Festival of Threads

Here is a ‘Pi’ shawl celebrating the fabulous Elizabeth Zimmermann’s method of constructing flat fabric. Double the stitches when you double the rounds. It makes perfect sense; a tried and tested formulae. Festival of Threads is lace knitting and it is great fun. An edge of the circular shawl is worked using larger and larger needles as you progress to the edge. This gives you the volume and floatiness and of course makes the shawl grown quicker. I used the same technique in Delilah and the very simple lacy pattern repeat in Guppy Tailed Yo! shawl. It is good to return to old friends.
