Blocked so Severely it is larger than the queen-size bed.
Done! This was knit at a very loose gauge for the laceweight yarn and is quite light and lacy.
Yarn: Cherry Tree Hill Merino Lace, in their heathered-solid Burgundy, ordered from Fuzzy Mabel, used about half a skein or 1200 yds (I’ll update this when I can weigh the remaining yarn)
Needles: US5 at the center to US7 at the perimeter, Edging US5, Aero and KnitPicks Circulars
Pattern: Pi Shawl, Elizabeth Zimmerman, Knitters Almanac
Gauge: Lace
Started: September 2005 (I put this down for quite a while)
Completed: February 2007
Finished Size: 60 inches diameter
Notes:
The CTH laceweight is smooth and very easy to knit. While not quite as fine and soft as Zephyr, which is a merino/silk blend, it seems very sturdy, light, and warm.
I modified the last lace section of the original EZ pattern to add another set of petals and diamonds.
The edging is Doris from Heirloom Knitting.
