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.

I use two Scheepjes yarns for my mandala; Scheepjes Sunkissed and Scheepjes Cotton 8 with a 3mm (D-3) hook. 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 7.

Round	Yarn	Color number	Color name
round 47	Sunkissed	05	seaside
round 48	Sunkissed	05	seaside
round 49	Cotton 8	720	fuchsia
