Too Many Projects...
Too little time. I have had a very bad case of start-itis. I have managed to start another new knitting project. I swear this is the last one until I finish one of the 3 I currently am working on. Here it is and it is tons of fun.

Yes, it is a moebius. I saw Cat Bordhi on Knitty Gritty and thought that this project would be so fun to try. I recorded it and have watched it a few times to get the cast on right and away you go. So much fun to see the project grow BETWEEN the needles. A very strange technique that I am not sure how she came up with but for sure worth doing at least once.
I would of been a lot farther but I had to rip the first time as somehow I messed up on the second round and had a very weird stitch that I could for the life of me not figure out how to fix.
I also did dye some roving and silk yesterday. The silk have such nice shine it will be neat to see how it looks in the finished yarn.

The colors are about what I wanted and I will be adding beads to the silk ply. I am still not sure how I want to wind up the silk. Bobbin sounds like the best idea but may take a while, unless I can find a way to do it on the wheel without adding too much twist or a center pull ball but that always scares me. Especially since it is very fine, at about 4900 yards per pound fine.
