Knitting non-stop.....

I've been keeping my needles busy these last few weeks. I took on Elizabeth Zimmermann's pi shawl. I've never knit a full-size one and decided to jump in. I used Old Apple Ridge Angoras millspun blend of 50% wool/50% mohair in a fingering weight. Tracy had dyed it in a mix of teal and black, creating a beautiful but busy yarn. Therefore I chose to knit the basic and plain Pi. A lace pattern would get lost in this yarn. I spent a few evenings of pleasant mindless knitting while watching TV or listening to audiobooks or knitting podcasts. I still need to darn in the ends and then block it.
I'd like to do another one sometime in a natural coloured yarn and insert lace patterns into the blocks of plain knitting. But not for a while yet. :)
