Now I know that these were very popular last year, but for one reason or another I never actually got around to making one for myself. And up until recently I have to say that I've never quite seen the appeal ~ apart from being very lovely to look at they don't really seem to serve much of a purpose!
I had a quick Mandala search on Ravelry and found this pretty pattern and got myself started. I just used yarn that I had in my stash which was good old Stylecraft Special DK ~ however, I think that cotton yarn is probably the best way to go.
As it has been so cold outside recently I decided to use some cool Wintry inspired colours ~ white :: silver :: denim :: sherbet and turquoise were the ones that jumped out at me and seemed the most Wintry. We have been fairly fortunate in this little Coastal corner and have managed to avoid the snow so far but it has still been bitterly cold outside.
Hoping that you all have a very lovely weekend ~ :O)xx

Your Mandala does look pretty, I too have never made one although I have made doilies.
I do admire their colour though.

That's a lovely Mandala, I do like the colours you've chosen. I've only ever made one and I sent it off to Yarndale last year, but I agree that they are very addictive xx
Your mandala is beautiful, love the Winter colours.

It is very pretty! I like your colour choice. Maybe you could use it like a doily type thing and pop a vase on top.x
I think it is loveey and have yet to make one myself. Now I just might!
Hugs,

It's very pretty, Jackie, I like the idea of a different one for each month! Maybe you could stiffen them with starch and hang them on the wall! xx
This is a lovely pattern! And the colors work really well with it.
