Estonian Pi
I am working along on my pi shawl, which, as I mentioned a couple of blog posts ago, I have dubbed “Estonian Pi” because the lace motifs are more or less based on Estonian lace patterns.
Because this is a pi shawl, it doubles in size every time you do an increase round (which is not all that often).
Over the weekend I diligently knit the entire 288-stitch-per round section, so was pretty pleased with my progress. I did a sort of razor-shell lace thingie with extra-large holes created by double yarn overs in that section.
Yesterday I did an increase round, so I now have 576 stitches on my needle. That’s a whole heckuva lot of pi!
And although I am in the second-to-last pattern chart, I still have miles to knit on this thing since it takes just short of forever to knit a round. But it is an enjoyable knit – love the yarn, love the color, love the pattern, love the needles. It’s a veritable lovefest, I tell ya!

I love your Estonian Pi shawl so far and can’t wait to see the lace motif! I love the purple yarn too.
woohoo!!! It’s been a while since I won anything. Thanks Wendy!
I can’t wait till Thursday. I’m ready and it’s lookin’ great….my mystery shawl that is….
That is such a pretty color. Truly a deep purple – ha!
excitedly waiting for the next clue – finished blocking vernal equinox and JPG is next – Wendy, you have made me addicted to lace and shawls — and they make such great gifts for folks, can always use a beautiful accessory and with a wedding coming up lots of stash yarn is no longer just sitting.
Hey, Wendy, thanks for promoting Sheepish. You’re the best. (And yes, The Buccaneers is on my list!)
I am eternally amazed by your productivity. Some day I hope to have as much time to knit.
I’m so very impatient for Clue Three. I’m gonna have to be done with my homework before 4:30 so I can get an hour of knitting in before class!
