Commonly referred to as “The Land of 10,000 Lakes”, Minnesota embraces every type of water activity imaginable from boating and kayaking to paddleboarding and year-round fishing or…simply gazing out at the water from a cozy cabin. Vacationing by houseboat is also a great way to explore the lakes, especially in Voyageurs National Park where you can stop at a remote island for the night and gaze at the stars while listening to the mournful calls of the loons. Minnesota also boasts beautiful forests chock full of wildlife, rivers, and waterfalls as well as amazing hiking and camping with spectacular views.

Lakes, loons, and lily pads feature prominently in this easy to knit design. A touch of simple embroidery adds details to the loons and the lily pads.
