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 4-step map for your first day: Step 1: Learn the "Sanctuary Roadmap" 🗺️ Before you dive into the stitches, head over to the Classroom and open the module: "Your Journey from Deep Inhale to Sanctuary Master." This is your guide to how we grow here. You'll see our 9 Levels—from Knot Nervous to Yarn Sage—and the specific courses you unlock at each milestone. Step 2: The Point System (Creative Karma) 📈 In the Sanctuary, we reward kindness and engagement. 1 Like = 1 Point. * When you post or comment and a neighbor "likes" it, you earn points. You only need 5 points to reach Level 2 (Knot Nervous) and unlock your first bonus course: The 2026 Lab! Step 3: The "Meet & Greet" (The Handshake) 🤝 Head over to the Community Tab and find "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) 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? (Hard pants are strictly optional). Step 4: Grab Your Toolkit (The Classroom) 🎒 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.

Hook, Yarn, and Hydration. 💧🧶
Before the first stitch of the week is made, I’m filling up my glass. I’m bringing back my old habit of starting the day with water and electrolytes. It’s a small "reset" that clears the brain fog and helps me focus on the patterns and students ahead of me. If I don't take care of the maker, the making doesn't happen! Cheers to 2nd Grade Math (Homeschool), body/brain reset and an amazing Monday! How are you fueling your Monday? Coffee? Water? A giant to-do list? Let’s hear it! 👇

The Cloud Carry All Handbag
Yesterday I tackled the tote full of Blanket Yarn scraps. Some small, others half skeins, but none enough for a blanket. I completed these 6 bags.

My #1 Secret for Teaching Kids (and everyone else!) to Crochet 🤫
I often get asked how I got my kids to learn. My secret? The "Chain Challenge." Don't start with a project. Start with a personal challenge. See who can make the longest "snake". It builds muscle memory without the frustration of turning rows. Teaching someone you love can be... stressful. I work hard to take the stress out of the process.

Ready to carry a cloud? ☁️👜
In this project, we are taking those awkward lengths of blanket yarn—the ones too small for a blanket but too big to toss—and turning them into a high-end handbag. What you’ll learn: How to create a "no-stretch" base with bulky yarn. The trick to seamless color changes (essential for plush fibers!). How to give your bag professional structure. Check out the newest module #The "Cloud Carry-All" Handbag for all the details! Done with your base? Post a photo of your color palette in the comments below! I want to see those textures! 👇

Your path to a calmer mind. Over the coming weeks, we will use the rhythm of the hook to quiet anxiety, find our flow, and practice self-compassion.
