Join host Gea for a warm, unfiltered conversation with the brilliant Toni from TL YarnCrafts as she walks us through the much-anticipated #FrostandBloomCAL and the heirloom-ready Aura Lapghan you'll be making over six cozy weeks. Toni spills everything, from the inspiration behind the design name, to the practical prep tips you actually need, the clever assembly hacks that save your sanity, and the one motif that stole her heart.
You’ll hear:
✨ Why the blanket’s official name is Aura Lapghan and how “Frost and Bloom” is the spirit of making in winter
🧶 What a lapghan is (hint: heirloom vibes, perfectly sized for one)
🔧 Toni’s top preparation tips: reading stitches, practicing a tighter gauge, and small practice projects to build confidence
🪡 The one assembly rule she swears by: weave in your ends as you go (and why you’ll thank her later)
🧩 Why the join technique is crochet-based (no eternal whip stitching!) and how the seaming order makes assembly zippy
🌿 Why the cotton-wool blend was chosen
🎨 How Part 5 lets makers personalize the Lapghan with five filler motifs of their choosing
💖 Toni’s absolute favorite motif
Plus: Toni’s advice for makers of every level (yes, even if motifs ramp up in complexity), small-gauge tips for long-lasting blankets, and practical week-by-week expectations so you know what to prepare for.
Ready to join the CAL, level up your motif skills, and make a blanket you’ll love for winters to come? Hit play and start stitching with us. ✨🧶
