I got the same issue, blitzing my way through to a roadblock, error i get despite trying a few fixes with what i have learnt but nothing;

@mixin stripes($direction, $width-percent, $stripe-color, $stripe-background: #FFF) {

    $direction,
    $stripe-background,
    $stripe-background ($width-percent - 1),
    $stripe-color 1%,
    $stripe-background $width-percent

invalid syntax on line 8 of main.scss

It looks like you’ve put your new list variable inside of your stripes mixin. Instead of doing that, the exercise is asking you to:

At the top of main.scss, make a new list variable:

$stripe-properties: to bottom, 15%, blue, white;

Hi i have the same problem as @spartanz.
@albionsrefuge your comments is useless. The exercise request is not at all clear, or at least i dont know what else to do.
i created a single a new line
$stripe-properties: to bottom, 15%, blue, white;
and got it wrong.
i did the same thing as @spartanz
@mixin stripes($direction, $width-percent, $stripe-color, $stripe-background: #FFF) { background: $repeating-linear-gradient( $direction, $stripe-background, $stripe-background ($width-percent - 1), $stripe-color 1%, $stripe-background $width-percent $stripe-properties:to bottom, 15%, blue, white; ); }
and got it wrong too.

I still dont get it

Still no success after attempting the solution albion suggested, thanks though.

Still no success

After you moved your line 8 to line 1, did your error message change?

I think it will. It should now be complaining about $repeating-linear-gradient. You’ve put a $ on that, but it isn’t a variable, it is a CSS function.

Let me know what happens after you fix those.
