past actions: stripes

One nice thing this exercise cemented in my brain is that I like the thing of having thick stripes and thin stripes. I think that works. In fact, I think it works to have a thick stripe effectively framed by two thin stripes. With a small-gauge yarn like this, I could have considered going so far as to frame with the same stripe (maybe inverted) above and below a wide strip. With the thick yarn I made my sweater with, that would be too much, but I think that it's rather a nice idea with fine yarn.

I like the stripes that are similar, but variants. I like that they're separated by something very different.
