Mandala 1 Finished!
I finished! What a fun pattern! After I blocked it out, it turned out to be about 16.25 inches. It's big. I'm thinking it might look nice on the wall! I just love the colors and may have gone overboard taking pictures of it... I couldn't help it!
If you've never tried overlay crochet before, I think you should give one of the patterns by CAROcreated a try! If you know how to crochet in front loops and back loops, how to do a front post crochet stitch, and how to do treble and double treble crochet stitches, you should be fine! It's a fun challenge, and it's fun to watch the design progress! Or at least I think so!
I'm also making one with size 3 thread! It will be interesting to compare the finished sizes of the worsted weight yarn and thread mandalas. Hopefully I'll show you some progress soon!
Hope everyone's week is going well!
It's gorgeous! I think it would look great on the wall! I can see you've been doing some more lens-experimentation there - great photos!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday!

I love the colors on that! I can't wait to see it on the wall :)
ReplyDeleteOh, it's beautiful Kate! It reminds me of a summer and eating watermelon! I think it would look lovely on the wall. Can't wait to see the one with size 3 thread. Oh...front post & back post still confuse me. I'll check out the link!
ReplyDeleteOooh!! it's so so beautiful!!

Amazing. I love the colors. I love the overlay. It looks really detailed (and hard to do). What a beautiful piece.
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous, Kate and the colours are so vibrant and alive! Very well done!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how big this would get. Mine already is already looking big and I'm only on round 11 or so. I was thinking it would be doily size, but I guess it will be much bigger.
ReplyDeleteLove your finished one and I can't wait to see your second one too!
It came out awesome, Kate!
ReplyDeleteIt's really wonderful... great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful.... it must have taken you a long time. The pattern is so detailed.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Thanks! If I remember correctly it went surprisingly quickly... but maybe because I was excited to see it come together!
