This charming crochet mandala is from Jennifer of Thread ‘n Fur. She shares, “I pick up a hook and yarn whenever I can. I learned to crochet at a very early age – how young, I can’t remember. I’ve picked it up off and on through the years. Crochet has always been my way to relax, de-stress, cope with all the things that pile up in life.
This terrific crochet mandala is from Helen who writes, “I discovered Marinke’s beautiful blog and, after reading a few posts, instantly recognized that it was perfectly named. Wink truly was a creative being.
