Moebius Madness

This is the wildest knitting I’ve ever done! You used a long cable needle (about 4 feet long!) twist it around itself and make a moebius strip, some sort of mathematical thing with only one edge…when you knit you knit from the center outwards, it is wild to see it grow that way! I got the pattern and technique from books by Cat Bordhi. This is the book I used. I plan to make a moebius felted bowl from it next!

I remember as a child first learning about moebius strips and making them out of paper. It was one of the most fascinating things I'd ever seen, and to this day I don't understand exactly how they work. What a really cool neck scarf idea - another thing I never would have thought of! Looks like you're doing way more knitting than quilting these days. Love the purple sweater!

Will you wear it as a cowl? Went to look at the patterns and half an hour later... Some of the colours of the yarn on those websites - to die for!
