As a crochet artist—and especially as a teacher in my local community —the question I get asked most is: "Do your kids crochet, too?" ​The short answer? Yes! But the "mom" answer? I let them find their own rhythm. ​While all my kiddos have mastered the basics (we’ve made a lot of chains in this house!), I’ve always had a rule: If they aren’t feeling the spark, I don’t push the hook. Creativity should feel like a playground, not a chore! ​But today, my "Crochet Momma" heart is absolutely bursting. My oldest first picked up a hook 16 years ago. What started as tiny, super-tightly woven granny squares has evolved into something truly breathtaking. From stunning wearables to intricate earrings and everything in between, seeing their growth and artistic eye develop has been such a gift. ​It’s a beautiful reminder that when we plant those seeds of creativity—and give them plenty of room to grow—they eventually bloom into something spectacular. 🌸 ​Tell me in the comments: Have you passed your craft down to your kids or grandkids? Or are you the "First Generation" maker in your family? 👇

We are officially in that "limbo week" between Christmas and New Year. Before we rush into 2026 goals, let’s look back! ​I want to see what you’re most proud of from this past year. Was it a massive blanket you finally finished? A gift that made someone cry? Or maybe just finally mastering the magic ring? One of my favorite makes of the year was Laila's temperature blanket. It is weighted with beads a pretty dang large! ​Drop a photo of your favorite 2025 project in the comments below!

​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.

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! 👇

I have been crocheting a while now and have tried so many different methods for tracking orders and projects in the space that I have, bins has been my solution. I pull the yarn, po, & pattern or notes and put them in the bin. I sort them by due date and work on them one at a time. What processes do you use to keep track?
