From the book of the same name, we have all sorts of imagery to play with here. This cape style shawl has 5 wedges which are divided by gorgeous cables. The cable and lace wedges remind me of the dog sleds, crossing paths in the snow, Beads add glisten to that snow, hanging off of the tips of evergreen branches.
