I am still working on the mobius experiment. Sharon finished knitting a pin cushion, using a pattern she found in the issue of Interweave Holiday Knits, 2010. It's cute. I like it.
She stuffed it with synthetic and then added wool batting at the top.

Friday, January 28, 2011
It is Friday, a not so typical Friday, as I asked my mom to pick me up this morning and give me a ride to my clinic this morning. I attend a Women's group at the Mental Health Clinic where I receive services. Sitting in the waiting room I was knitting. A couple of women asked if I would knit them mittens. I will.
I am working on an experiment with the Mobius scarf. I bought the yarn at a thrift store. I believe it is a sport yarn, acrylic at least seventy-five percent. I like colors, blend of blue,green and red hues.
With a size five 40" cable circular I casted on stitches. I don't know how many, I guess around three hundred. I wish I could explain the cast on, but not in words. There are however, many blogs and videos on the internet that I utilize when I find my self looking to create. Any one who has knit a mobuis knows that when you knit the mobius you double the number of stitches you have casted on. Since this is a scarf and an experiment, it didn't matter to me how many stitches I cast on. I worked it around several times, and then casted on ten stitches for a lace edging. I have been working the edging for three nights, now, and I am not a quarter of the way toward the end.
I can't wait to see it finished.
