Slowly but surely we are making progress on our Mandala; this week we are on part 7 of Mandala Madness CAL designed by Helen Shrimpton? Last week we made bobbles and a mesh to grow the star we already had, this week we start with a floral part of the mandala to slowly change the shape of our mandala. 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 Wool Warehouse. Here a list of the colors I used for week 7.
