Choose a template that matches the upcoming holiday or celebration. Personalize it by mentioning your community's name or adding a relevant image. Post it a few days before the holiday to give members time to respond and interact. Encourage replies by spotlighting comments or sharing your own traditions in the thread. Use polls or open questions to maximize participation.
On all platforms, use eye-catching visuals and clear questions to draw attention. Utilize platform features like polls, stories, or pinned posts to increase visibility. Respond to comments to encourage ongoing discussion. Tag or mention members if appropriate to spark participation.
You can leverage the templates' prompts to invite members to share their go-to holiday stitches, like the shell stitch for snowflakes or popcorn stitch for ornaments. Encourage photo posts of finished objects (FOs) using these stitches, and ask follow-up questions about techniques or yarn choices to foster deeper engagement.
Use the templates designed for progress check-ins or sneak peeks. Create a recurring 'Holiday WIP Wednesday' post, encouraging members to share images of their current projects, discuss challenges with complex patterns (like tapestry crochet for Christmas scenes), and exchange tips on keeping holiday deadlines.
Schedule the templates with CAL-specific headers and tag relevant members or roles. Use engaging visuals from the template pack that highlight the CAL theme (e.g., '12 Days of Mini Stockings') and outline start dates, supplies, and progress sharing threads to ensure visibility and participation.
Yes, several templates focus on eco-friendly crocheting and stash-busting. Use these to prompt members to share their best small projects—like mug cozies, ornaments, or amigurumi—crafted from leftover yarn, and facilitate a group discussion on sustainable crocheting practices during the holiday season.
Absolutely! Use the provided 'Secret Santa' or gift exchange templates to outline clear participation rules, deadlines for sign-ups, yarn weight guidelines (like DK vs. worsted), and shipping timelines. Encourage members to share photos of their handmade gifts once received, tagging the maker if desired.
Utilize templates that prompt for storytelling, asking members about unique holiday projects—like crocheted Hannukah gelt bags or Scandinavian-inspired ornaments. Encourage sharing of cultural patterns, color palettes (such as traditional red, green, or blue/white schemes), and family customs involving crocheting during the holidays.
