What I am working on

Hello all! I finished training yesterday and now am ready to go out in the world and earn my keep. I have not worked outside the home in many years. I am both excited and scared.



Isn't this cowl beautiful? It is called a Moebius or infinity cowl. I am in the process of making one for myself and if I like it, I may make more. The instructions say you twist the first stitch. I have never twisted a stitch before, so I went on a search of how to do and and found a video to guide me. You turn the first stitch 180 degrees and then start to knit as you regularly would. Magic is supposed to happen!



This jumbled cluster f**k of yarn is my Moebius! I am not seeing the magic yet! Big said, "Yeah, it looks magic, I think you could stick your hand in there and pull out a rabbit!" I showed her the only sign language I have ever learned. That shut her up for a while. I am hoping the magic will happen when I get it off the needles, if not I will be unraveling it and looking for another pattern.

I am off to get The Baby. I may or may not post this weekend, but I will be thinking of all of you and hoping you are having a great weekend!

Pin It Now!

Oh dear! I've always liked the look of these scarves as well, but you're not encouraging me to give it a go!

Ok next time you're going to have a hissy out of nowhere in a post I'd like some pre-warning.

I got up, made coffee, started reading your post , heard angels, lovely background music and was feeling the love from your post when all of a sudden I spat my cofee everywhere and started hysterically laughing at 7 am ...

You completely crack me up.

Enjoy the weekend with The Baby.

Oh and thats why I dont knit....

Hey Cynthia, thanks for the laugh. It sort of looks like the photo, only smaller. Did you use a different ply yarn?

SO what sign language would that be, smirk, snigger!!!!!

I'm with Shay, that needed a "Spit Alert". Too funny. My Baby was teaching my SIL how to make that sign language in a text the other day. Charming, no?

You'll do fine once you get going. Working one on one isn't like other jobs--you'll be independent, right?

Have a great time with your Baby.
