There’s a Möbius strip on my needles. I don’t know about the rest of you, but this is a must-knit for me. It’s my engineering background coming through, I know… I just think it’s really cool.
Now, if you don’t know what a Möbius strip is, think of it as a twisted loop. The neat thing though is that it only has one outside edge. So it’s very well suited for knitting. You start in the center and build out.
The yarn that I chose for this is less than stellar, actually. I used Pearl from LANG (42% kid mohair, 54% acrylic and 4% polyester, 105 m per 50g and 6.5 mm circular needles). It’s really nice and soft, and I like the colour very much, but it disintegrated (twice!) as I tried to cast on. It appears that it doesn’t hold up for longtail cast on of more than 5 sts. Since I needed to cast on 120, you can see why this is a problem. So I changed cast on methods to knitting on the stitches. It’s a lot slower (for me) but at least the yarn didn’t break.
