    I’ve never made a Mandala blanket but these don’t appear to be too intimidating. The Wheel of Fortune Blanket is really appealing. You’re really tempting me! 😉

    I love that the afghans are all so different from one another! It makes it feel like you’re getting a lot for your money.

    I love this pattern! I have tried to make up something similar myself, but between thinking I knew what to do, then doing it and having it not lay flat, do ripping it out, over and over and over…. I kept it a baby afghan that almost laid flat! Thank you for this beautiful design!

    This book looks wonderful!

    I love afghans, square, round, any size. These look terrific, and are well described how to make them, but I have a problem to find out what name goes with which pattern.

  13. Jerri Berg says

    14/02/2017 at 7:46 PM

    I would love for you to review Lacy Wraps. Thank you!!!

  14. Rachel says

    14/02/2017 at 2:18 PM

    Since I learned about mandalas, I’ve loved looking at them. There is something just so soothing about the symmetry.

    Next book to review: I think Beautiful Bookmarks would be neat to get an opinion on.

  15. Rachel says

    14/02/2017 at 2:08 PM

    Ever since I learned about what mandalas were, I’ve been in love with them. The patterns are always so appealing to the mind and soothing.

    I would love to see a review of Crochet Baby Afghans by the Pound. I typically don’t use this yarn (16 ounce per skein) but some of these are really cute. Thanks for the chance to win the Mindful Mandala Afghans ebook.

  17. Kathy Hodson says

    13/02/2017 at 8:32 PM

    13/02/2017 at 12:42 PM

    I’d love to receive this book as I remember Merinke and her patterns to bring Mandelas to the pattern forefront. Her passing was too soon and I’ve love that this book honors her memory.

  21. Carol says

    Colours, shapes and textures – Love this in the Rockwell mandala. Would enjoy a review of the Geometric Pillows and Afghans.

  22. Patty S says

    12/02/2017 at 10:48 AM

    I forgot to put what book I would like you to review – that would be So Cute Scrubbies.

    I would be so honored and thrilled to be chosen to receive the e-book and would love to try any of the afghans but especially the one on the cover. I made over a dozen afghans last year. Thank you

  25. Terry Workman says

    11/02/2017 at 2:20 PM

    The Mandala Afghans are beautiful! I’d love to see the “Enchanted Forest Creatures” reviewed. They look like a lot of fun to do and with Spring and Summer around the corner my imagination roams!

  28. Rita says

    08/02/2017 at 9:57 AM

    Oops, I forgot to mention that I’d love to see you review the Enchanted Forest Creatures book (if you haven’t already)
