We're calling this 'Mobeius Alley' at GBOW! These are Roisin's creations, based
on Australian designer Jude Skeer's Moebius Shawl design. It is a very intricate piece of work*, knitting in a figure 8 on circular needles and working
from the centre out. Jude has been guiding Roisin through his mathematically-centric design since April 2012. No
written pattern - but a truly magical
journey. Roisin is giving Moebius design
classes (but NOT these shawls) for those interested in beginning the
magical experience.
*Roisin's partner, Phil, claims that for six months when he asks Roisin a question, she responds with numbers, because she is always counting, counting, counting stitches. Perhaps something like this:
P: So, what did you think of that editorial in the paper? R: Twenty-six, twenty-seven, twenty-eight...
P: I am making tea. Would you like some? R: ninety-nine, hundred, hundred and one...
P: I am going on a 6 week canoe trip. Okay with that? R: five hundred and two, five hundred and three...
