The tube worked out quite well on this scale. 40m of tubing covered an area of 800mm x 400mm
= 320 000mm²
Ideally what we want is one side to be 8m x ~1m which is an area of 8000000mm²
Knitting 40m of tubing took approximately 40 minutes therefore about 1 minute per metre of tubing
If we have 4 sides each 8m x 1m then according to these calculations we will need 4000m of tubing
If we have 3 sides each 8m x 1m then according to these calculations we will need 3000m of tubing
Hi! I got your note on my blog. I'm not sure what kind of "creases" you mean, but if it's what I am thinking, three things might help: (1) You might try a slightly larger needle; (2) You might try heating the tubing slightly immediately before knitting it, to make it more pliable; then it would "harden again" afterward; (3) Sometimes knitting needs to be yanked and cajoled into the shape you want--lace needs this (blocking) to open up--so you might try giving the work a pull every couple of rows (or when it's done) to make the stitches straighten up and stand the way you want... Let me know if this is helpful! Hannah (KnitSix)
