Unfortunately, I have to work full time in order to support my crochet hobby. (Okay, and the other non-crafty aspects of my life.)
That means that my crafting time is limited. So while there are so many projects I want to do, I don’t have nearly enough time to do them all!
Basically, this means that I have to plan my projects (especially my CALs) well in advance. It’s only February, but we have a full year booked for 2017. I’ve also got some ideas for some small non-CAL projects that I hope to sneak in at random this year.
But next year?
Ah, 2018. A blank slate. I could make whatever I want! But there’s just one problem…
Too. Many. Ideas.
Here’s what I’ve got running around my brain:
Muppets CAL. LOTR CAL. Superhero/Super Villain CAL. 90’s CAL. Solar System CAL. General Science CAL. Crochet CAL. Supernatural CAL. Typewriter CAL. Monsters of Doctor Who CAL. General Sci-Fi CAL.
And so many amis! Supernatural. Doctor Who. The Hobbit/LOTR. Gilmore Girls. Sherlock. More STEMinism amis. Self-portrait amis. Princess Bride. Pirates of the Caribbean.
How does a crafter choose?
2018 is going to be such a fun year full of amazing projects. Who knows–we may even make it a themed year!
If there is something listed here that excites you, please let me know! Leave a comment or send me an email–I’d love to hear your opinions. Thanks for reading!
Supernatural and LOTR CALs sound great to me. A Buffy CAL would also be super-awesome.
superhereos sounds a great idea with both male and female figures, and muppets too. love your designs. thank you for your time in doing the patterns, x
I think all of them are great – must confess really love the idea of The Muppets – a firm favourite of my Family. Can I ask whilst on if you have done a Pokemon Cal ? I have two of my Grandchildren who are Pokemon mad but I cannot see a pattern. I am fairly new to Crochet but The Harry Potter and Star Wars Cals are works slowly in progress. I find your patterns truly amazing so easy to follow and am so glad I found you. Long may you continue 😉❤
Hi Marion! Thanks for the kind comment! I have not made a Pokemon CAL, but that’s a fantastic idea. If you are a member of our Facebook group (link below), I’m sure someone there has an idea of where to find some links for Pokemon graphs!

Totally need Supernatural in my life!!!! Princess Bride too.
I like the ideas of General Science, Supernatural and General SF CALs.
The ones that stand out for me are: The superhero/ super villian CAL, Supernatural CAL, and the solar system CAL. If I had to choose one it would be Supernatural because I am a HUGE fan!
Love all the ideas and your patterns are always great. I’m still hoping for a Monument Valley CAL. There is something about that game design that I think would look super worked up.
I am not familiar with Monument Valley…I’ll have to check it out! 🙂
Goodness, at the rate you are coming up with ideas I may have to get a job to buy yarn. I am still working on Harry Potter and I have Firefly going. Thanks for the amazing projects.
Muppets were my jam as a kid! I’m intrigued by the typewriter & crochet CAL. Have you thought about having helpers? Kind of like Fandom in Stitches does with their fandom quilts. Just a thought!
Muppets and LotR! Two of my favourite things. 🙂
Super hero’s, pirates. Would also like a Buffy the vampire slayer. Thanks for all you do!
Muppets! Muppets! Muppets! 😍 Especially if they’re old school muppets. What about a holiday CAL one based on the old movie, Muppet Family Christmas where Muppet muppets and sesame street muppets were all together? That would give more options, and there was a snow man in that movie as well.
Oh man, they ALL sound amazing! I honestly can’t choose a favourite idea. But that does mean I’ll be happy whatever you choose 😉
Muppets would be great, and hopefully by next year I will have finished my HP and Princess blankets. 😊
Oh, the solar system would be amazing!!!!!
