The Shift Yarn Kit by Andrea Mowry, 3 Skeins of Aussie Extra Fine Sport, Moulin Rouge, Steel, & Understated

The kit includes 3 skeins of Aussie Extra Fine Sport in colors selected to blend well for this slip stitch colorwork cowl. Here's Wendy wearing her Shift knit in Aussie Extra Fine Sport in colors Moulin Rouge, Steel and Understated. 

This cowl is the perfect all-the-time accessory! And the answer for all of those knitters out there who love to knit shawls, but have a hard time styling them. A fun and engaging knit with shifting colors, that looks like an asymmetrical triangle shawl, and it only takes a fiddle-free second to throw it on as the finish to every outfit!
