When the freezing temperatures of winter set in, waterfalls freeze in stalactite formations at the foot of cliffs. Imagine such a wintery scene, with intertwining cables nested between ribbed columns, worked in icy shades of rustic tweed for natural effect - a cool look offset by woollen warmth!

This pattern has been tech edited and tested - my sincere thanks to all who assisted!
