Pi Progress
Well, I’m making progress on my pi-are-square shawl. Here it is stretched out across my bookcase again (about the only way I can get it to show the stitches). I probably should have knitted a couple of extra demarcation rows between the increase sections, to differentiate the lace patterns more, but . . . I’m not going back now! I haven’t decided how much longer to make it, either. The next-to-last increase section had two-repeats of a 12-row lace pattern (Travelling Vine). The section I’m on, I’m midway through the fourth repeat of a different 12-row pattern . . . so by rights, I should be just a few rows away from completing that section. But . . . it looks almost the same length. Not that that necessarily matters! I had to move a pile of books, my alarm clock, a candlestick, and a photo of me and Katy to take this picture . . . my feeling is it’s close enough to long enough! Then I’ll just have the edging to do, and it’s done!
Of course, deciding on which edging pattern I want to do would be helpful . . .
Oh, and for those of you who voted, I did order a skein of Coral mohair from Brooks Farm to go with my Duet. It’s going to look just smashing!

House Calls



Wow wow wow, I love that lace! I’ve been looking through lace patterns recently wanting to make a shawl. Lovely!
And thank you for the kind comments yesterday at my blog–kindness from strangers always makes a bad day better!
Deb,
This is fantastic! Gorgeous lace work. I haven’t tried any yet, but this is such an inspiration.
Thanks for the virtual hugs to my Baby A the other day. You brought me great big smiles.
I am using the same EZ pattern. I am making my shawl using sportweight merino yarn from Knitpicks. Since my shawl is in garter, it’s sort of boring. I think (and hope) that a pretty lace border will make it look more interesting. I have always wanted to use an EZ pattern so I am enjoying knitting the shawl even if it’s not too exciting to look at! The color is a pretty aqua.
