I so enjoyed Jacquie's mandala pattern over here that once one was finished I immediately started another.
But this time I couldn't stop.
I carried on, round after round, just adding extra stitches where necessary to keep the shape.
Trying to be random with the colour selection but in truth doing a little bit of fretting and changing around.
Not worrying about those stray ends.
Decreasing now to form an edge.
Until the end was in sight.
Et voila!
When is a mandala not a mandala?
When it's a hat for a stool!

P.S. has anybody heard anything about a bloggers get together at Yarndale? I believe Lucy mentioned something on a post but I can't seem to find it. If not I think it could be a fab thing to do - any takers???
P.P.S. I've been a bit quiet over here of late but thinking about you all - looking forward to catching up with your blogs asap!
P.P.P.S. And a big hug to one and all - whether you need it or not!
That looks great!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to Yarndale.Count me in for a quick get together.I will have my daughter with me(Mum to Emily and Ruby).
ReplyDeleteI definitely like! Sadly I'm too far away from Yarndale, but have a great time and hope you get to catch up with a few bloggers.

Love the stool cover! I have one to make myself, I'm just sourcing ideas and colour ways at the moment before I start!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm on for any blogger meeting at Yarndale, even if it's only a picnic lunch or a friendshop corner to drop in at. I'd love to meet the people I've read about in real life!
I do like, Jane. What a great idea! I was just considering covering my work room stool, as it's uncomfortable if sat on for too long.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of using a vintage embroidery piece but seeing yours, maybe I'll think again.

ReplyDeleteJane, you've got grand colors going round and round in your mandala. No wonder you wanted to continue those color combinations.

Yarndale is toooooooo far away for me.....xxx
Love your make. It's another reason why I should persevere with learning to crochet. How wonderful to have things in your home you've made yourself and look so great.
