You can see the beginning of this mandala journey in this post. It took a while but at last I found a 70 cm metal hoop to attach the mandala to.
Using Scheepjes Whirl, Turquoise Turntable, and a 3.5mm hook, I cut the thread after Round 19, 24, 30 and 32 to wind off until the next colour join or two. I think I have used just over half the Whirl on this mandala and I will make another with the yarn that remains.
I didn’t block this one, I attached each point to the hoop with a stitch marker
and then using a needle and a length of the yarn, I sewed each picot point to the hoop, threading the yarn through the edge to get to the next point
It will hang on the wall above my fireplace, but I’m wondering if I should mount it on something first.

I like this best of all the mandalas you’ve made and they are all lovely! I really like the crochet pattern for this one and the gradient effect. The gradient really makes it extra special and of course I like the colour. Might be tempted to copy you and make one if I wasn’t making the blanket!!!

Thank you! It is a great pattern, but quite a challenge. Worth it though. I am making one of Zoya’s simpler designs, Agnes, with the left overs.

Love this! The colours are among my most favourite, so that’s one reason to love it, but actually, what really draws my eye are all the beautiful intricate textures and shapes. It’s really fabulous, and if I was mounting it, I’d put it against a warm terracotta to let the colour sing. You do of course realise that if you make another it would count as a ScrapHappy project, as you’re using up yarn leftovers…?

EeeK! That makes me very happy – I wouldn’t have thought of it as a ScrapHappy project but yes! goody!
Teracotta would make a great background wouldn’t it.

Lovely. And colour changes you got just right. Your pictures shown the reason why crochet work often needs a good block or stretch in this case. I like it like this but intrigued to see one on canvas.

I was wondering about attaching it to a larger canvas – and see you have wondered the same. Tf the canvas was edged in one of the hues of blue it would look very attractive I think. Your colour choices as always are perfection! ❤

It’s beautiful. I have mine – a much simpler affair – hanging in my workroom in a similar hoopish fashion.
What would you mount it on? I like the simplicity of the naked hoop I think. Unless you have come up with something…….

Well, I’m wondering if it would look good sewn to a large stretched canvas. I like the simpilicity too – i’ll make another one and then try one on a canvas and see which I like best.
