I've been working on this accursed thing for months. I finished it
once and the edging broke when I tried to block the thing. I fixed that problem and the edging broke again, somewhere else. So I pulled off the edging, made the shawl a tad larger, and put on some different edging. Then I blocked it less vigorously. Pi. Hand-dyed Jaggerspun Maine Line 2/20s. Finished size 64" measured on the diameter from point to point. Note the beautiful model showing how well the finished fabric drapes and flows! http://www.fysh.org/~slinky/pix/ratty_pi.jpg |

I agree with VP about the furry "fiend" (LOL). My little kitty loves nothing more than to pound her paws into a piece of knitting (the softer the better), nuzzle it to death and sing loudly while doing so :-) |

What's a Pi shawl? A circular shawl that starts in the center, is knitted "in the round" (flat, but on circular needles!). Geometry says there is a mathematical relationship between the circumference and the diameter of a circle; the Pi Shawl takes advantage of this. Elizabeth Zimmermann wrote the pattern for it 30 or more years ago. Mirjam - Pi Are Squared is a variation on a theme, it's the same basic principle but split from the center out with some shaping that makes one edge "flat", so it hangs better or something. I thought Flory up in Alaska developed that pattern but there's every possibility I'm wrong about the designer, especially since I can't find my copy of the mag with the pattern in it. Wooly Enjoying what appears to be a 3rd day of no rain. Stupid weather- guessers have us washing away for two more weeks, I guess they can't open the curtain and look outside! |

That's a drought!!! We've officially had the wettest June since 1914. Mary |
