Sometimes it’s just those three colors, the ones you keep coming back to, and suddenly they turn into something you can’t take your eyes off.

Three Shades of You is one of those knits that feels playful right from the start. The mosaic pattern brings in that beautiful graphic look (with slipped stitches, nice and easy), and then… little bobbles pop up here and there, adding just the right amount of texture and fun.

It has this lovely rhythm to it, a few calm rows, a bit of colorwork magic, a sprinkle of bobble. The kind of flow that keeps your hands busy and your mind happily wandering. You don’t have to think too much, but it never gets boring either.

With Aquila by Das Mondschaf, every color feels alive. It’s hand-dyed, full of character, and gives your shawl that soft depth that makes people look twice. Whether you go for gentle tones or bold contrasts, it’s going to be a piece that stands out in the most effortless way.

It’s cozy, it’s a little bit playful, and it’s one of those projects you’ll miss once it’s finished — until you cast on the next one.
