I am a great admirer of designers who churn out beautiful shawls, one after the other. I love the delicate lace and the airy fabric, but never had the courage to design one myself. On one of the casual page-turning of a Japanese lace stitchionary book, my eyes stopped at a particular stitch. I loved the combination of curved outline and the straight lines in the body. I started fantasizing about converting that into a shawl. After a long journey from swatching the stitch, adding a border and another transition lace stitch, Penstemon was born.
Penstemon is knit bottom-up, starting from the lace edge. The stockinette body is shaped into a crescent using short rows. The lace part comes as a chart and written instructions too. I knit this using the gorgeous SweetGeorgia Merino Silk Lace which is soft and squishy and has a beautiful shade of colors. Using fingering weight will yield a bigger shawl (and yardage will vary too).

Just beautiful, Anjali! The delicate lace pattern is perfectly suited for the gorgeous yarn.
It is indeed amzanig what miracles a little dampness can work, and always a bit of a worry until you actually see the item grown and shape up nicely. Just one of the thrills of knitting I suppose. That does look very pretty, will we see it once the pins are out?
Your’s is the intelligent approach to this issue.
