An FO

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!

Gorgeous!

I notice the feet of a second furry fiend ready to "model" the shawl
too.

Oh, that is beautiful! Absolutely beautiful!

That shawl is beautiful Wooly - as delicate as gossamer.

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 :-)

A PI Shawl ,,,, was so called by P R Square shawl by the Late
Elizabeth Zimmerman .
Have a look in her Book Knitting around By Elizabeth Zimmermann,
Schoolhouse press , 1989. page 108 .

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.

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!

Where can I get a pattern - I'm no mathematician!

Three days? That's a drought!!!

We've officially had the wettest June since 1914.
