All parts are made in the U.S.A. ALL KNITTING PARTS GUARANTEED FOR LIFE WITH NORMAL USE. Our first introduction to the magic of Cat Bordhi was a phone call in early spring of 2004. I was lucky enough to be answering phones that day, and my first impression of Cat was a kind voice and a great deal of subtle enthusiasm. She told me she had devised a revolutionary method for knitting Moebius strips. Her projects required an extra long circular needle, and would we be interested in making such a thing? She had never tried the Denise kit before, and said that if she liked it she would feature it in her books. Not having deeply investigated the true properties of a Moebius, but remembering making one in school from a strip of paper joined with a half-twist, I rather smugly thought I knew what her unusual technique would be. A Moebius strip has only one surface. Run your finger around the length of it and you will trace outside and inside as one (your finger will wind up where you started and will have passed over the entire surface of the paper or knitted fabric, as the case may be). As we spoke I recalled my first hat knit in the round, which had to be taken apart after perhaps 12 rows and the realization that that twist in the fabric was not going to go away. This, I was sure, was going to be the unique technique a mistake gone right. However, from Cats now-published and marvelous books, A Treasury of Magical Knitting, and A Second Treasury of Magical Knitting, I understand that this is not a true Moebius, and Cats method truly is a piece of magic organic, simple, beautiful, and satisfying. I envy the children Cat
