Notes

My first crack at a Mobius and have fallen in love!
Even though this seems to be taking forever, I love every stitch that I am putting into it:)
Adore working with the yarn although it was a bit tricky at first getting the gauge right as it was just so light and smooth through my fingers.

I was going by the very general CO of 170 sts but I actually ended up doing about 176. What can I say I was in the groove of the mobius CO:)

I have pretty much been making it up as I went along:
First few rows (About 4) are rib stitch
Next 8 rows are seed stitch (my fav!)
Then I worked back in the rib stitch for another 3 rows or so.
And then switching back to 5 more rows of seed.
Here is where I wanted to add in a subtle pop, so I choose The Planet Earth yarn %100 silk with beads, and am sooooo happy with the way its coming along, it was the absolute right decision! Love the way the silver silk yarn and beads add a little extra shine;)

1/25/10: Addicted with this project I have worked on it everyday so far…and yet still its not finished, a true labor of love.

2/18/10: Just keep Knitting Just keep Knitting Just keep Knitting… I am in the Home Stretch!! Finally got to the width I want now I just need to Cast Off!! Just in time for my chilli trip to VT:)

12/19/10: Cast off and ends weaved in!! Done and Done! I am in love with this project, the yarn the color the drape of the fabric the pattern, texture, the versatility, all of it, I will be wearing this one forever:)
