The second mandala from “Modern Crochet Mandalas”, by the Editors at Interweave. This one was designed by Kerry Bogert. I’m starting to think that my definition of crochet terms are not universal. However, it’s very pretty.

Diagonal Raised Double
I like the continuing pattern in this sample.
Focused
I went to my mother’s Knit Guild meeting earlier this month and was inspired by the speaker to try crocheting with beads. I just watched a u-tube video on crocheting corner to corner. Thanks, Tanglewood Knots for the link. Now I have to do that. I have other projects in my head that are fighting to get out in the real world. I still haven’t finished unpacking. I need to stay focused!

Basketweave
I love the look of this. It’s like a checkerboard!
Crochet With Beads
I’ve been meaning to try crocheting with beads for quite a while now. Finally did it. I challenged myself to do it with out any patterns or u-tube. I just wanted to see what I could do all on my own. I’m happy with it.
Raised Double Rib
I like the way this one is slightly three dimensional.
Harvest Moon
I purchased the book “Modern Crochet Mandalas”, by the Editors at Interweave. Here is the first one, called Harvest Moon. It is designed by Stephanie White. It was not the easiest pattern to follow, but not too bad either.
Raised Double Ridges
This stitch is basically a combination of the two previous stitches.
Back Raised Double
This one is more difficult to make then the last one, though looks very similar.
Edie Eckman’s Motif Challenge
Edie Eckman challenged her followers do make granny squares. She showed one example, and she provided the pattern. The rest was up to us. Here is a link to her original post.
First, I did it in a variegated yarn.
Then, I crocheted each row in a different color. I was going for a flower look, but I think I missed. Didn’t have three shades of any color in yarn I wanted to use.
I could have gone on to make more, but I have so many other things to do…
