Thatās good to hear! I made a mini-goal graphic gor the CAL and attached it to the first post of the thread, but looks like we might be moving over to a message system, so stay tuned!
And Iām truly honored by your kind sentiments, thank you so much. 
What a lovely message to wake up to. 
Iāve never seen you be disparaging, in fact youāre always uplifting, so I feel the same could be said about you! 
Keep shining and spreading your light, friend. 
Iām glad youāre interested in joining us! The more the merrier
Originally I was going to have it that way (posting to this thread) because I know some people get overwhelmed with a lot of messages in a chat or group message setting and also in case we had anyone who wanted to join after we started, but it looks like there might be a desire to switch over, so Iāll have a better answer for you soon hopefully.
Been awhile since I made one, glad to see it won too! Also feel like itās a nice, smaller project for people to ease into the CAL with 
Glad youāre excited and echoing the good luck!!
Iām personally fine with that, but idk if we should check first with the rest of the group just to see if theyāre on board, as well!
If we do go that route, I think we have a couple people who werenāt in the original group so we will just need to make sure we get them added, too. Unfortunately I had made the poll without being able to see who voted, so Iām a bit useless there.
I also added a graphic to the first post here with a format for the CAL, so if we could add that to the initial message (if we go that route) that would be great! I can share it here, also, for ease.
Chosen Pattern:
The mini goals established in this graphic are very flexible - do what you can when you have the time! I made these little goals as check-ins for people who prefer a bit more structure and to help keep people accountable and motivated! The most important rule is to have fun and connect with your fellow crafters! If the pattern you were keen on didnāt get selected, have no fear as I am hopeful we can revisit these CALs routinely with different projects throughout the year!
March 3rd-9th: Yarn Selection.This first week people are invited to gather their materials, including the pattern, and share which yarn/colors they will be using for their pillow!
March 10th - 16th: Star Panel #1. We will begin physically working on the pattern and making our first of two pillow panels.
March 17th - 23: Star Panel #2. We will continue working the pattern, starting with our second star panel.
March 24th - March 30th: Stuff and Seam. This week will be dedicated to shaping and closing off our pillows, getting them ready for prime time.
March 31st: Show and tell! Share a final pic of your project and feel free to talk about your experience with this pattern (and the CAL in general) ! 
Excited to create with you all this month!

Oops! Thank you for the heads up. Hopefully we will be able to figure it out together. 
If itās really a mess, I think we can accomplish a similar design using the star blanket, just stopping with smaller stars and seaming together. 
We shall see!
