Moebius FO
I finished what may be the last of my holiday knits, since not everyone in the family is getting knitted gifts this year. It is by request, a short Moebius scarf:
Last year I made this Moebius scarf for my step-mom. This year her daughter requested one just like it.
Here's the stitch pattern, and a slightly better representation of the color. The yarn has blue and green plies twisted together, which I think gives a nice effect. I may make myself one like this from the "safety" skein, which I didn't need to touch.
I haven't blocked this yet. Must haul out the ironing board to do that (the twist dangles beneath, since a Moebius can't lie flat without being folded).
Just like the other one, it's based on Cat Bordhi's Arrow Lace Pathways scarf from her "Treasury of Magical Knitting", but I made it a bit short (so's the intended recipient) and left off the "fingers" that she uses in the bind-off. This was a very fast and fun knit, using less than one hank of Cascade 220.
And I had another FO over the weekend, the second Falling Water Sock. No second sock picture, sorry. Just look at the first one and cross your eyes to see the whole pair.

Your moebius looks great and so do the falling water socks. It's a really pretty pattern. Can you knit it with your eyes closed now?;->
I'm with you, by the way. Very few knitted gifts for others this year. Two for me!

Very nice!
I always wondered how one would block a moebius.

Very nice moebius. I LOVE the color. And your comment about looking at the sock and crossing my eyes cracked me up.

Well, I just thoroughly disrupted piano practice by laughing my fool head off at "No second sock picture, sorry. Just look at the first one and cross your eyes to see the whole pair."
What a pretty scarf. I'm not sure I'm going to manage knitted gifts for any of the relatives this year. I didn't get an early enough start.
