    I really had a lot of fun doing this Summer Blossom Mandala. Its pattern is well written and the youtube-videos are a real good companion to the written lines. Thanks a lot for all your effort!!
    I changed the last few rows a little bit because with my substituted yarn it became a bit wavy but a good design works out even when it is altered 😉
    I would have posted it on the facebook group but I am not allowed to enter.
    Nevertheless I will be on board with your next CAL.
    Sunny greetings from germany

I’m Rohn Strong – artist, Lightworker, and storyteller through stitches. My work is rooted in the belief that creativity is sacred, and that every loop of yarn can carry intention, healing, and remembrance.

Through crochet, we can blend the practical with the mystical – creating pieces that nourish both the hands and the soul.
