A new week and we are already on part 6 of Mandala Madness CAL designed by Helen Shrimpton? Last week was a rising sun, this week we are tuning the sun into a mountain. We now have a star-shaped mandala again, but the star is at a different position relative to the star we made in week 2. You can find the original, written pattern with many translations on Helen’s blog.

There are yarn packs available for this CAL in Scheepjes Color Crafter, Scheepjes Stone Washed XL and Scheepjes Merino Soft, available from Deramores, Wool Warehouse and Paradise Fibers. Here a list of the colors I used for week 5.
