LOVE is in the Air

The square was designed in order to help raise the vibration of all people who get in contact with it - those who make it and those who get the opportunity to use a finished item made from square, whether this is a shawl, a throw, a blanket or a cushion.  I felt the need for a raise in vibration when people started to succumb to a state of fear and panic as a result of the ‘outbreak’ of the ‘Corona virus’. When a message from my dear friend Taryn LeNu, who is a shining being, a Light worker, author and cancer survivor, shared this message in her ‘Women Raising Vibration’ group, the design for this square presented itself without the least delay. Here is Taryn's message: “Corona in Latin terms means “Crown”. The Crown Chakra is our connection to Source, our Light Teams and Ancestors.  The Crown chakra is what connects us to Higher Dimensions and this is where Higher Frequency light comes through.  This virus hype is  messing with the heads of people and we are sadly witnessing people physically tackling each other in shops over toilet paper.  Messing with people's minds shifts people's frequency to one of Fear&Panic and is the fastest route to halting the progression of a spiritual awakening. We are on the cusp of a massive shift in humanity's consciousness and you can feel us reaching the tipping point into mass understanding and awareness. But Fear&Panic are the lowest vibrational frequencies a person can hold.  When you are immersing yourself in these lower frequencies the body shuts down from attaining LIGHT.  I urge all you Beautiful, GLORIOUS, high vibrational women to please focus on love, kindness, compassion and courage. Mindfully watch where your thoughts are wandering and hold yourself accountable to be focussed on what you WANT instead of what you don't want. Be protective of what/who is governing your mind and what you choose to perpetuate.  The 2020 energy is amazing for personal manifestation when we harness our personal thought directions in spite of the external chaos that is there ... the portals are open, the gates to higher frequencies are wide open. ” - Taryn LeNu The message could not be more appropriate these days, with all the political craziness going on at the moment.  Plus, Valentine's Day is not far away and this is the perfect square for a project that shows your loved one(s) your appreciation. **Download files included in this pattern:** The updated **Extended Pattern** file with * a **Special Stitches Overview** - ideal to be used with the IOC Chart; the detailed, written step-by-step pattern with special stitches used above each round they appear, visuals for rounds that seem complicated / have repeats or repeats within repeats / contain special stitches, plus stitch marker recommendations - all in all pattern instructions that are so detailed that even an adventurous 'just-beyond-beginner' crocheter can tackle the square; * Links to the **right- and left-handed video tutorial** where we go through each round together and you can just simply crochet along; * the **Pattern in a Nutshell** - a condensed pattern version with only the pattern rounds (without the extra special stitch definitions) for those who already have a good grip of the terminology and just want/need the simplified instructions; this is great if you want to make the square several times and you only need to refer to the basic round instructions; Plus the updated **Extended Pattern Photo Tutorial** * like the **Extended Pattern**, only with added step-by-step pictures and without the visuals - includes close-ups for every pattern instruction, finished sides and finished rounds; suggestions and photos for optional or essential stitch marker placements; Plus the updated **Image Overlay Crochet Chart** * with the **Special Stitches** used explained on the chart itself - this can be used as a stand-alone resource or in conjunction with the **Special Stitches Overview**; if you understand the chart, you won't even need the written pattern!
