So, like many others, this will also be my first CAL - ironically, CAL also = my initials! so woo hoo for this project!! I am still trying to work on my color choices - I went to the store to see some samples in hand for true color and I am loving the feel of this yarn. Can't wait!!

I was amazed at how squishy this yarn is. My swatch came out so soft. I hope it washes well.

I agree... I don't like to make granny squares... I am finishing an afghan with squares and I really dislike sewing them all together. I would love a CAL, but not with individual squares... So, I guess I will join you next time. Thanks....

They won't be granny squares. We will miss you!

So you'll have a "CAL by CAL"
Love it!

I love the feel of the Waverly yarn as well. Makes working with it a real joy.

I believe it will wash well, since it's a premium acrylic.

I'm weird with my knitted items, though. I take EXTRA care of them in the washer and dryer. I don't want all my work to be undone by a machine. So, I always use the GENTLE cycle for my handknits, and I wash them in COLD water. Then, I dry them on the DELICATE setting. It is probably not necessary for me to do that, but I believe it makes my handknits last longer.

Hello! I'm so looking forward to crocheting my first Mystery Afghan! Just ordered the yarn and can hardly wait!! Thanks for the tips in the 'Color Tutorial' and 'My Palette'. Those really helped me choose the colors for this project.

First time to do the CAL. Just ordered my yarn...my wonderful husband helped choose the colors. We chose Greek Sea, Aqua Frost, Birch White, Colonial Beige and Bark. Excited to be starting a new project.

Hi everyone,
This is my first time doing CAL and I am excited and looking forward to it, I've done bead crochet and scrunchies for my daughters. I'm hoping for it to be smooth going since I'm left handed I've had a hard time crocheting because of it.
