2015 MooglyBlog Afghan Crochet-Along?

[MadApple]

Is anyone doing the 2015 MooglyBlog Afghan Crochet-Along? The crafty local ladies I met up with for the first time earlier this month want to do a CAL so we can work on the blocks when we meet up. I just got my yarn today, and I'm hoping to get the first block done by our meeting on Sunday. Three of the blocks have been released so far (one every two weeks), so I need to play a bit of catch up.

It would be awesome if some of you CAL with me too.

@thiscrazylifeilove - They have been including a link in each block post to free alternative patterns you could make instead. Each block measures 12" square, so you can make any block you like that finishes that size.

I'm a little nervous about the first block because both of the ladies I met up with were having a hard time figuring out how to do it. I hear that the video really helps, so I'm going to cross my fingers and queue up the video and put it on repeat.

This sounds like so much fun!!

There is a Ravelry group for the CAL too.

Ohhh! This sounds so fun! I've got a Granny Square afghan I've been working on for a long time, so I won't commit to doing a CAL until I get that finished. MH would shit if I bought more yarn.

Hah! Mine keeps making little jokes about me ending up on Hoarders: Crafter Edition.

I so want to do this but i just taught myself to crochet last month. I'm going to practice this year and do it next year. .you know, once I've done more than dish cloths.

I have always wanted to do one of these! I just have so many half finished and queued projects that I can't commit to it. Maybe next year I'll be more caught up? (Haha yeah.... No- but I'm sure my yarn stash will be bigger!)
