Winter Mandalas
Two beautiful mandala designs - Winter Flowers & Winter Blossoms.
Often, when I’m in between designs, I find myself cro-doodling mandalas. They are one of my favourite things to design, and I find my mind just wanders off on its own little journey, allowing the yarn to go on its own magical adventure.
I’m absolutely besotted with these gorgeous little works of art, they’re so much fun to make and have so many different uses, stitch them to the front of a cushion, frame them for a wall, use them as place mats, stitch them to the front of a project bag, mounted on a canvas… I can go on and on.
