Bandana by Joanne Seiff

Have you been knitting one of the beautiful 13 designs from the Flatlands Collection is support of the Manitoba Fibre Festival?  There is a KAL (knit-a-long) happening now until the festival Sept 15 & 16th.  If you knit one of the designs you will be entered to win some great prizes like Festival swag and a luscious skein of the limited edition colourway by Cloud 9 Fibreworks.  If you wear one of the designs to the festival you can get in for free!  Not only that you are supporting both prairie designers, dyers and artisans who have all been part of this years' inaugural collection.

I knit up Bandana by Joanne Seiff.  It was a very fun, relaxing and fast project and I am SO happy with it.  A beautiful soft pink, not normally one of my go-to colours but I can hear my grandma saying "it will brighten up your face" haha.  There is a paisley design in the stitches and the texture it creates is super cool.  This design can be worn in so many ways; as a bandana cowl, shawl, hood and even to keep your hair out of your face.  I can't get enough of multi-use projects.  They are a must in my wardrobe.  I attached a bright, butterfly button to the end of the tie.  This was the choice of many of my Instagram friends.  

Kits for all the designs will be available at the festival from both designers and dyers.  Be sure to stop by the Flatlands booth to see the complete collection.  I will have kits for Aura at my table and Ally of Dye For Ewe will have some as well.
