    Announcing the 2015 Moogly Afghan Crochet-Along!

    Published: Dec 18, 2014 by Tamara Kelly · 229 Comments

    The Moogly Afghan Crochet-a-long for 2014 was a huge success, and I've loved seeing everyone's projects all year! But the one question everyone has been asking for the past month.... what's the plan for 2015? Well, I'll tell you!

    The 2015 Moogly Afghan CAL details are announced!

    I learned a lot in 2014, as it was my first time leading a CAL! And I set up a survey towards the ends, to see how you all felt about the experience, and what you hoped to see this next year. The responses were very enlightening!

    The vast majority would like to repeat last year's CAL - with new blocks of course! So that's what we're going to do. In 2015, I'll share a new 12" block every 2 weeks - and you can CAL it with the rest of us, or if you don't like it, select your own substitution. At the end, you can seam and edge them however you like. And you'll have a 4' x 6' (or bigger!) afghan to show off!

    Now, one big problem we had in 2014 was patterns that were free... becoming paid. The other problem was blogs going offline, and taking their patterns into the ether! Well, I've come up with a solution for both that I'm very excited about!

    For the 2015 Moogly Afghan CAL, I've recruited 24 of my favorite fellow crochet bloggers. They'll each design a 12" block for the CAL - and it will always be free on their blogs! You'll get to visit new and beloved designers and we won't have to worry about any limited time offers. Some have already gotten started, and I know you're going to love what they come up with!

    Once again we'll be using worsted/aran weight yarn, and a US - I, 5.5mm hook. Beyond that, each designer has been given free rein to design something fun and exciting, in as many colors as they see fit!

    I plan on using Lion Brand Vanna's Choice - though I'm still deciding on a color palette. Based on last year's CAL, I'll plan on purchasing 24-28 skeins, though I know with the Vanna's Choice that dye lot won't really be an issue. If you cannot purchase all your skeins at once, I'd recommend picking a non dye lot yarn, or one where the dye lots don't seem to matter. However, if you're using multiple colors and mixing up the order of the blocks while joining, the dye lot really won't matter at all - all things to consider!

    Also exciting - there's a new Ravelry group for the 2015 CAL! CLICK HERE to check it out and join up! It's a great place to show off your finished blocks, and get help with tricky ones too. The moderators are volunteers, and work very hard to keep things running smoothly, so please give them some thanks - they're a HUGE help!

    If you're still finishing up the 2014 CAL, don't worry - my posts aren't going anywhere, and I'll keep the link in the drop down menu at the top of the page so you can find them throughout 2015. However, I do recommend printing or downloading the rest of the patterns asap - many will become paid or may disappear, and I cannot provide them to you! If you need help with one, check out the appropriate thread in the Ravelry 2014 CAL group!

    So, I hope you'll join us in 2015! I can't wait to see what this year has in store - after all, the blocks themselves will be a surprise to me too, this time around! The first block for the 2015 CAL will be shared on January 8th!

            Caron United has 235 yards per skein, so it depends what size you're making how many skeins. 🙂

        That's a really personal thing. I've seen some that look amazing all in one color, and I've seen scrapghans that were fantastic too! I used 4 last year, but I think whatever number and combo speaks to you is the right answer. 🙂

      I came to this website late so didn't get in on the 2014 CAL. I am looking forward to trying to keep up with 2015. I wanted to make a afghan for a friend and will be using a lot of the squares from the 2014. Who knows I may add some of the 2015 to it while making my own afghan from the CAL. I look forward to increasing my skill set this coming year.

        It's 4' x 6' plus - the border and joining method each person chooses adds a fair bit. 🙂 And this year's might use less! It's hard to say with any certainty.

      i've just recently gotten back into crocheting and have saved the blocks from your 2014 CAL. I am looking forward to participating in the 2015 CAL to help in adding to my crocheting skills. Since I have been out of crocheting for about 30 years, although I have still been knitting, the smaller blocks should be easier to re-learn this awesome craft than a larger project.

        I'll share a new square every two weeks, but of course you work at your own pace. 🙂 Usually a square takes an evening, maybe two, so it's relatively easy to catch up if you do fall behind!

