Möbius cast-on methods
Colette van Haaren gave a workshop on Möbius cast-on methods and sent the following links for follow up infomation. The comments in brackets are from Colette.
www.girlfromauntie.com/tech/moebius/inside_out.php (with lots of links to follow)
www.girlfromauntie.com/tech/moebius/inside_out.php#waste_yarn (this seems an easy-to-understand method)
www.girlfromauntie.com/tech/moebius/inside_out2.php (this is similar to Cat Bordhi's method - see below)
www.girlfromauntie.com/tech/moebius/outside_in.php (the grafting is mind-boggling!)
Cat Bhordi has written books on Möbius knitting – her provisional cast on is a figure-of-eight wrapped over and under the cable of the circular needle. You can learn an invisible figure-of-eight cast on on Eunny Jang’s website:
www.eunnyjang.com/knit/2006/03/majoring_in_lace_part_iv.html
The Do it Yourself network has an article and a pattern on Cat Bhordi’s Möbius cast on (MCO): www.diynetwork.com/diy/na_other/article/0,2025,DIY_14142_4894528,00.html.
There are no pictures on the cast on.
For the visual learners among us, Cat Bordhi has since published a video on YouTube:  www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVnTda7F2V4
