Featured Design: Fountain Pen Shawl, from Interweave Knits Spring 2009, designed by Susan Pierce Lawrence and knit in elann.com Peruvian Baby Lace Merino by Megan Dodson, is a light and lacy shawl knit from the neck down to the bottom edge in a pattern resembling fountain pen nibs. With a finished size of 78" across the top and 39" at the longest point, it requires 1250 yards of lace weight (33-40 st/4") yarn - works out to 3 balls of elann.com Peruvian Baby Lace Merino. Megan knit our sample following the pattern as written and used less than 2 balls of elann.com Peruvian Baby Lace Merino. It is easy to adjust the overall size by working more or fewer repeats of the body chart before beginning the border chart, a larger shawl will require extra yarn.
