Gorgeous!

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

Oh, that is beautiful! Absolutely beautiful!

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 is it?

Mary

Beautiful work

Just stunning! :-)

It's a Pi Shawl. :D

Thank you.

What's a Pi shawl?

Mary

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 . mirjam

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!

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.

Mary

Us too. I spoke too soon about 3rd day of no rain - there's a nasty low heading my way from the Gulf and it's sucking along a big line of storms. I only *though* I was going to the pool later... The local stuffed shirts are pronouncing our 5+ year-long drought to be over simply because we have so much surface water right now. Fools, they are.

Sorry, I should have said, I'm in England :-(

Mary

Last time I was on your side of the puddle England still had libraries and post!

I can't get EZ books in my local library in NZ, so I think it entirely possible that she isn't available in other libraries in the world.

I've looked at buying some stuff from Schoolhouse Press but the cost of postage is steep and they don't do electronic versions so you can just have your patterns delivered by email (I did ask). I do really struggle to get access to her stuff without paying the earth.

VP

Is this strictly a knitted pattern or can it be crocheted?
