My grandma heart is so melty. There are 6 other poses linked from this one, one which shows Ben demonstrating the stretchable nature of 1x1 stranding.

Trying to resist more moebii backfired into starting 3 more (and finishing one) one of this batch is for felting. I have to get a grip. Have also been working on slippers which is quite fun, and sister-in-law blanket grows by a few rows each day. Newest knitting dream is to make catnip mice for all the family cats... guess my christmas elf nature is starting up. Wonder if Wendy's mouse pattern is still out there...yes it is

I don't know how to explain how much more this is than a rectangle with a twist. I get such a kick out of knitting moebius-ly. Made a few mistakes on #2. Here is the best shot I got of the pinwheel pattern I was attempting, you can see it here only in shadows...

one skein of silky wool wasn't enough to do the complete pattern. I did half the pattern at the beginning (dark brown) because moebiusly from the center that made a whole pattern, but then working in the gold the pattern formed on both sides of center. I was just a few rows shy of getting it all. Looks much better to me than simply alternating knitting and purling rounds. I also realized that I have to knit the very first round in pattern. The moebius cast on is somewhat like figure eight on a cable needle. This is so well explained in the book (A Treasury of Magical Knitting) that I got it right on my 2nd try. So it is the knitting around after this figure eight-ing bit that has to be done in the pattern.
