I am delighted people enjoy making the moebiouses , and would like all to remember that it was Elizabeth Zimmermann who first converted this idea into knitting, But she used the idea of making a straight shawl and than sew it with an unvisible seam. it was my humble idea to crochet it from the middle out , and Ria taught me to knit it from the middle out. Ever since than i made quite some moebiouses , both crocheted and knitted. i stopped counting. Most people for whom i made it still enjoy wearing it. Now adays you see mant knitters and cricheters who `converted` /used Mathematical ideas into knitted items. When one sees wonderful forms of Shawls , hats , or for that matter all the various idea of one piece /no seam garments , obne can ONLY have the OUTMOST respect for every person who puts time , care and love into making any item with this generations old technique with all those contemporary idea. May we all have many years of creative making for ourselves and for every other person who wants and can enjoy it. mirjam
