A work-in-progress pastel purple doily mandala lies on a black desktop with a golden 3.5mm crochet hook at the bottom right and the pastel rainbow yarn cake I’m working from at the top center.

This is a custom order from Ogden Pride of a pastel rainbow All Flowers pattern, but in 48” rather than 30” or 35”, with curved arms, so I’ll do the math to add tension on the outer rounds. I’ll add 3 more rounds & block it tonight.

A crochet mandala lays on a black desktop. The pinkish edge is in focus and toward the bottom of the picture fading into light purple, dark purple, and then blue at the center which is slightly out of focus at the top of the picture. It his will be a 30” parasol when I’m done.

My current #wip is a custom request of “antiqued bi-Pride” flag and I really love it. People have such great ideas. 💜 🧶

This is all #hobbiisultan 100% OEKO-TEX cotton #yarn colorways in my own All Flowers pattern.

A finished 48” crochet mandala parasol is fully opened and held above my head as I take the picture. My thumb and thumbnail are peeking in at the bottom left of the image. This parasol features Hobbii Sultan 100% cotton that is OEKO-TEX certified in a ROYGBIV rainbow for Gay Pride moving from red at the center to purple at the edge. This pattern is a self-drafted one I call All Flowers with a daisy at the center followed by leaves, then tulips, and finally fans at the edge.

All done! ~50,000 stitches in my self-drafted All Flowers pattern. Daisy at the center, then leaves, then tulips, and finally fans.

Off it goes to its new home tomorrow and the slate is wiped clean for my next mandala.

Spiderdream Tunic by Alina Dalichau (found on ravelry) with Hobbii Sultan #40 yarn. 🧶 #hobbiisultan #crochetsky #crochet

A crochet mandala lies on a black desktop. This mandala is pink at the center where the pattern has 8 very pointed shapes I call Spikes. As the pattern moves toward the outside the yarn begins to fade and incorporate lavender which is now ourple at the edge where I’m making the diamonds of my Spikes & Diamonds pattern. It is still a work in progress.

I don’t have a finish this Friday, but I haven’t forgotten about you, Bluesky!

This is my Spikes & Diamonds pattern in a beautiful 100% cotton yarn from #HobbiiSultan. Cotton is wildly wasteful to grow & process, so I use yarn certified for sustainable practices. It’s not perfect, but it is better.

C’est fait!

The first pic is only lit by the sunlight, second is artificially lit. There isn’t much difference between the 2 in this yarn, but I try to always get both.

Still 100% cotton OEKO TEX Standard 100 certified yarn #HobbiiSultan

Monday night update on this mandala in its glorious gay pride rainbow colors. So close to the finish!

This 🧶 is by Hobbii and is called Sultan Cotton Kings in color 29. This yarn is OEKO TEX Standard 100 certified.

Will you get this one at SF Pride?

A mandala crocheted from 100% cotton lies on a black desktop. It will be a pastel rainbow for gay pride when it’s done, but right now the center is pastel purple fading into pastel blue at the edge. A wood-handled 2.0mm crochet hook is also visible as I’m currently working on this one.

My most-recent crochet mandala has reached snowflake stage. Yay!

This yarn is #HobbiiSultan and 100% cotton certified for sustainable practices.

Thinking of adding #BendPride and #PikesPeakPride to my schedule this summer, but feeling hesitant. Any advice is welcome!
