WIP: Möbiusly

So... I'm knitting a möbius! My mind is blown whenever I think about it. I know it shouldn't be, but it is. The nerd in me loves this so much (meaning: I love this so much!)!!

Reasons I'm so excited about this project:
1. It's a möbius.
2. It's seamless. Who likes seams? Not this girl...
3. I dyed the yarn myself. Both skeins.

So I had dyed the first skein a while back (like 2.5 years ago? Yikes!!) and used a bit of it for one of Shelby's coffee cozies. But then I had a whole bunch left and jumped at the opportunity to use it for something awesome like a möbius! But then knitting a möbius takes a lot of yarn (400 stitches to get all the way around - which is basically going around twice), so I was running out. The natural thing to do seemed to be to dye more yarn. I knew I couldn't do the same thing as last time cause I don't remember what that was, so I opted for a pink/purple/magenta thing...

I finished off the first skein tonight (while watching Doctor Who for the first time!) and switched to the second. Here are some pics!





Update: the pattern is available for free here and on Ravelry
