Default Double Moebius Strip

Hi all,

I find myself needing to model an infinity symbol made out of two "connected" moebius strips.. see the top part of the image I attached here for what I kind of mean.

I got as far as creating the strip, twisting it 360º along the long axis and bending it back on itself, as you can see at the bottom of the attached image. All I have left to do now is "shift" the blue "sides" towards -X and the red "sides" towards +X, in order to achieve the correct effect. Try as I might though, I can't do this properly. I tried bending, rotating, even moving points around manually, but nothing seems to give me the correct end result. Any ideas at all?

Also, if I wanted a ball to travel along this loop, any hints on how to make it "stick" to it?


Many, many thanks,

D.
