Hi lovely people on the internet!
Welcome to my 1st (mini-)CAL!
I’m super happy to share this design with you. Hubby came up with the name by the way and it made me laugh so it was here to stay.
I will publish the pattern in five different parts every other day, but if you can’t wait, or would like to have a printable PDF-version of the pattern you could buy it for the price of a cup of coffee. Big bonus here is that you’ll support me 🙂 Yay!
Please follow me on Instagram and share a photo of your work using #shangrimandala and #knotsosquare That would make me very happy!
