The cat is officially out of the bag: 
The ✨S H I F T I G A N✨ is (almost!) here!

Folks have been begging @dreareneeknits for a cardigan version of her game-changer of a pullover, the Shifty. And here we go! We all now have an EXCELLENT excuse to knit a new sweater.

I’m doing a second post today because I’ve had a few emails after the newsletter. The pattern is coming out tomorrow morning and kits will go live on the website at 8am EST. If you go to the homepage the kits will be there in the morning.

These are the original colours that Andrea used.

A different kit that we will have available online.

I made a third combination as I was leaving the store. The main colour is Overshadow. The contrast skeins are all Ranunculus. They are very different skeins. I was rushing to come up with a combination and it was hurting my head. It was almost 5:30 and I wanted to head home. The pinks from the next picture up is a great option but I didn’t want to use the same colours twice. This colourway is not on the website but you can order the skeins individually. Please leave a note in your order that you need 3 very different skeins.

I will come up with a combination for Overshadow tomorrow and it will be on the website in the afternoon.
