Yes, Nature's Las Vegas!

Buffy, have you seen the fall color of New England in the rain? The leaves shimmer.

I love the leaves in the rain. The colors are extra vibrant on a cloudy wet day.



I found these Sulky Holoshimmer threads on sale at Jo-Ann Fabrics and Crafts. I will tuck a single thread in with coordinated yarns from time to time. I've tried it out, and I like the look. It adds a very small sparkle and movement in night light.

Since—according to my daughter—autumn is nature's Las Vegas, it's best to gild the lily, don't you think?

    I think that will be great. I have been thinking about a metallic yarn for my "C". I think a little subtle shimmer will lift the coat too! (dmrknit)
