[@DJShivanki]

Thank you so much for this! I still use them for my dj stuff... But have been thinking about what to do with the old scratched ones or the music that gets too old.... This is a great idea! Thank you for explaining so clearly

[@celticknotcrochet]

You are welcome! So glad you like the project idea and can use some of your old CD's for it. Plus, they would look neat hung up at your next event. :) Happy crocheting!

[@fairylady5]

Hi Jennifer, sorry to bother you with this question. I am crocheting another mandala and it very wavy instead of a flat circle, I already have about 5 rows. How can a make more flat without taking out these rows? By the way I did finish your project, just waiting to buy the beads to complete it. It came out really beautiful! Thanks!

[@celticknotcrochet]

Hello! So glad your first one came out beautiful :) - If your project is getting wavy, then you've accidentally added too many stitches. To fix it somewhat without ripping out, you should make the chains in between the ch-5 sps less for the next round (sc, ch 2) instead of (sc, ch 3). Or you could take out the last round of (sc, ch 5, sk 2) and skip 3 or 4 stitches instead of just 2. Hope this helps! Happy creating🙂

[@gc0009]

try decreasing the needle size or making your stitches tighter (with more hand tension)

[@kathybrewer3182]

Could u do a video of a purse that will hold a lot ?Maybe with pockets

[@celticknotcrochet]

I'll keep that in mind as I work on new designs - thank you for watching

[@fairylady5]

Hi Jennifer , I just finished mine, however mine is so much smaller than a cd. What can I do, should I do another round of double crochets? I think my stitches are more tight than yours. 😕

[@celticknotcrochet]

Hi! Glad to hear you are trying this project - I would do another Round 4 and then repeat Rounds 5 and 6 (as you thought) - since the mandala alternates between a solid round and a lacy round you can just keep doing these types of rounds until it measures the size of a CD. You can also make the chain lengths longer so they extend farther toward the edge of the CD. :) Hope this helps - happy creating! (Please send along a photo if you think of it)

Hello i am from the Netherlands and i like to know what yarn o have to use Cotton50 gram 125 mtr? and the hook size.? These CDs are so beautiful.

[@celticknotcrochet]

Hi - I used Size 3 cotton crochet thread and a 2.75 mm crochet hook - the yarn shown is no longer made but there are many other alternatives by other manufacturers. You could also use Size 10 thread in a double-strand or sock yarn.

[@JennyShiels-p1x]

How do change my tension for this project

[@celticknotcrochet]

There are many ways you can change the size of your crocheted circle. Here are a few things to try: For a smaller circle: - Use a thinner yarn/thread - Use a smaller hook -Eliminate the last 2 rounds of circle or however many you need to take off to have it be the same size as the CD For a larger circle: - Use a thicker yarn/thread -Use a larger hook - Add 2 more rounds by repeating the last 2 or however many you need to add to have it be the same size as the CD Please let me know if this helps you

Buenas noches, le hago una consulta, son 30 los puntos altos que pone en el anillo? conozco bien los puntos, simplemente se me complica con el idioma, lo rentelice pero no estoy segura, desde ya muchas gracias, se ve hermoso el trabajo, la saludo desde Argentina, un gusto.

[@celticknotcrochet]

¡Hola! No estoy seguro de lo que está preguntando, pero creo que está preguntando sobre las puntadas alrededor del disco. Hay 20 bucles de 5 canales cerca del borde del disco y luego 20 festones alrededor del borde exterior del disco. ¿Esto ayuda? (I just used google translate to help me with understanding your comment and to help me answer you - here is my answer in English about how many scallops are around the disc? Hello! I am not sure what you are asking but I think you are asking about the stitches around the disc. There are 20 ch-5 loops near the edge of the disc and then 20 scallops around the outer edge of the disc. Does this help?)

What size is the yarn?

The yarn is Size 3 cotton crochet thread which you can find on-line and at your local craft store. I'll add some yarn links to the video description this week! 🙂

[@sueblakey1858]

Can you use wool with 4 mm hook?

[@celticknotcrochet]

Hi! Yes, you could it's just your mandala might come out bigger than the CD so you could use shorter stitches (sc instead of dc) or smaller chain spaces. If you have tight tension, then it might work out just fine for you. Have fun experimenting - thank you for watching! :)
