​Welcome to Day 4! Today we are reaching even higher. The Treble Crochet (sometimes called the Triple Crochet) is the "tallest" of the standard stitches. It creates a loose, airy, and very flexible fabric. If you’ve been feeling a little restricted or "closed in" lately, this stitch is your remedy—it’s all about expansion and letting the light through. Sorry 3 rows not 5

Happy Wednesday, everyone. We’ve hit the middle of the week, and if you’re like me, your "mental tabs" might be feeling a little full. It’s time for a sensory dump. ​Today, I’m leaning into the sound of rain. ​There is a reason why so many of us feel a collective "exhale" when the clouds turn grey and the pitter-patter starts on the roof. Science calls it Pink Noise—a steady, rhythmic sound that creates a flat blanket of noise, helping our brains tune out the "sharp" distractions of the world. It naturally lowers our cortisol and tells our nervous system: “It’s okay to slow down now.” ​Crochet is the physical version of that rainfall. ​🧶The sound of your hook sliding through the yarn. 🧶The rhythm of "yarn over, pull through." ​🧶The weight of the project growing in your lap. 🌧​When we combine the sound of the rain with the movement of our hooks, we aren’t just making a project; we are creating a sensory sanctuary. We are realigning our busy "Wednesday brains" back into our bodies. ​Let’s Ground Together: ​1️⃣Close your eyes for 10 seconds. Imagine the sound of a gentle spring rain. ​2️⃣Take a deep breath and notice where you are holding tension (Is it your jaw? Your shoulders?). ​3️⃣Pick up your hook and do just one row, matching your pace to that steady, rhythmic rain. ​I want to hear from you: Does the rain make you feel more creative or more restful? What is one "Hump Day" stressor you’re letting go of during our call today? ​✨ Don't forget: Our Grounding Call is today at 1:30 PM EST! We’ll be leaning into these senses together. See you there!

What are you working on? Have you started the HexiCardi CAL? Finishing up our Alpine Peak Scarf CAL? Working your way thru The Stitch-A-Day Mood Project maybe? Maybe you're working on something of your own? Show us what your working on! Tonight, I just finished this customer order and am about to work on Week 4 of a CAL with Hooked On Handmade.

Taking care of ourselves is far more important than any work we may do. What is one moment of rest, self-care, or intentional pause you will allow yourself today? I started my day with my electrolytes and sat to organize my brain for the day. When the kids woke, I reminded them of their morning "tasks" and asked for my time for me. They are quietly eating breakfast and watching PBS Kids and I feel renewed and accomplished. How does your moment recharge your 'Maker' spirit?
