I’ve been a bit obsessed with mandalas for a while now - if you don’t believe me, check out my Pinterest board - http://www.pinterest.com/margrafferty/crochet-mandalas/ - and so I assembled a variety of cottons I had bits and pieces of and got started. It was a really fun piece to make and I’m going to give it to my sister for Christmas. I think it’s got a very festive air to it.
