START HERE: Your First 24 Hours in the Sanctuary 🕊️🧶
Welcome!
I'm so glad that you made it!
Take a second to just exhale. You’ve officially entered a "No-Stress 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!
Head over to the Community Tab and find "The Handshake" category. This is our digital welcome mat. Pull up a chair and share:
🧶Introduce yourself using the template below
🧶Tell us what you’re working on this week
🧶Ask questions in Questions (no lurking forever, I see you)
👋Introduce yourself:
💙Name
💙What’s your "why"? What are you hoping to "unravel" (like stress) while you're here?
💙 Your Yarn Vibe: Is your current stash neat and tidy, or a total "yarn-nado"?
💙 Where you are into/what you do
💙What you’re working on right now
💙One thing you want help with
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.
Step 5: Learn the "Sanctuary Map" (The Rooms) 🛋️
Think of our community categories as different rooms in our shared "Quiet Room":
🧪 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 "Sanctuary Way" (The Golden Rules)
Patience Over Perfection: We don't care if your rows are straight; we care if your heart is calm.
The 3-Breath Start: Always breathe before you stitch.
Frog with Grace: If you have to rip it out (we call it "frogging" 🐸), it’s just bonus meditation time.
Ready to dive in? Go watch that 3-Breath Hook-Up video now, then come say hi in The Handshake to earn your first few points!
We’re so glad you’re part of the tribe. Now, let’s find some flow. 🕊️✨

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.
