CAL Designer Spotlight: The Frosted Stitch
Christa of the Frosted Stitch is modeling her Tunisian crochet Student Slouch & Thesis Wrap.
One of the best parts of hosting a CAL is inviting your friends along to join in the fun. Before we jump into the CAL I wanted to take a moment to introduce each of the designers involved in the CAL and share their eligible designs for the event.
If you are new here, you can find the information about the CAL here.
Get to know The Frosted Stitch
Christa is the Canadian-born evil genius behind The Frosted Stitch’s designs and dye house. Before becoming an indie yarn dyer, Christa designed accessory crochet patterns. While this isn’t the sole purpose of her current business, it is something she is very proud of.
Being true to her designer roots, Christa is a supportive member of the fiber community. She works on a medley of collaborations with all of your favorite designers. Check out her list of kits.
Christa’s passions shine through in her yarn collections. She produces a yearly Pirates of the Carribean themed countdown box. Honestly, this box is a masterpiece every year and I’m shocked with the reveals every year. Christa pulls beautiful colors from that franchise. One of my favorite collections of hers is Spices. As someone who loves to cook it called to me.
You can find Christa’s patterns on Ravelry & her Website.
Keep up with Christa:

Mini Skein CAL Details
We will begin our CAL on 1/1 and it will end 2/11. This will give you 6 weeks to complete your project. Now is the time to start thinking about what design you would like to complete.
Where
This event will take place on my Discord Server. If you are already a member you can go to the RoleSelect channel to add CAL participant to your role. If you are new to my Discord server, you will be prompted to select your primary craft and indicate that you are joining the CAL.
why
Because if you’re anything like me, you have far more mini skeins than what you know what to do with! Maybe you bought a countdown box and it didn’t have a pattern included, maybe the pattern included wasn’t to your liking, or maybe…you bought minis with reckless abandon all year long without a project in mind. Whatever the reason, those minis are languishing unused doesn’t matter. What matters is that we put them to good use!
so what’s next?
Over the next few days you will be introduced to all of the designers participating in the CAL. I can’t wait to share who I’ve partnered with! Make sure you are a subscriber to my newsletter to stay updated on what is going on with the CAL.
For now, start gathering your minis and dream of color combinations for your next masterpiece!
