Keeping Busy

One holiday is done and another on the horizon. This always seems like such a busy time of the year for me. There's gifts to be made. (Which I've already made a dent in my holiday to-do list.) I have had the opportunity to enjoy a bit of "recreational knitting"....which was a treat in itself.  I've been taking a class by Cat Bordhi on Moebius knitting. So far I've knitted two Moebius cowls and a Moebius bowl.

This first Moebius is knit from a commercial yarn.....a bulky weight baby alpaca. So soft!!

This lace Moebius is knit from a handspun yarn. The green is a two-ply bulky weight core spun suri alpaca. The white is a softly spun two ply suri/Shetland blend. This went home with my oldest when she was out for Thanksgiving. It's a nice large Moebius.....one that can be pulled over the head if needed. Has a nice weight to it.

My Moebius bowl is knit from handspun Finn. I dyed it after it was felted. The dye split giving it a nice coloring on the bottom.

In addition to enjoying my moebius class, I published a new infinity scarf pattern. This one is called "Frosted". It's knit from a handspun super wash wool blend. This also went home with the oldest. After being without power for over a week due to the fierce windstorm that devastated the area, she wanted to be sure she had plenty of warm things to wrap up in. Doesn't hurt that we also had a white thanksgiving....and that it is snowing as I type this. The pattern for this infinity scarf can be found on Craftsy as well as Ravelry.

Back to the holiday gift making list.
