May Mandala

This month my Mandalas for Marinke were featured on crochetconcupscence.com. Immediately I wanted to make another one. So here it is! The variegated yarn is Nicole Stitch Studio from A.C. Moore. These are one-off yarns in a sale bin, and I always look them over when I'm getting my other yarn.

Today's WIP

I'm calling this today's WIP for the simple reason that I have a good picture of it. I'm not working on this one today because I have two others that are online CALs (Crochet-A-Longs), and I want to keep up with them. One, I could do easily but two requires me to really focus. Plus my Mandalas for Marinke were just featured on crochetconcupiscence.com, and I started another mandala. Today I have to get more yarn. Well I am rambling now.

This blanket is going to be for my eldest. I am joining as I go, and what you see here is the top four rows. There will be either eight or nine rows so that it will fit nicely on a twin bed. The blocks are coming out wavy so I thought the join would flatten, but I am going to have to massively block the thing once it's done. Or not! I am not a fastidious blocker.
