The first one I did yesterday was 20m of 4mm inner diameter (6mm outer)
I could tell it was pushing the limits of the pump so I decided to make another new one today: 20m of 5mm inner diameter (9mm outer).
The thickness of the tubing (9mm outer) made it VERY hard to knit with (the pegs only had 15mm spacing thus you couldnt have 2 tubes next to each other) however with the help of Sylwia we managed. The 5mm inner made it MUCH easier on the pump.
Convinced enough of the tubing and technique I placed another order for tubes (4mm inner/6 outer and 5mm inner/7mm outer). I'm hoping to get away with making a jacket using only 50 meters.
Outstanding topics to work out include:
- open back or completely circular
- whether to add sleeves
- how to finish the ends
- how to add straps
