Moebius Madness

I hope everyone enjoyed their turkey day. I had a nice time with Bear and the fam and didn't stuff myself too much this year :)
A LYS was having a 'Fight Black Friday' event at the shop and was offering 3 different mini classes of various knitting techniques for those not rushing to the malls today. One of them was for the Moebius cast on. I thought why not and signed up. It took me a few tries to understand the motion of how you cast on for the Moebius scarf, but once you get the hang of it, it makes sense. I ended up ripping out what I had started in the class as I wasn't liking the length. To refresh my memory, I watched Cat Bordhi's great instructional video and CO a few more stitches than my first attempt (ended up CO 150 sts).
I ended up using just a smidge over a ball of the yarn (Zitron Loft). I think it could've been a tad wider, but I'm happy overall with the project, a project that started and ended on the same day, what do you think of that? I like using it doubled over and more as a cowl than a scarf.
