Ep 21: Why CALs are amazing to put yourself on the map as a crochet designer

Mind of the Crochet Designer podcast

In this episode, I open up about my journey with hosting crochet-alongs, including some hard lessons I learned when I first started.

I just wrapped up hosting my 8-week "Overstory" crochet-along, and the experience was absolutely amazing. It got me thinking about how crochet-alongs have completely transformed my design journey, and they might do the same for you. The mistakes I made in my first CAL taught me so much, and now I want to share these lessons with you.

This episode is perfect for you if:

• You're a crochet designer (or thinking about becoming one)
• You want to build a stronger connection with your crochet community
• You're looking for ways to grow your following and pattern sales
• You're interested in hosting your own crochet-along but feeling unsure about where to start
• You want to create events that people actually look forward to joining

I share some of my best practices for hosting successful crochet-alongs, and I've got a special surprise for my listeners - but you'll have to tune in to find out what it is!

One thing I will say: there's a lot more to hosting a great crochet-along than just cutting up a pattern into pieces and slapping a discount on it. I'll tell you why, and what you should do instead.
Grab your favorite WIP (work in progress), your beverage of choice, and join me for this relaxed but information-packed episode.
