Cat Bordhi's Moebius - Anyone else tried this

I just got Cat Bordhi's The Treasury of Magical Knitting specifically
so I could learn her Moebius technique.

I think I finally have the hang of it and I am the just wondering if
anyone else has tried this method and might have any tips not found in
the book for a newbie.

Jenn in CA

I've knit three using a different cast on method before I got a look at
the book, and one with hers. Cat's is definitely easier. And you don't
really need needles that long, at least on larger sizes. I didn't find
it that difficult to use 36 inch size 15s. The first row was a little
tight, but was then just as easy as regular circular knitting. I'll have
to try it with a smaller size to see if it works as well.

Do you have any particular questions?

I don`t know what her system is , if she working from the middle out ,
the best advice i can give you , is that when you cast on your stiches
on the underside of the first stiches use a dp , and move the stiches
as much as you can onto the plastic part , leaving as less as possible
stiches on the needle you cast on with ..... i have made `quite` some
moebiouses , and taught it to many persons , both in crochet and in
knitting , please do ask ,.,,,,,

Her system doesn't use a conventional cast on. It's a little like the
Turkish caston, but with the cable and one needle tip parallel.
