Moebius, part 3
One thing I forgot to mention earlier about my Moebius scarf is that the cast-on strip (it's not really an edge, 'cause it's right smack in the middle) is wider than the other rows in the scarf. I don't like how this looks--it wrecks the continuity of the scarf. My friend Beth is also knitting a Moebius scarf (using the same yarn, in fact), and she, too, has this loose row in the middle. Is this inevitable with these scarves? Or is there some way to avoid it?

Hmmm...I think that the middle cast-on row turned out that way because of a combination of the type of yarn and the size of the needles. I think if you had used bigger needles, it might have helped.
And the mohair-ish, airy yarns are more forgiving. So the next one you knit (if you use the Suri Dream) with definitely not have a pronounced cast-on row.
But it certainly doesn't look bad to me!
Yes, yes, bigger needles...such as the #15 pair I sent you...come over to the dark side, Luke.

PS Needles under size 11 (nay, size 13) are for the weak.
