Abraham Lake, in the Alberta Rockies, has become famous for pictures of bubbles frozen in the lake’s ice. This yarn colour and the 3 lace motifs reminded me of the pictures of the bubbles percolating up from the depths of the lake. These white blobs, globes and discs create fascinating patterns in the ice.
