Great Grandchild's Shawl.
i have finished my very first circular lace baby shawl. the yarn is Sirdar Snuggly 4ply from Mad About Ewe in Nanaimo. i used E.Z.'s Pi pattern from her book- Elizabeth Zimmerman's Knitter's Almanac. i searched for lace patterns whose stitch count would work within the stitch count of the Pi pattern. i started with Emily Ocker's cast on and changed lace patterns after every increase. my favourite pattern is the last one. i found it on a Sirdar twinset design pattern. the shawl was washed and blocked and i took it to Show and Tell at the WCKG's meeting on Tuesday February 6th. it will be in my luggage when i fly to Alberta next week and delivered to my grandson Cody and his partner Renee in readiness for their baby's birth in early March.
