Keeping your ball in the air

I haven’t done that in a long time: I was a third of the way through a cowl when I realized it had gone mobius on me–a good reminder that it’s not mindless knitting till you get past the first connecting stitch of that first row, and then again at that point on the second row just to be sure. After that you’re good.

Somehow I got through all these years of knitting without realizing that when you frog a mobius strip with that many rows, you can’t just put it down and pull–because if you do you will be suddenly tying a tight near-knot around some random spot on the circulars again and again. You have to take the ball of yarn through the center of the knitting as you go. Because of course you do.

Hey, who doesn’t want to practice juggling?

There’s a photo in the ether but it hasn’t landed yet.
