Do you have a Moebius yet?

They are all the rage.  So in about 3 years I should see a lot of them around town.  (That's how it goes in the midwest.)  I found this free pattern online:  http://www.garnstudio.com/lang/en/visoppskrift.php?d_nr=94&d_id=16&lang=en 

Drops Moebius

This is my favorite site for free knitting and crochet patterns.  Their yarn is reasonably priced too.  I was tempted on the yarn for this one, but then decided to make this my first project from the wool/angora (Fritz) blend that I am spinning now.  Moebius knitting can be tricky to start, so I found this great tutorial on youtube.

 

Now the trick is to locate a size 9 40" long circular needle.  Anyone have a good source?  It seems that 29" is the longest anyone carries locally. {Update-I found 14 different sizes in one set for $20.  This is the store I purchased from:  http://stores.ebay.com/KNITTING-EXPO  They have 100% positive feedback and lots of fun items for a great price.)

The neat thing about a Moebius shawl is that it can be worn as a hood or doubled around for a cowl scarf.

    Oh, you definitely should take up knitting–grin. I’ve been a crocheter since I was 7, but found some lovely knitting patterns a few years ago and decided to try to learn. I used youtube videos to learn how to cast on, knit, and purl. To follow patterns it helps to know how to slip a stitch, knit 2 together, increase, and bind off. Just play around and learn 1 thing at a time.
