I am very excited because I am writing this post on my NEW LAPTOP!! Santa was berry, berry good to me! I got a Toshiba Satellite L655 and LOVE it. It’s a little cheapie, but has a lot of great features. Yesterday, Surly and I were knitting together via Skype! Woo Hoo!
Just a little FO to share: the long and short of it. I made a shorter version of the Easy Missoni Mobebius Cowl for me — longer version described here. For the long one, I cast on 120 sts, and for the shorter version, I cast on 100. I made the shorter one a bit wider, so ultimately they took the same amount of yarn:
I love this pattern. It is quite easy and the welts form in a very cool way with the moebius construction. On Ravelry, there are a number of projects, and they look good in both smooth and nubby or fuzzy yarns. Great project for that single skein of luxury yarn that you don’t know what to do with.
I saw this on your blog a few days ago and fell in love. I cast on yesterday morning and cast on after dinner… what a fun and practical knit! I’ll be making more of these. Thanks for telling us about it.

It was a fun pattern, wasn’t it? I did a narrower one in a smaller gauge with 150 stitches. Seeing your long one makes me want to do another…and LOVE the sweater underneath…what’s that pattern?

I love the cowl – gorgeous color and it sounds like lots of others love it too! And, please, do tell about the gorgeous sweater underneath. It looks lovely!!

Thanks for the lead. I’ve been wanting to do one of these and have several orphan skeins in my stach. PERFECT combo and great timing!
