Fallen Leaf Shawl - a knitting pattern

As you stroll along the lake’s edge, the wind gently rustles the leaves of the aspen trees around you. The path you follow leads you across the pebblely shore and through the towering pines. Across the water, the mountains rise up to meet the sky and the aspen trees along the far shore display the brilliance of autumn. A gentle breezes shakes leaves from the trees above and you watch as these fallen leaves fall slowly from the sky and float peacefully across surface of the lake.
