Yes I am at the second attempt of my Pi Koigu adventure!
Unlike Margene who created a beautiful flow of colours in her Zeto, I am trying to create a quilt type effect with my current Koigu project and it may be harder than I think, only time and knitting will tell.
Last Sunday when I was well into my first attempt, about 24 rows or so with 576 stitches, to be more precise. I decided I used the wrong KPPPM for the center of my Pi and ripped it all off. Oh well, at least I got to try my newish ball winder for that and it does make ripping almost fun (yes, I know I am weird,,,)
I started my take II even before I ripped off Take I (I am crazy but not completely), I decided to try another KPPPM for my center to see if I am right or wrong and decided I was right around the 72 stitches step and then I ripped! The only thing I didn’t do is take a photo of my first take before ripping, I just didn’t like the colour combinations.
I am back at row 23 with 288 stitches and I think I still like this version but this can change in a fraction of a second. I wonder how many takes it will take me before I will give up this crazy idea. Or maybe this will turn into a magnificent FO, we will be patient and wait and see!
And while waiting so patiently, I like to enjoy the fabulous colours of those KPPPMs:
It looks beautiful and you have many possibilities with the Koigu. Have fun and you won’t go wrong.
Rachel, this is truly beautiful. I know what Pi Shawls are, but have no idea of their construction, so you lost me with all the math talk. I just stare at the picture and dream of making my own!
it does remind me of a quilt a little , but even more it reminds me of a braided wool rug!
It is beautiful. I like the color.
Gorgeous!
