Ever since making a dreamcatcher for Little Miss M, Another Birthday, Another Dreamcatcher, I have wanted a similar one for myself.
The design is Tuuli by Zoya Matyushenko.
I made this with Scheepjes Sugar Rush and Rico Essentials 2ply cotton yarn and a 2.5mm hook. Attaching it to a 50cm coated wire hoop from Glitterwitch.
If you make this design, don’t make the same mistake as me and make far too many loops and points on the final rounds – oops – when will I learn to constantly check the stitch count!
Here it is photographed against a turquoise background
Now to decide whether to hang it on the wall or dangling from the ceiling.

Another beautiful dreamcatcher/mandala. The blue background really shows it off well.

Thank you Jane, I like it best with the blue background which is a canvas I have painted with acrylics – that has given me an idea to make another and sew it onto a painted canvas.

Lovely work, Sandra. Have never been even slightly tempted to pick up such small hooks, but do admire those who make such lovely things!

The small hooks do take a while to get used to!

I made one of these which hangs in my workroom – it’s not as complicated as your one but looks quite pretty. Will you add feathers?

Is yours crocheted too?
I don’t think I will add feathers, but I might add some thread with beads on it.

It’s quite beautiful and I love how the background colour can give it a totally different look – what fun you could have changing that out from time to time! I still haven’t started mine yet – but have bought the cotton. It might get done this year 🙂

I love the way playing with colour can make things look so different. I’m thinking of making another so that I can put one on a white wall and have one dangling from the ceiling in my guest bedroom.
Will you do yours all one colour or several?

I purchased five or six different shades of blue and some neutrals intending to make my first mandala out of them – but they are that fine crochet cotton used for making doilies and I don’t think I have quite enough years of life left to me…… So I may turn to my stash of corriedale yarn which is multi coloured and start there. 🙂 Anything could happen.
