Off the Needles - Half Pi Shawl
 |
| lace design visible when back lit November 2020 |
Once I set a goal to finish this long-time UFO, it wasn't difficult to sit down and knit at least two rows a day. I bound off the last stitch on Thanksgiving just as the sun was setting.

| off the needles and in need of a good blocking November 2020 |
It doesn't look like much on the hanger, but once it's blocked, I think it will be a beauty. I plan to take it to the LYS to be blocked because I don't have a area large enough to do an adequate job.
Pattern: EZ 100th Anniversary Pi Shawl: Camping (half circle version). free pattern on Ravelry
Needles: US size 8
Yarn: Heritage 150 Sock Yarn (Cascade Yarn) Color: 5631
A masterpiece! So glad you finished it!
ReplyDeleteIts beautiful now - it's going to be stunning when blocked
ReplyDeleteThe lace is beautiful even before blocking, but yes - it will be stunning and elegant after blocking. Wow!!
ReplyDeleteOh WOW!! It's a beauty. I love that pattern. It's been in my queue since I made her full pi many years ago. I even have the yarn ready to go but life keeps getting in the way.
ReplyDeleteWow it is a beauty! I had to buy a second set of blocking mats to block my shawls.:)
ReplyDeleteOh Nancy! It is beautiful already, I can only imagine how it will look after blocking. I have never made a Pi shawl before but this makes me want to try. I'm really looking forward to seeing it again when you get it back from the yarn store. How nice that they provide that service. I don't have much room for blocking anymore either!

How long has it been waiting longingly for you to complete? It's a beauty alright, no doubt about it.
ReplyDeleteNancy, it will be a beauty alright. It already is. Smart to have someone else block it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty Nancy!! Gorgeous finish. I never thought of having a yarn shop do blocking for me.....
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful Nancy. Congrats on finishing a UFO. I should pull out one of my knitting UFOs and promise to do 1 or 2 rows a day. Or just skip the front and work on the back that is just plain knitting instead of color changes....
ReplyDeleteWow! Fantastic! I can't wait to see it after blocking.
