Are they coming out of the lake? It must have gotten very cold, very swiftly.<BR/><BR/>Here in Canada it is getting cold, and we had a brief snow a week ago, but it still feels like fall here and I don't expect winter for another month or so.<BR/><BR/>I have knit the Frost Flowers and Leaves shawl last winter and it was a very enjoyable experience. Now that the season is turning, I'm dreaming of doing it again. Only better. But I don't think I will. I have other shawls I also want to knit. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps you could dye your pale blue laceweight to make the color more seasonal and yet still appropriate for the shawl. I knit mine in a pale sage green.LaurieMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17609188211326621400noreply@blogger.com
