START HERE: Your First 24 Hours in the Sanctuary 🕊️🧶
​Welcome home! You made it. Take a second to just exhale. You’ve officially entered a "No-Hustle Zone." Whether you’re here to tackle anxiety, find a creative spark, or you just want a hobby that doesn't involve a glowing screen, we are so glad you’re here. In the Sanctuary, we aren’t just learning to make knots; we’re learning a new language of relaxation. ​To help you get settled without the "new group" jitters, here is your 3-step map for your first day: ​Step 1: The "Meet & Greet" (The Handshake) 🤝 ​Head over to the Community Tab and find the "The Handshake" category. This is our digital welcome mat. Pull up a chair and tell us: - ​What’s your "why"? What are you hoping to "unravel" (like stress or overthinking) while you're here? - ​The Yarn Vibe: Is your current stash neat and tidy, or a total "yarn-nado"? - ​The Uniform: Do you have a favorite pair of stitching pants yet? (Remember: Hard pants are strictly optional here). ​Step 2: Grab Your Toolkit (The Classroom) 🎒 ​Head over to the Classroom Tab and open the folder: "The Getting Grounded Toolkit." * Watch the 3-Breath Hook-Up video. It’s only 3 minutes long, but it will change the way you pick up your hook forever. Your nervous system will thank you. ​Step 3: Learn the "Sanctuary Map" (The Rooms) 🗺️ ​Think of our community categories as different rooms in our shared "Quiet Room." Here is where to hang out: - ​🧪 The Design Lab: For your "Work in Progress." We love the messy middle! - ​🌳 Beyond the Hook: Real life, unraveled. Pets, sunsets, and non-crochet wins. - ​🎙️ The Hook Up: Our Virtual Front Porch for Live Office Hours and replays. - ​🙏 Gratitude Hook: Share what you’re learning or one thing you're thankful for. - ​🎤 Mic Drop: Your Victory Lap! Show off those finished projects. - ​🍯 The Secret Sauce: The insider’s manual for tips and tricks. - ​🪑 The Thinking Chair: For deep breaths and "aha!" moments. - ​🙌 High-Five Hub: Our Hype Squad. Give someone a public shout-out!

The "CEO of Chill" is taking a Reset Day 🕊️✨
👋Hey Sanctuary family, ​I’m popping in to lead by example today. Today I am taking the 3-Breath Hook-Up and clearing the Visual Clutter for myself—and for the vibe of this community. ​I’m taking some time today to step away from the "to-do" list and focus on resetting. I'm clearing my space, checking in with my own nervous system, and making sure the "Quiet Room" starts off as exactly that—quiet, cozy, and intentional for all of us. ​I’m ditching the Hard Pants, grabbing my Anchor Hook, and spending some quality time in a Yarn-Trance to recharge my batteries. 🔋 ​But I want to hear from you! To find our collective flow, we all need to hit the "undo" button sometimes. So, tell me: ​What are you doing to reset today? * Are you finally putting on your Stitching Pants? 👖 ​Are you doing a "Deep Frog" on a project that’s been stressing you out? 🐸 ​Are you just sitting with your yarn and breathing for five minutes? 🌬️ ​Drop a comment below and let us know your reset plan. Let’s hold some space for each other to just be today. 👇🧶
🏆 Drop your "Victory Photos" here! (No project is too small)
Let’s be honest—some weeks, finishing a project feels like winning an Olympic gold medal. 🥇 ​Between the holiday chaos, the "frogging" (rip-it, rip-it 🐸), and the general madness of December, actually reaching the end of a skein is a total mental health win. Finishing a project isn’t just about the yarn; it’s about the dopamine hit of saying, "I did the thing!" ​Whether you finished a giant chunky blanket at The Makery (one of my local classes)this week, conquered a single Christmas ornament, or finally wove in the ends of a project you started in 2022... WE WANT TO SEE IT. ​The Rules: ​1️⃣No "perfection" allowed. We love wonky stitches and "character." 2️⃣​Bragging is mandatory. 3️⃣​If you haven't finished a project yet, post a photo of a row you’re proud of! Now, take a second to look at what you made. You took a single string and turned it into a thing. You’re basically a magician. 🪄 ​Post your victory photos in the comments below so we can virtually high-five you! 👇
