3.14 reasons to love Pi(e)

As if I needed ANOTHER reason to learn how to crochet, I came across this creative DIY project: the Pie-ret, presumably pronounced “pie-ray.” It’s 44 flavors of fiber genius!

As soon as I learn how to crochet, I’m going to buy this little pattern ($10 to have the Monster Crochet creator email me a PDF) and make wearable pie berets for every day of the week. And then maybe grab some recipes from pieofthemonthclub.org and bake a pie every day of the week! I’ve been pie-ning for a purpose in life like this…. (Um, I just made myself groan from my own pun. That can’t be good. And yet, I’m still not going to edit it out. You’re welcome!)

Speaking of pie, don’t forget that Pi Day is coming up on March 14. I’m going to start planning a party on Friday, which is approximately 3.14 weeks before Pi Day. Hmm… I hope I have enough time to learn how to crochet so that I can greet people at the door with a beret that looks like this:

    How cute! The thought of an apple pie beret makes me giggle! Hmmm, I think I just found a new hobby! Thanks!!

    If you manage to whip off one of these fast enough to wear to the Pi Day Party, you ma’am, will be a goddess among geeks. You should get an award or something for that. Wil Wheaton should present it.

    Yvette, you need to ask yourself one question: Would Bjork wear this?
