First four blocks of Moogly CAL 2017

Slowly but surely I am continuing my progress with the blocks of the Moogly CAL 2017. So far seven blocks have been published. I nearly finished the fifth. It’s the first time I’m part of a CAL group and it really is a lot of fun working on a project together with a bunch of other people.

Next week we have a holiday – Passover – and I’ll have some time off from work. It’s going to be all about meeting with the family and having a good time. Hopefully, I’ll be able to catch up a little on my blocks.

Meanwhile, here are my four finished blocks. Not blocked yet, but still beautiful :)

Moogly CAL 2017 - So what does 'CAL' mean?

In this post I want to talk about something that I only recently acknowledged - CAL.

For those of you who don't know, CAL means 'Crochet Along'. It works like this: at a regular point of time (could be every week or every two weeks or whatever is decided by the person who organizes the CAL) a pattern is published on the CAL organizer's blog (or other social media) with the pattern to the current step of the CAL for all to see and follow. There are many types of CALs - for blankets, for afghans, for mandalas, for a themed subject (Harry Potter, etc.), for amigurumi, well actually for every use of crochet you can find a CAL. It's a great way to learn some new techniques or to try on something new, and the best part is that it is often accompanied by a group of people, mostly on Facebook or Ravelry, so you can ask for advice on the pattern, the gauge, the colors or whatever you need help with. It's fun to share your work with other people who enjoys the same CAL as you at the same time.
