CAL - can anyone suggest or recommend one?

I've lost my crochet mojo. :(

I've been tempted by CALs in the past but time or money or other projects have held me back.

I was thinking of trying a CAL (current or old) as a way to get my cro-jo back.

Are there any you can suggest or recommend? :)

I liked this one, but mainly as I was a beginner and it gave me lots of stitches to try, and if one was too hard I just skipped it, or if medium hard I knew I only had to do one or two lines of it!
Got so many compliments on it :)

Interested in seeing other suggestions too.

The Moogly ones are good. This year's one is currently running and the patterns for all the squares from last years will be free for ever. You make a variety of 12" squares and there are suggestions for alternatives to use if you don't like a particular pattern. I haven't finished last year's yet but I made all mine in Stylecraft DK (which meant they cam up at around 10" but this won't matter)

It's on the Moogly blog and there are also Ravelry groups for them.

There is also the "BAM CAL" on Ravely which is Block A Month.

I do like a CAL based on squares as it's portable and also you can end up with something different to everyone else due to placement, colour and alternative square choice.

There's a new one starting on the 20th April, it's Scheepjes CAL 2016 - Last dance on the beach. There is a Facebook page for it, I found out from my local wool shop, Loremar, sorry can't link as still haven't figured out how to do it on my tablet lol.

There's one at the moment on a blog called crystals and crochet, also hosted on the 'official ccc social group' (I think) on Facebook, called mandala madness. Lots of pictures on pinterest if you search mandala madness cal

The stylecraft Frieda's flowers starts tomorrow. I did the lily pond one by the same designer and loved it, so I'm very excited.

This has inspired me to get back to my 2015 Moogly CAL :)
