn great job all your triangles paying off. More math video would be great

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Thank you! Will do!

[@gudrunmull6877]

Oh wow. You are so amazing. I want to try it by my Self. I am glad to See and learn so mutch from you. Greatest wishes from Germany

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Thank you so much!

[@kat1984]

Assistance with the math would be very helpful. Same with calculating yardage/ dye for self-striping socks.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Since I don't really knit socks I don't have a lot of that information for myself, but I could work through the theoretical calculations. :D

[@KitAlda]

oh, oh, do a self striping with one or more of the stripes speckled!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I'd love to do this again! This one has some subtle speckling on one stripe: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYuTmq16mtytosk :D

[@beverleylawton6899]

A great, fun and informative video- thank you. Help with the calcs would be sooo helpful (maths scares me!) please🙏 I really love how the three coloured self striping turned out and found the knitted swatch really helpful too 🙏

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I'm so glad I could help!!

[@davidhensley76]

When you lay out the skein to dye 4 sections instead of 3, one of the sections could be speckled.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

That would be awesome!!

[@jamesking8650]

Thank you for all of the tutorials! I watched so many of them before my first attempt at dyeing yarn today and they were very helpful😁😁

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

You are so welcome!

[@bjchadwick4261]

Great video. Very clear on the technique and beautiful yarn.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Thank you so much!

[@sheilapollock-bowlin3887]

I would love to see your more detailed math tutorial. Your explanations are very good.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Awesome! Check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/favZZ32mZt6NgJo but I'll also try to do a livestream where I can work through things in real time.

[@monicapttrsn]

I didn't mean to pressure you into knitting some swatches. You are right. You are just one person putting out several videos. One person can only do so much. I would do some calculations on the chalk board. A lot of people might need help with the math. I understand your math already, but the calculations are worthy of laying out on a chalk board like an Instructor.

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Oh please don't worry! I get this request multiple times a week from many people.

[@monicapttrsn]

@@ChemKnitsTutorials Also, your stripes are beautiful. I started dyeing because of you. I am so thankful for you. I was just a knitter. You have helped change the course of my life in a wondering yarn-dyeing direction. I'll explain more in a couple of weeks. p.s. I only agreed with the chalk board writing because a lot of people are being inspired by your work. You are an Instructor.

[@dominiquemichaud7945]

SO pretty! Good job!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Thank you! 😊

[@pattichambers7100]

The yarns are beautiful!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Thank you!

[@carolinevandyk3382]

Excellent tutorial once again! Help with the math is always appreciated ; )

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Happy to help!

[@jeanbadeaux1486]

Rebecca this is a gorgeous outcome....really stunning! Question..if you use the Mason jars to achieve this color way could you set it in the microwave?

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I think that you could. I don't use commercial dyes in my kitchen microwave and I don't have a dedicated dye microwave so this is why I tend to use the insert in a pot.

[@knittedkneil7077]

Hi the Rebecca! WAS THIS WHAT YOU MEANT WHEN YOU SAID THERE’D BE MORE MATH OF DYEING VIDEOS??? coz I am HERE FOR IT. 😬 I absolutely love the idea of a chalk talk video though, wondering if I could drop in and be there for any of that? I’m thinking of doing a survey of all my acid dyes and I think between the two of us we might have a big enough data set 🤣

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

I think I filmed this one and the blue & yellow color mixing videos in the same week. I had all kinds of calculations written up. :D Oh man, I need to organize my acid dyes so badly. I'm overwhelmed with choices sometimes!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

And I think I'll try to set up a chalk talk sometime soon. I need to get a way for people to submit questions and things like that.

[@knittedkneil7077]

@@ChemKnitsTutorials I can help with that! Maybe set up a Google form/ survey? ALSO :] Im building a spreadsheet on acid dyes I can share with you!

[@blackbean4509]

Beautiful results 😍😍😍

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Thank you!! 😊

[@christinemurphy8862]

I’d love to see the math worked out!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Awesome! I don't love editing down math portions because it feels long a lot, but I can come up with some calculations that would be good for a chalk talk.

[@harryreilly1760]

HI MY NAME IS ANNA-MARIE REILLY. IAM USING MY HUSBAND'S COMPUTER. I WOULS LOVE IT IF YOU WOULD DO A VIDEO WHERE YOU WRITE EVERYTHING OUT ON A WHITE BOARD. i JUS STARTED DYING YARD AND EVERY INFORMATION WOULD HELP. THANK YOU.

[@kittylevee4662]

When you check with a spoon to see how much dye is left, why don't you use a white spoon⁉️🤔 💜💙💚💛🧡❤

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Great question! My white spoons are all plastic and would melt in a warm dyebath. I use the metal spoon because I can get a bit of a picture even if it isn't perfect.

[@ileneklayman3440]

Stunning!

[@ChemKnitsTutorials]

Thank you! 😊
