Well, right there in the morning paper was the notice  that March 14 was &#8220;celebrate Pi Day.&#8221; Now I do like a good celebration  and any little &#8220;thing&#8221; that can be ferreted out of the closet to get a  party going is fine with me &#8211; rubber duckies, oatmeal month &#8211; you name  it and I&#8217;ll celebrate it! This is why I was a little stunned when I  realized that I had missed Pi Day all these years, especially when you  consider that you celebrate it by eating pies &#8211; one of my favourite  desserts!!<\/p>\n<p>Boy, do I have some catching up to do!!&nbsp; Here are some things that I didn&#8217;t know about Pi Day. Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879. He would be 132 today. He is also a Pisces. Givenchy sells a perfume named Pi. Pi Day was founded in 1988 in San Francisco &#8211; the 14th day of the 3rd month (3.14). Pi is an infinit number &#8211; Infiknit will be celebrating in future!!<\/p>\n<p>Now Pi figures a lot in knitting especially with Elizabeth&#8217;s Zimmerman&#8217;s Pi Shawl. Above is a shawl using the Pi concept from fiber Trends. The concept is that to get a circle, you increase 8 sts every other round until the circle is the size you want it &#8211; It&#8217;s as easy as Pie (Pi)!<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Circle of Life Shawl from Fiber Trends Somehow, over the years, I have missed Pi Day.&nbsp; Maybe it&#8217;s because I&#8217;m not really mathematically inclined &#8211; give me a crossword puzzle over sodoku any day.
