This shawl is a great way to get used to intarsia as the colour changes happen at the same marked point on each row. The idea for Modernist came to Julia Wilkens while she was working on circular yoke sweaters and realised that they formed a perfect Pi shawl with a hole at the centre. Julia used the same method to form this half-Pi shawl worked in Garter Stitch. The idea for the sliced stripes came from Svanen (The Swan) nr 17 by the Swedish painter Hilma af Klint (1862–1944).
