This headband was inspired by the colourful lights outside the Centennial Concert Hall in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I have attended ballets, operas, and musicals at this venue since I was young. The sight of these otherworldly yet comforting colour-changing lights always makes me pause and watch them transition to different colours as I’m reminded of all the wonderful arts events I have experienced at the concert hall over the years.

The yarns I used ranged from DK to light worsted. Great for using mini-skeins or stashbusting!
