Ah. I generally double that when knitting on the standard gauge machine, so
think 2 strands for 60 stitch socks as an example; 4 strands for roughly DK
knitting. One really spiffy thing to do is to start with 4 strands of one
color, and replace one strand at a time with a second color as you knit.
How many rows of each mix is up to you, but the resulting gradient can be
very attractive in a sweater, or even a simple scarf or shawl.

Hi Stella,

I think the kumihimo handles are the kind of work that Els is so famous for.

Yes. Kumihimo is a way of braiding complicated patterns into a cord
(usually round), with a simple set-up that lets you keep track of where
you were easily. They make good handles for bags, or dog leashes, or
necklaces, depending on what kind of yarn, string, thread, etc you start
with.
