I would also worry, with painting on the dye, that it might not soak evenly into both strands. What I read about is to knit two blanks, and dye them side by side. If you want clearer separation of colour, you can divide the knitting by knitting some (at least 10) rows of acrylic yarn, which won't take the dye. I really want a CSM!

Cruising is awesome and there is so much to do - or NOT do - depending on your mood that particular day. :-) We all hear that we never know when our lives will change on a dime - reality checks are tough but I'm glad it gave you a jump start to enjoying some of the things you've always wanted to do.
