What is a craft-a-long?

A craft-a-long is a group event where crafters make the same projects, meeting regularly to work on parts of the pattern together. They are also sometimes called knit-a-longs (KALs) and crochet-a-longs (CALs). Craft-a-longs can be large-scale events, where parts of a pattern are released in stages, or they can be as simple as all creating the same item, at the same time!
