Any kind of yarn will work, especially something with at least 2-4% Lycra/Elastane/Spandex.

Avoid boa yarns--harder to see the stitch while knitting or crocheting.
Stretch fabrics might work (sewing conductive thread), but I'm not certain.
Spring scales are too long for our purposes.

Same for push pull gauges, and they're expensive.

But we don't need either-just stretching the conductive cord will work.

Some handcrafted sensors

Not useful, but cool

Fabric can be anything, but best if they're the same color and fabric type. (knits, that sort of thing)
Velcro is a good option for securing the bands to our ankles. There's also buttons and snaps, if we need them for the aesthetic.
Nope, the plain Arduino board isn't gonna slice it. We need something thin and decorative.
The only time we'd be looking at our feet is when we move close together for rotation, so that's the only time a light would be helpful.
A proximity sensor could work, size wise--and there's the light sensor we used in class.
--Feedback-sound? over background noises; touch? brief tension on ankle
