How the 2023 Temperature CAL Will Work

This is what my intentions are for this CAL…..

I will provide….

• Recommendations on a layout for 12″ squares
• Options for colorways and gauges, but you are free to set up your own
• 12″ square recommendations
• Tips and tricks as we go

The 12″ square pattern suggestions will be collected from Ravelry and/or the Moogly CAL. The Moogly CAL has been going on for several years, if you are not aware of it. They release a pattern for a 12″ square every two weeks. This is what gave me the idea for doing this CAL. I will be selecting squares that might lend themselves more for up to 10-11 colors. However, since weather occurs in cycles, it is likely that you will have a few days that will need the same color and that you will not need to use 10 different colors. For example, Day 1: 72 | Day 2: 73 | Day 3: 73 | Day 4: 80 | Day 5: 81 | Day 6: 80 | Day 7: 82 | Day 8: 83 | Day 9: 83 | Day 10: 85 – Depending on the gauge you use, this may end up only being 3-5 colors needed! The example above shows 5 colors that occurred over a 10-day period.

You can choose to…

• Use the colors in order from inside to outside (first day is the first round)
• Reverse the colors so the center shows the most recent (so, round 1 is actually day 10, then day 9, etc)
• Once you know the colors generated for the 10 days, put them in any combination/order

I will most likely go with option 3 myself. The idea is to represent the color “feeling” of the 10 days in a square, but still have control over color placement.
