Elizabeth Zimmermann's Pi Shawl Knit Along Lace Version Find a MKG Vendor that may sell the pattern. Talk About the Pi Shawl Experience 12/15/2003: Pictures of MKG Member Pi Shawls from the December Guild Meeting: 10/14/2003: Barb Armstrong's Pi Shawl Bibliography 09/04/2003: The Madison Knitters Guild is going to hold it's first ever (I think) Knit Along. What you may ask is a Knit Along? A group of interested people will meet before each month's meeting and work on the same project. Each person will have his/her project they work on individually there and at home. We will meet together to provide assistance, share tips, and keep each other going. The project: Elizabeth Zimmermann's Pi Shawl. The pattern is readily available and the yarn can be pretty much anything you want. (This is how I intend to get my Pi Shawl made with yarn I purchased at camp four years ago.) We will start in October. Come early, about 6:30, and we'll get started together or if you've jumped the gun, you'll carry on and help the rest of us. Amy Detjen will be on hand to provide her invaluable technical assistance and inspiration as well lacemaker extraordinaire, Marie Duquette. We hope to show off some finished shawls to Meg Swansen when she comes to our December meeting. Some of us will show off our work at various stages nearer perhaps to inception so don't hesitate to join the Knit Along because of fear of completion. If you have never made a shawl or done any lace work, this is a great way to start. Experienced knitters will enjoy it too. Instructions for the Pi Shawl can be found in Elizabeth Zimmermann's book, Knitter's Almanac and in Shawls and Scarves published by Knitters magazine. The shawl can be made from any weight yarn from lace weight to sports weight. Heather has established a bulleting board on our website for people to post questions and comments and for local vendors to list if they carry materials for this project. Plenty of people have made this shawl and we'll have some samples to give you an idea of the pattern and what type of yarn you might like at the September meeting.
