Ward Lake is a year-round recreational area for Ketchikan. During the summer, it provides trails with unsurpassed scenery and quaint picnic spots. During winter, the lake can freeze over to become a community ice rink. Those cool weather outings are made all the nicer for the covered gathering areas that sport a fire place for a cozy place to warm hands and visit. And, throughout the seasons, the lake is home to all manner of wildlife including families of Trumpeter Swans.Â
Three different motifs make up this shawl: the bordering “leaf” motif is the beginning of the vine-like cast-on; the center “water” lace is contains diamonds of rippling water; and the final lace bind-off represents the “feathers” of the Trumpeter Swan, a memorable Ward Lake resident. Â
