Notes From the Designer:
Camarodonta is a scientific order of sea urchin. This circular shawl swirls with lace designs reminiscent of both ocean movement and the intricate patterning of sea urchin fossils. Based on Elizabeth Zimmerman’s marvelous pi shawl concept, just six increase rounds (most at the beginning) let you enjoy lace knitting without the worry of an ever-changing stitch count.
I credit Bonnie Sennott for her brilliant solution to working the starlight lace pattern stitch in the round (Section 2) by moving the beginning of round stitch marker on two rows to make the repeats shift properly. Thanks also to Mwaa Knit for the adaptation of a stitch pattern (Section 3) from The Haapsalu Shawl by Siiri Riemann.

A Perfect Gift
I printed up this pattern, bought the yarn, high quality knitting needles, and a small, cute hummingbird feeder, boxed it all up & mailed to my Mom to cheer her up. I know she will love this fun "kit". She's a knitter I crochet. She's very good at it, this pattern is so beautiful, she will love it! It is scheduled to be delivered to her tomorrow, June 11, 2022. I did purchase the recomended yarn, and ut is so beautiful, the colors amazing, excellent quality, so very soft. This shawl will be very elegant for Mom to wear!

I think this pi shawl is marvelous, very beautiful! It looks a little difficult to me, because I never knit a pattern like this in a round, but I love the way it looks and I like very much the way you explain the pattern and the clarity of your demo. It's a pleasure to learn from you. Thank you very much Chandi and thank you very much to alll= your team!

Camarodonta shawl
I’m waiting for the right colors of yarn. I keep looking at the yarn used in the pattern but I wish the browns in the January skies skein where softer and the other colors popped more! I’ll keep watching for the right color which will happen! Your yarn is beautiful!
