| My First Granny Mandala |
Goodness...but I love C.O.L.O.R!!!!
I'm a sucker for trying something new.
I saw this granny pattern on Alice's Crochet With Raymond (here) blog and decided to give her
Granny Mandala
pattern (here) a try.
This is my first effort. I must admit I had to fan it out to get it to lay this flat - I don't think I made any mistakes but...who knows... maybe I did. I love all the colors I used - none are repeated. I just grabbed from my stash of left over Simply Soft yarn.
Per Wikipedia: In common use, mandala has become a generic term for any plan, chart or geometric pattern that represents the cosmos metaphysically or symbolically, a microcosm of the Universe from the human perspective.

Very pretty indeed!

I was thinking of making one of these for a small table I have. Yours are very pretty. xxx
ReplyDeleteSandy I really do think you have a way with color this is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteWOW! WOW! WOW! Such an explosion of colour. It looks great. Ros
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I see why it wouldn't lay flat though. You were supposed to add more than one 3dc between increases as you get farther out. After the first two increase rows, it would be *(3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc)in next space, 3 dc in each of the next TWO spaces*, repeat between * all the way around. Then on the next row where you increase, it would be *(3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc)in next space, 3 dc in each of the next THREE spaces*, repeat between * all the way around.
ReplyDeleteHope that makes sense!
Now that is very happy to be sure!
ReplyDeleteYour title says it all!!! What fun
ReplyDeleteYep it is certainly colourful -- but how do you deal with all those ENDS ?
ReplyDeleteCheers
Helen
Oh it's just Beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteWell done!
Hi Pammy Sue - I figured I goofed somewhere but I just wasn't sure where. I'll have to write down your instructions for the next ones. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteHi Helsie - the ends weren't bad on this one just two for each row. I even waited to do them all at the end usually I do them as I go along. That's the price of doing grannies and changing colors.
Thanks everyone for the sweet comments. You made my day!
So colorful. I love mandalas and never thought about crocheting one. Thanks for link. I surely have enough yarn in my stash for this! YeeHaw!
ReplyDeleteThe colours are beautiful together!
ReplyDeleteOhhh, color makes me smile. Wonderful job on your mandala, which before now I had never heard of. Makes me want to try one. Thanks for the link!
ReplyDeleteNice shapes for your finished project. Colourful, but just right in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandy! Oh, this is gorgeous! Love all of your colors too. Now, what are you going to do with it?
ReplyDeleteIt makes a beautiful mosaic.

Shelia;)
