Comforted by Pi

Ah, about a year and a half ago, I started my Shetland Pi Shawl. I stopped knitting on it when the rows became so long it took an hour to only do a couple of rows. I just felt like I was getting no where. Well all old project are either getting frogged or finished so for the last few weeks I have been working a row or two each night on this before I went to bed. I ran out of yarn to do it correct. The fourth section only has four repeats instead of 6 and I was only able to do about 6 rows of the edging before I had to bind off or order another skein.

I forgot to take a picture before it started soaking, but here it is soaking in conditioner:










Then blocking, as you can see I didn't have anywhere large enough to block it out.  So I had to make do with only blocking the middle section out and letting the rest just be stretched a little while it dried.  Maybe one day when I have carpets I will block it out to its full potential.








So it's not quite even, but isn't it lovely?  It reminds me of those giant jawbreakers they had in the early/mid 90's that were the size of baseballs and you stupidly licked them until your tongue bled.





  Ignoremy red face and disheveled look.  The shawl drapes nicely.

I love how it turned out. The hubby thinks it's too bright, but I love it and will probably take it to work to wear when it gets a little chilly there.
