Toe-up Socks

I started knitting my first pair of toe-up socks. I am working both socks at the same time with 5 needles in Red Heart Heart & Sole in Faded Jeans.

Mobius Shawl 1/3 complete

I've been working my pattern and when the shawl is done I will post it. I've been altering one I found on the internet.

Mobius Shawl update

I am nearly done with the first 12 rows of the shawl, here's what it looks like so far.

Only 42 more rows to go!

Mobius Shawl cast on

For those of you that do not know what a mobius strip looks like, you can see examples here. Basically it is a complete circle with a single twist in it. In knitting a mobius you have two knitting needles attached by a long cord or wire, the right needle is in the front, a left needle goes around, down, up to the left so that you have 2 loops but they should only overlap once. What this does is cause a continuous pattern so that you are knitting both sides of the shawl at once. You use a marker for the beginning of the row and it is so cool to see the marker move under the area you are working on the lower wire and then come around to the needles again.

Knitting Needle Case

I crocheted up a case for all my new knitting needles.
