Choose Your Own 2017 CAL Adventure! Month 1 – January Pillows

With the new year almost here, it is time to start thinking about 2017 CALs!

For our Crochet With Us CAL Group we have decided to do CALs a little bit differently this year. We have decided to go with the theme of “Choose Your Own 2017 CAL” adventure.

We recently polled the CWU CAL group to ask you which types of projects you were most interested in and from your answers we are going to create 1 year of monthly CALs you can participate in. Each month we will give you 3 projects to choose from and you get to vote for your favorite. This will decide the pattern we will make for the month.

Also, because so many of you have asked,  we will try our best to make sure the projects you get to choose from are available on Ravelry. This way you can add project pages for each one you crochet!

This month the selection process will be a little bit rushed…all in just a few days…

Going forward, we will share the 3 possible projects with you on the 2nd Saturday of the month (so for February, pop by on January 14th!). You will have 1 week to choose your favorite and to vote before we will announce the CAL project on the 3rd Saturday of the month. The February 2017 CAL Project will be announced on January 21st. This leaves you with a little over a week to gather the supplies you will need to make the project. Then for the entire month of February we can work on the project, create your project pages and share your progress in the organized Event on CWU!
