The sweater is done. I need to block and weave in ends and put on buttons but as it is it is finished and all my worsted stash is used up. I did lose at yarn chicken while I was binding off, but luckily I had a close enough match in my basket of odds and ends left over from my sock yarn blanket.
I want to make the sleeves longer, but I need to wait until I get some more yarn.
I trusted the pattern and it is going to fit beautifully. Good old Elizabeth Zimmerman.
She must have been a math genius to figure out that this:
with one quick fold turns into this:
which is why the reference to Pi in the title.
I am now diligently working on my double knit - pictures next week.
Happy yopping.
This color scheme is lovely. It's so spring. Can't wait to see its photo shoot.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the well wishes. I had to cancel my surgery b/c there was a major power outage in SF. I have to reschedule.
DeleteWow, look at that? I love it and can't wait to see it on.
ReplyDeleteI am amazed at the sweater and how it comes together. Loving the colors too.
ReplyDeleteI confess, I'm completely confused by how what I'm seeing in the first picture turned into the cool sweater in the second picture. I believe you - I just don't comprehend it. lol I would need a video tutorial just to make that part happen, I think.
ReplyDeleteDamn that close call yarn chicken would have inspired strong language at my house! Especially with 7 million stitches per row! Your zen shames me.
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing! My mind is boggling trying to work out how photo A becomes photo B. I like Becki's idea of a video.
ReplyDeleteI've not tried an EZ sweater but I have read one of her books and I don't think I am a good enough knitter to appreciate her methods or to be able to follow them. She seems to have a cult following of people who knitted back when she was around. Interesting methods! Love how yours turned out!
ReplyDeleteThis looks lovely, Mary-Anne. :-)
