Trusting the Process ✨ Day 1: Hula Hoop Crocheted Mandala

And so it begins! Day 1 of my new hula hoop crochet mandala project is officially underway. I found many incredible designs by Helen Shrimpton and ended up selecting her Sacred Space Blanket design as I could envision stopping at one of the rows before the design starts to get squared off. Helen even gives you a coloring page of the design to plan your colors. I got stuck in some analysis paralysis while trying to map the colors out but I perused her FB group and lots of people said to start working the design and let the color order flow on its own. So today, I completed rows 1-8 and that is exactly what I did. I’m using Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton for this, and I am already in love with how these colors are working together.

The colors I selected are: Admiral, Chambray, Silver, Camel and Ecru
