Maker Pia shared in her own post, “For my mandala, I chose Wink’s Crochet Mandala For Your Home pattern. Her main pattern picture, which is done in grey, yellow, and white, looks so sunny and bright that I had to pick that one. Here’s my version.”

These creations are from the wonderful Jenny Brown of Hi, Jenny Brown. She “is a crochet pattern designer, yarnbomber, and charity crocheter living in northern New Jersey with her best friends (including her husband) and a “reasonable” yarn stash.

Crafter Jennifer shared: “I loved seeing Wink’s inspiring colorful mandalas in Simply Crochet magazine and I purchased her Boho Crochet book this year.

Shelly Bowles (who can be found on Instagram as 78th_stitch says: “I have Asperger Syndrome, fibromyalgia, and chronic depression. Crochet helps me cope with pain, the world and stress. I like to think of myself as a string artist.”

Maryann in Canada shares: “I want to share my story about my depression. My depression led me to alcohol. Alcohol became my best friend from the age of 13 to 35. I relapsed many times but now have 11 years of continuous sobriety. My life had become much better.”

Ginny McGaw from Michigan writes this message to Wink’s family: “I did not know her, but her story has touched me. I made this mandala in her honor. May she be at peace.”

This contribution comes from Instagram’s crochetlovingcelticghirl who describes herself there as an: “Ageing teacher from the city, living in mid of nowhere, living the crafting way of life. I love my family, Celtic FC, crochet, my Bichon and a good cup of tea!”

Louisa, aka The Craft Pixie, describes herself as: “Thirtysomething, upcycled graphic designer, guerrilla crafter and urban allotmenteer, managing my Type 1 diabetes, depression and infertility through crochet and art.”

Tamara used the Winter Mandala crochet pattern, which was the first mandala pattern of Wink’s that she ever saw.
