Moebius finished

Moebiustouch3I finished the moebius scarf last Sunday, and have worn it just about continuously since.  It ended up a bit longer than anticipated, which means that it goes around my neck three times instead of the two times I anticipated.  Since it is in 4 ply yarn it isn't very bulky, so it's actually just right and quite snug.  I've been meaning to photograph it in daylight all week and forgot, so here's a not so good photo.  It's difficult to find a way of arranging it that shows the detail in the pattern and the black/purple hues don't help.

If I was to do a moebius scarf again, I'd probably use a bulkier yarn and 120 cm circulars and probably keep the stitch pattern even simpler - alternating stocking stitch and reverse stocking stitch.

Since finishing the scarf I've started and finished "Molly's Headband"  from Interweave Knits Summer 2006 Issue.  Next, I want to finish the socks that I've been neglecting.

School has been very, very busy (so no change there...), but less stressful this term.
