I must say that working with this nearly 50-50 blend of Great Adirondack Yarn Company silk and bamboo has been heavenly and really tough to put down. So tough in fact that I have completely abandoned all other WIPs to knit, purl and yarnover my way through this interestingly constructed wrap in record time. Since I’m just about to join the second skein to complete the last half of my half-twist Möbius Lace Wrap, I thought I’d share my status as of one week in:
Here it sits: 430 stitches per row, 8,600 stitches thus far, coiled around a 47-inch size 6 US Addi lace needle. You see that I’ve pointed out the cast on tail? That’s because Möbius knits are constructed from the center out towards the ends simultaneously. Unless you do it (or you’re very visually oriented) it is hard to imagine. It’s also mind-boggling to think that, conceptually, you’re knitting in two directions at once, though given the nature of Möbius, there really is only one side.
Who’s afraid of a mixing up a little math with their knits? Not I.
The Mobius is really still a mystery to me, looks beautifel. I Love the colour!
I am looking at this with sheer confusion! It must take a lot of consentration!
It really is beautiful!
Thanks for the Rowan offer, m’love – sadly, he’s set on the Revel. 🙂 Good to be home!!
You had to bring the math into it. I wa so busy admiring the beautiful colorations in the pattern and then the m-word entered the picture. I was an English major (an anti-math major). Math changes make me nervous because I am so afraid I’ll make a mistake. The worst that could happen? I have to frog it and start again. Like I am not used to that!
Gorgeous! And you are making quick work of it!
That wrap is so pretty. That color is just gorgeous. I have been wanting to knit one for some time but have been a little scared.
Have a great weekend!
The yarn is gorgeous. I can believe that it is a pleasure to knit with it.
Can’t wait to see the finished wrap.
I commend you!
Math with knitting has never been my gift!
Beautiful so far, I can’t wait to see it complete!
Let’s see…
Nice socks
Nice shawl
Nice picots
Nice moebius
I think that about covers it. Wait! Just one more…
Nice friend
Really nice friend
Blessings (and don’t bring that moebius anywhere near me or I might snatch it from your hot litle hands!)
That yarn is really something else, not to mention the great job you are doing. That is really going to be beautiful But then again, everything you knit is first rate. Be well, and happy knitting.
Beautiful! You have such a good eye for color and matching up yarn to patterns:)
Thanks for the compliments, though they really belong to the yummy yarn!
Leslie: the next half will reverse the direction, making purls and knits evenly matched on either side. Good question!
Absolutely stunning!!!
No, Not afraid to mix in some math at all…
🙂
Have you become a fly on the wall of my closed knitting yahoo group? lolol
(((hugs)))
Does it bother you that one side of the divide is so obviously knit while the other is purl? Or does it not show up so much with the laciness and color changes? It’s looking really nice, the silk shine is outstanding 🙂
it’s amazing. i love the progress so far. i’m sure you want to swim in the colors.

That yarn is stunning!
Crazy gorgeous! That’s way beyond my original estimation of the pattern in the book….
That yarn works beautifully for a mobius, as does the stitch pattern. Enjoy the second half and then the wearing.
Holy smokes woman, that wrap is beautiful. The colors are amazing.
Wow, that is beauteous! Keep up the good work.
That’s really beautiful. I can see why you’re having such a hard time putting it down.
That is just gorgeous! The colors are just beautiful.
Wow! So lovely! We definitely should meet up some time so you can teach me. 🙂