      I loved the CAL 2014 and want to participate in the new one. Several things I did last time that I will do differently this time. I will stick to no more that 4 colors . that is the easy part. the other thing is this large afghan is very heavy and I would like to make the 2015 with lighter weight yarn. Can I do this and still come up with the same measurements? if so what type of yarn would you suggest? Thanks. Judi

        You can definitely do it with lighter yarn, but the blocks will be smaller. I believe the people who used DK weight ended up with 10 inch blocks. You can always add extras to make it bigger though! 🙂

      i taught myself to crochet when I was 16 with 1 hook 1 skein of red heart yarn and a small bookletI picked up at a dime store ( something that no longer exists) . Way back when in the '60s.that was over 50 years ago, and I'm still hooking away ! I can't begin to imagine how many pair of booties I have crocheted or afghans, or scarves or baby blankets or Shall I go on? The list is endless! I live in Springfield, Illinois. I do not have any children, my husband died in 2005, but I have a wonderful little miniature dachshund, named Dolly, whom I dote on. I live at the Mary Bryant Home for the Blind and Visually Handicapped, because I am losing my sight to macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, but as long as I can see a little and with visual aids, I am going to hook on!

        I think there will be a good variety - and if one is too tough you can always switch it out for an alternative square. 🙂

      I'm looking forward to the 2015 CAL! I've only done about half of the 2014 blocks; I started late, and then stopped to do some gifts. But that's OK; I'll make sure to save/print all the blocks in time, and the finished afghan will be for myself anyway. I chose to do the 2014 blocks in all one color so I could concentrate on learning the stitches. I think I'll try to use 3 or 4 colors for 2015 so I can learn how to do good color changes. Should be fun!

      I'm so excited to get started on this CAL. It will be my first, and I'm making it part of my New Years' Resolutions to complete this project since I have a tendency to pile up UFOs.

      I know you say color choice is a personal thing, but do you have a recommendation for a newbie as to how to go about choosing colors? Like how many is a good, underwhelming number to go with? I'm just asking because I tend to overcomplicate things and then give up because I'm overwhelmed.

      When you say you use 4 colors, it that three for the squares and one to join and border? Is that a good guideline to follow to not get overwhelmed?

      Thanks for your time in answering and in coordinating all this.

      Cheers,

        Hi Shauna! I like 4 colors because it gives me enough options to mix it up on each square, or only use 2 or 3 if that square looks better with fewer colors. Last year I chose red, blue, green, and white, so that I could go "holiday" if I wanted to - red and white for valentines, red, white and blue for 4th of July, red and green for christmas, etc. The last rows were all different for my last one, and then I used the color I had the most left over of to join them. If you want to keep it very simple, you can just use one or two colors. 🙂

      Hi,
      Looking forward to the CAL, never done anything like this before, only started to learn in August 2014 with yarn bought as a birthday present. I'm in the uk, and have just treated myself to about 15 100g balls of dk, my favourite yarn at the moment, in a few different colours. Do you know if that should se me through the project, or will I need a top up?

        The sky is the limit! If you wanted to be sure to get every color in every block, then I'd guess 12 would be a safe maximum, but otherwise it's however many you like!

        Each designer is using their own choice of 1 - 100 colors, it's up to the individual to make the squares as they desire! I'm using 6 colors total this year, but probably not every color will end up in every square. 🙂

      I am so excited for this CAL. I was having difficulty choosing colors for this CAL. While discussing this with my husband and deciding who I was making this for I have decided to crochet my Afghan in Avengers colors. Each square will be the colors of one of Marvels superheros. I love mixing two worlds together that don't typically intertwine and giving it this whole new concept or idea!! I am excited to do this and so is my son!!! He can't wait for me to make him his own blanket little does he know it will take me a year to make it.

      I'm so nervous! I've never done a CAL, I want to do the designers squares justice, but I'm not an experienced crocheter. Advanced Beginner I think! That was one thing I needed to know, what is the difficulty level for the squares? Will there be any help for newbies? I know one CAL in 2014 that had someone who did tutorials for each block. Now, how to join? Do we just start working on the square? I ask a LOT of questions, don't I?

      It was too much!

      I am so flipping excited to do this! I've been a beginner/amateur crocheter for YEARS. I haven't piked up a hook in a few years and about two weeks ago, I collaborated with my sister on a simple granny square blanket to make her. I planned on doing 2 squares a day and have been keeping up with it. I happened to see your finished Square 2 on my FB page and wondered what CAL was, so I clicked to learn more. thought I couldn't possibly do a granny square blanket AND this too! I found some friends in my tiny private crochet group to do it with me and about four of us are doing it together! I have kept up with my sister's blanket and finished both squares. I am so thankful you are doing this and I have already learned SO much from these two squares. THANK YOU for renewing my passion for crochet!
