I succumbed...

I finally succumbed to the Mandala. I have my last beginner crochet session for this group next week and I asked what they would like to do and one lady said she needed to make a doily for her next WI meeting for a little competition so I said we could do one. 

I had a go at the one from Made K-Town by Barbara. It was really easy and quite enjoyable do do while we watched TV late last night.


I used stylecraft yarns and maybe that red was just some DK from a donated bag.


So I have a Mandala to send to Lucy at Attic 24 for Yarndale and a website to send my crocheters to make a mandala. Just need some cake now and that sounds like it is going to be a promising morning to look forward to on Wednesday.

Peace to you this Sunday. Jo xxxxx

  1. Very pretty, I keep seeing Mandalas over Blogland and keep saying I'm going to make one. After seeing yours I'm going to try and get one done this week. Deb x

  2. I think cake would be very nice.
    I asked my son to pick me up some tea cakes (the toasting variety) yesterday and he came home with doughnuts. Strange!!!
    I keep thinking about attempting a Mandala but I can't decide on what colours to choose.

  3. It looks very pretty, I see them everywhere but I am afraid its just not for me. I do like the idea of cake though. Have a lovely Sunday.

  4. That is a very pretty mandala, your class will love making them in different colours! I wonder if you'll ever make another, now that you've crossed over to the mandala side...cx

  7. Haha I have managed to resist so far. I even got so far as buying some cotton to have ago but then started on another WIP with the said yarn so still not made a Mandala yet but I can see it happening very soon.

  11. It's really pretty, Jo. I might eventually do one, but just haven't gotten the bug badly enough yet. I'd love to send one to Yarndale but it's going to be so expensive. Might have to make one for me instead.

  18. I haven't started one yet as I know as soon as I do that will be it for summer, crocheting away! I love the colours that you have used, so bright and vivid. Take care x

  19. Well, I am glad you succumbed Jo as it looks fabulous! The colours go great together. :)

  20. Well it is lovely Jo and I'm sure your class will be grateful that you finally succumbed but I also understand you not feeling the need to do any more; I'm like that with a lot of projects, it's almost like once I've proved to myself that I can do something then I'm free to move on to something else. Not so with mandalas, having made up four of them now, but I'm not really 'grabbed' by them! Have a lovely week, xoJoy
