Welcome to the Merry Marbles Winter Makealong for the winter of 2025! It’s the eighth annual makealong that myself and the lovely Heather from KCACO.UK have collaborated on - you can see the details of all previous CALs and MALs here.
 
Just like our previous endeavours, this makealong promises to be filled with creativity, community, and of course, crochet magic. As we embark on this journey together, let's set the scene for this years makealong!
 
This year's theme is all about not losing your marbles during the holiday hustle and embracing creativity with a splash of vibrancy. Whether you're sipping cocoa by the fire, decorating your home, or sneaking in a few rows between wrapping presents, this makealong promises to keep the fun rolling. Think vivid hues, playful stitches, and festive flair designed to bring a bit of merry mischief into your holiday season. 
 
Don’t worry if life gets a little hectic—this is your chance to unwind, relax, and connect with your fellow crochet enthusiasts, as we stitch together a really marble-ous project. So, grab your exclusive kit, your hook, and let’s make this winter one to remember. After all, with Merry Marbles, the only thing you’ll be losing this winter is yourself in the magic of crochet!
 
🌞 But, what’s a MAL?
Well, we know you’ve heard of CAL or KAL (crochet or knit along respectively!) or even a Mystery knit along (MKAL) ...
... so, a MAL, or Make ALong, is similar to all of these, with only a couple of differences.
 
🌞 A make-along is the specific release of a pattern, with all of the details required to make the design, along with a specific start date for everyone to begin their project, TOGETHER!
 
🌞 The MAL will run from 26th December 2024 to 31st January 2025 for a nice, relaxed Betwixtmas project with plenty of time for you to make a beautiful & exclusively designed CROCHET project .. and this year its a secret!
 
All you need is a 3.25mm crochet hook!
 
An exclusive pattern and kit are being created for this extra special MAL. Each kit will include the following super washed merino 4ply (Sock weight) yarn;
1x 100g / 425m skein of natural yarn
6 x 20g / 425m mini skeins of exclusive hand-dyed colourway
