Another moebius finished.
 

It took a little more time than the first one I made as the stitch was
more complicated. The first one had an 8 row pattern where every even
numbered row was purled and only odd numbered rows were patterned.

This one was only over 6 rows but every row was patterned and took
total concentration. I only went wrong once but it took nearly a day to
unpick and correct. I shall make more of them - I just won't use this
stitch again!

Bernadette, I have no problem to see why you will use another pattern!

But apart from THAT : This moebius is exquisite!
Congratulations!

OMG that is gorgeous and I would not have a clue on how to fix a boo boo.
The pattern would be nice also with a heavier weight yarn for a plain scarf.

That is simply gorgeous. I can't imagine ever being good enough to do
something like that.

Lovely! I know what you mean about lace patterns that require
concentration on every row - but aren't they worth it for the result?

Thank you Aud.

I have a lot of other lace stitches to play with now. :-) I found a
super site where they'd compiled a stitch index at
http://www.knittingfool.com/index.cfm

I can't guarantee how correct each instruction is but have made up some
test swatches for some of the lace stitches that don't carry a picture
with them.

Thanks Donna - nor did I have a clue at first :-(

It meant unpicking back about 2 rows until I got to the place where the
stitches were where they were meant to be. It was a pain because being
a fluffy yarn I had to do it stitch by stitch or the mohair fibres
would have become matted.

It would be easier to do on straight needles, I think, so if you want
the stitch instructions I can let you have them. You would have to work
out how many stitches to cast on in a thicker yarn but that'd be easy
for you to do if you made a test swatch.

Thank you Brenda.

It isn't too difficult to do, but that stitch was a beast. There are
plenty of others that are easier and would take less concentration.
Next time I think I'll use one of them! ;-)

Thanks VP - and yes, I think it was worth it.

I didn't think that way a couple of times :-(
but soon got over the tantrum once I'd corrected the error.
