It’s week 2 of the Make-A-Long! We’ve chosen our yarn and worked up our swatches. Now it’s time to put in work!

This week’s goal is work up the pattern to Row 31. This is equivalent to a little bit less than a third of the shawl. If you are extra speedy and want to move past Row 31, go for it. You can find the entire pattern below. If you are looking for a PDF version of the shawl, you can grab one from my store for $1. The PDF also includes information on how to create a larger shawl.

A new week means a new giveaway. This week’s sponsor is @Things.Beth.Makes. Beth is an amazing knit pattern tester and ceramicist. She is offering some of her work ceramic items to our winners this week. Check out Beth’s IG profile for more examples of her delicately painted ceramic pieces. To be eligible this week, grab a pic of your baby shawl, post it to Instagram, tag it with #pisquaredshawl, #pidaymalweek2 & #sisnottwins and follow @knotbadbritt, @sundaudghterknits & @Things.beth.makes.

Week 2 Winners will be announced 3/28.

Finally I’d like to encourage all of you Ravelry users to feel free to create a new project and/or heart the Pi Squared Shawl there. This is an easy way to support your favorite indie maker!
