Just fyi, here's the set of moebius scarf blocking instructions SK sent me: http://mamas2hands.com/2015/07/30/bl...-with-a-twist/
The yarn I used was three strands all together. Fiesta La Boheme has one strand of rayon and one strand of mohair; I added the one-ply silk. So in theory blocking should actually make some difference.

They both look like fun, both to knit and for your granddaughter!
Catrin that sweater you made is beautiful. I'm glad you've found an activity that helps at least one ailment!
I still want to learn to crochet, but right now I have to focus on upping my game at work, learning new technical stuff. I don't know if I'd ever want to learn to knit and take on more complicated projects, but then again when I bought my mountain bike back in 1998 I thought I'd never want to do one of those crazy century rides, and five years later I there I was on a road bike doing the NYC Century. So never say never...

I love those mermaid tails!
nybiker, wish we lived closer. I would happily teach you to crochet--it's easier than knitting and superfast. Its disadvantages--uses more yarn, often although not always bulkier "cloth". But it's easy and fun.
I wanted to learn to knit for years but it never worked until I HAD to! Crochet is fun, but my hands hate the different position so had to give it up in my 20s. Either is nice stress relief and you don't have to spend hours on them each day, even 20 mintues is enough.
Hi NY Biker,
Yes, my husband and I moved south the end of 2013. Our kids (and grandchildren) live here in SC and we wanted to be closer to them. I still come back to the No VA area every 3 mos or so to take my mom to dr appts and visit with her. She wanted to stay in Ashburn since she has her routine there and all her friends. So I drive up (always bring a bike) and spend a half a week or so. This past Sept. a couple friends and I rode the GAP. It was such a wonderful ride. We carried our gear and stayed in B&Bs or motels along the way.
Have you gotten together with any of the other local VA/MD TE riders lately?

Crocheted, right? Beautiful blanket. I like the color arrangement in the pattern a lot--elegant.

The colors are very nice, beautiful blanket!
Whoa, I just saw this thread! I'm a knitter "first" - cycling is just my newest hobby.
Here's my most recent finished piece:
I've been working on the sleeves for my current sweater since Christmas. It usually takes me a weekend or two to do two sleeves, but I've been too fuzzy-brained post-surgery to do more than a few rows at a time. I just want to finish so I can cast on my next one. I'm aiming for 12 sweaters this year.
