And if you need yourself a little Easter Basket, here’s the ticket!mobius basket - side view

I’ll be teaching this mobius-handled basket at the Knitting Bee in early March.  It goes amazingly quickly, so you’ll have plenty of time to whip up one or more before the holiday.  Among other things, you’ll learn how to do a provisional cast-on — a must in every serious knitter’s repertoire!

This new sample was knit using 2 colors of Malabrigo, and it felted beautifully.  I think it’s the easiest felting I’ve ever done!  (In teaching the class, I plan to use the rest of the yarn to knit another basket in the opposite color scheme, so we can find out if you can get two baskets out of two skeins.)

This is a Polar Bear Pattern, and is available at the Knitting Bee.

FELTED MOBIUS (EASTER) BASKET
2 Saturdays, 3-7 and 3-14-09     1:30–3:30 pm

This funky-cute little felted basket uses a mobius strip for the handle and top edge.  I prefer to cast on for a mobius strip with a different method than the one Cat Bordhi uses:  I kind of think my way is better and easier, but maybe you should be the judge.  (Oh, I can also do the Cat Bordhi way if you insist.) 

Previous experience knitting in the round required.
