Moogly announces month-long MooglyCAL2026, live hangout and giveaway schedule

Tamara Kelly went live on Facebook and YouTube at 11am CT on March 4 to launch month-long MooglyCAL2026 and to outline Moogly’s March plans, including a four-week crochet-along and a calendar of new tutorials. The Moogly blog post published March 4 announced that the CAL will deliver pattern sections on four Mondays - March 9, 16, 23, and 30 - with the video tutorials for each section going live the next day on Tuesdays: March 10, 17, 24, and 31.

Moogly published a specific yarn list for the CAL, labeled on the blog as “CAL Yarns: Brava Worsted, Swish Worsted, Jimmy Beans Wool Beanstalk, Berroco Vintage, and MadTosh Vintage.” The post also displays MooglyCAL2026 Block 4 with credit reading “MooglyCAL2026 Block 4 Courtesy of Oombawka Design,” indicating a guest or third-party block in the set of weekly releases.

The blog spelled out how to join the CAL and reassured readers about the format: “There is nowhere to sign up specifically for the CAL, and there are no deadlines - just fun!” Video timing was explicit: “The pattern will be released over 4 Mondays - March 9, 16, 23, and 30. The video tutorials for each section go live the next day (Tuesdays: March 10, 17, 24, 31).” Moogly’s post included calls to action to Like the Moogly Facebook Page, Subscribe to the Moogly YouTube Page, and join the Moogly Community Group on Facebook; the blog also invited sign-ups to a free weekly email newsletter.

Beyond the CAL, the March 4 post promoted other projects and drives by name. The Warm Up America Baby Blanket Drive and the “Baby’s Biggest Fan Blanket Pattern” plus its tutorial were listed, along with a mention of WeCrochet Brava Baby DK. A time-sensitive promotion was highlighted exactly as written: “Blanket Crochet Pattern Bundle Hosted by Nicki's Homemade Crafts - ends March 6, 2026, at midnight PT!” The post also pointed to a “Split Cuff Slippers Free Crochet Pattern” and tutorial, and included a detailed supply note for the Fab Flower Basket tutorial: “What You'll Need: Your favorite US-H, 5.0 mm crochet hook, and 620 yards of Fingering or Sport weight yarn just waiting to be stitched! Note that Katia lists the yarn I used as a Sport, but Ravelry lists it as a Fingering weight. The great thing about this shawl is that either weight of yarn should work, so find your favorite in either 1 or 2 weight. Self-striping is particularly fun!”

An earlier summary provided to researchers mentioned a giveaway as part of March plans, but the March 4 blog excerpt supplied here does not include giveaway prize details, rules, or dates. That giveaway therefore remains unconfirmed in the provided excerpts and was not visible in the March 4 post material.

Tamara Kelly’s live cadence and tone were reinforced by a March 2025 YouTube listing and transcript: the channel listing showed 242,000 subscribers at the time of the March 13, 2025 post, with that specific video listed at 817 views and 55 likes. The transcript contained the line “I will catch you guys again with another live scheduled for March 26 back at 11:00 a.m.” and a location remark that “the weather here in Iowa has been absolutely Bonkers,” underlining Moogly’s recurring 11:00 a.m. live start time and conversational live format.

The March 4 blog closed with a candid production note that readers will recognize from past Moogly posts: “This post may contain affiliate links. Live videos are unscripted, unedited, and occasionally weird; all opinions are my own.” With pattern releases starting March 9 and tutorials following on Tuesdays, Kelly’s schedule sets a clear, no-signup path for makers to stitch along.
