The Spirit Sands delta region of Manitoba, Canada was created over 15,000 years ago, as retreating glacial waters formed this unique inland sandy region.
Take a stroll through the cacti-covered sand dunes to see the eerie pool of blue-green water in the Devil’s Punch Bowl.

This is the third pattern in the Manitoba Collection, a series of patterns inspired by various locations throughout the province of Manitoba, Canada.

The repeating purl stitches are reminiscent of the sand dunes of this area, interspersed with meandering lace-patterned trails. All this cascades downward to culminate in a visually intriguing lace work section. This was the inspiration behind this cowl.
