There I was, merrily knitting along, not noticing that I had twisted the yarn in my cast on row. I, was knitting a mobeus. So, here I thought I was doing so well! I kept on knitting, not believing what I was seeing. I kept trying to twist the yarn around the circular needles so that it would undo the twist, only to realize that the twist was knitted in permanently. I was almost done the first cable repeat too. I was up to row 13! Rip it.
So, I cast on again. Made sure it was straight and started again. I am almost to the third cable repeat. If only I wasn't just a night time knitter. I'll need this for the weekend as it is supposed to be raining and cooling down. Wish me luck.

and what would have been wrong with a cabled mobius?? i do a lot of lace knitting - and have had instances (because ONLY in my lace knitting am i ocd), where i have UNKNIT 10 rows - when i was in the 200+ stitch/row section and using a mohaired silk, because i found a pattern error; this is where the "ZEN" of knitting comes in; it teaches us patience;
Patience is a virtue. We knitters have it or we couldn't do what we do. A mobius would have been fine, but the cowl would only have fit a little kid. Not my intention.
