Cat Bordhi's Moebius - Anyone else tried this

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 ,.,,,,, mirjam

Has any one seen a version of the Moebius for crochet?

Shana I don`t know what version you look for i worked out my own kind and can send you my instructions ,.,,, is this your email adress ?? mirjam [Ps in Hebrew your name means = year or/and learned

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.

I think the comcast.net version is what I want. Thanks.

There was an article about it in one of the knitting magazines several months ago, written by Elizabeth Zimmerman's daughter (can't remember her name). I think there was mention of it here on the group about the same time, you could google for it.
