This sunny crochet mandala comes to us from Charlie Lethbridge in Australia.
Thanks to each and every one of the contributors who participated in the Mandalas for Marinke project. I didn’t get as many posted in April as I would have liked (some extreme jet lag put everything behind) but I’m still on track to wrap up posts in a couple of months and proceed forward as described in the last update.
These beautiful crochet mandalas come to the Mandalas for Marinke project from Kate Graff, known as GrafficDesigns on Instagram, Facebook, and Ravelry. She walks while crocheting and walked a total of five miles while crafting for this project.
Beautiful contribution to Mandalas for Marinke along with Edna St. Vincent Millay depression quote.
This pretty floral crochet mandala comes to us from the blogger at The Grange Range. She says, “I am a mother of four grown children so I now have the luxury of time in which I can indulge my creative self. I like exploring woolly projects in the evening and at weekends, and I love to knit and crochet.”
Today’s beautiful spring-colored crochet mandala comes from Liz of LavenderLizard, a married crochet-designing mom of 4 boys who also loves books and baseball.
This set of Mandalas for Marinke comes to us from Selina whose tagline on Ravelry (@knittedruby) reads, “Knitting and crochet are the only things that keeps me sane in this mad, mad world.”
Amy from Pennsylvania sent in one large crochet mandala and three mini mandalas, each beautifully embroidered with an “XO” for Wink, which is such a special small touch.
Esther writes, “This mandala is made in loving memory of Wink. Depression is such an ugly illness. I’m so sorry you lost your battle and hope you are finally at peace. Thanks for your inspiration.”
These two gorgeous Mandalas for Marinke come to us from Anne who lives here in San Francisco. They were made in gorgeous Rowan cotton glade yarn using the colorful mandala pattern in Simply Crochet issue #5 and the picot mandala crochet pattern from Simply Crochet issue #7.
