Wishful Thinking

 Yesterday I started a new shawl.

 The yarn is the second half of a cone of Zephyr....nothing special, a workhorse sort of laceweight.  The pattern is an Ann Hanson design which I've long admired.

Truth be told, I have a bunch of other knitting I 'should' be doing instead right now...various gifts, lace already started, etc.  So why this one?

Because it was 104 yesterday, and those wee motifs that you see beginning to form are snowflakes.
