More Mandela Madness

I love learning. It gives me quite a buzz. I've just completed round 6 of the Mandela Madness. I'm not entirely happy with the centre, but otherwise I think it's quite delightful.

Techniques

There is so much packed into this mandala.

• Magic Ring: I've done these before but sometimes I've had problems with them.
• Standing Stitches: I've come across standing stitches before but haven't practice much. I can see that I'm going to get lots of practice with them.
• Popcorn Stitches: I'd forgotten how to do these so it was a good reminder. The six bright pink blobs are the popcorn stitches.
• Picots: I've always been a bit unsure where to insert the hook to complete the stitch. Now I know! The pale pink centre is made from picots as are the points of the dark purple.
• Overlay Crochet: This is completely new for me.
