From Handknit Holidays:



"When Cynthia Crescenzo spied Great Adirondack Yarn Company’s Sequins--a marvelous hand-dyed yarn with an incredible drape and tiny sequins woven right in--she couldn’t wait to see how it looked in a long, flowing fringe on a shawl knit with Kiki, an alpaca , silk, and merino blend yarn dyed-to-match.  As Mary Veldy, who knit the sample stole for this book, worked with the yarn, she was reminded of winters in her western Wisconsin home.  In the pale winter sunlight, she says, the snow sparkles and bare trees cast pearly-gray shadows, creating a mood that is at once calm and exhilarating."
