Sometimes, One Small Step is Everything
We often talk about big goals, but today I want to focus on the quiet hero of the crochet world: the Single Crochet (SC).
It’s the first "real" stitch most of us ever learn after the slip knot and chain. It’s short, it’s sturdy, and it’s reliable. While other stitches are flashy or lacy, the SC is the one that creates a fabric strong enough to hold its shape.
The Sanctuary Perspective on the SC:
🧶The Power of Consistency: The SC is all about rhythm. It teaches your hands how to find a steady tension. When the world feels "wonky," there is something deeply grounding about the insert, yarn over, pull through, yarn over, pull through cadence
🧶Building a Solid Wall: Because the SC is dense, it’s what we use when we need a project to be tough—like a warm hat or a sturdy bag. It reminds us that our "slow and steady" progress is actually building something incredibly strong.
🧶The Mental Reset: When a complex pattern has you feeling frazzled, coming back to a row of SC is like taking a deep, cleansing breath. It’s the "soft pants" of stitches.
A Quick Thought for Today:
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, don't worry about the complicated "trebles" of life. Just focus on the single step right in front of you. One loop at a time.
Are you a fan of the simple SC, or do you find yourself rushing toward the "fancier" stitches?

If crochet makes you feel stupid, it's not you. I teach "impatient" humans with zero pressure. No hovering or perfectionism—just crochet that clicks.
