00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,962
Okay. Hi guys! I'm very excited because

2
00:00:01,962 --> 00:00:05,292
today we're doing our first annual project-planning video

3
00:00:05,292 --> 00:00:06,965
I asked on my Instagram story

4
00:00:06,965 --> 00:00:08,145
if y'all would want to see this

5
00:00:08,145 --> 00:00:09,803
because it is going to have a lot of spoilers

6
00:00:09,803 --> 00:00:11,035
for what I make this year.

7
00:00:11,035 --> 00:00:12,453
Most of you voted yes.

8
00:00:12,453 --> 00:00:15,733
And I think it would be really helpful for me because

9
00:00:15,733 --> 00:00:17,285
I feel like the past few years

10
00:00:17,285 --> 00:00:19,040
the projects I make...

11
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:20,430
I'm not very intentional about it.

12
00:00:20,430 --> 00:00:22,400
It's like, oh, I saw this inspo photo

13
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,027
or, oh, I have this yarn

14
00:00:24,027 --> 00:00:25,654
And then some of the larger undertakings

15
00:00:25,654 --> 00:00:26,881
or more creative projects

16
00:00:26,881 --> 00:00:28,561
that I am very passionate about

17
00:00:28,561 --> 00:00:30,210
just kind of fall by the wayside.

18
00:00:30,210 --> 00:00:31,963
I also want to be more intentional about my yarn,

19
00:00:31,963 --> 00:00:33,415
because y'all have probably noticed

20
00:00:33,415 --> 00:00:35,391
I just buy whatever yarn I think is pretty

21
00:00:35,391 --> 00:00:37,438
and then find a way to use it later.

22
00:00:37,438 --> 00:00:38,688
But there are certain projects

23
00:00:38,688 --> 00:00:39,819
where I'm not gonna make it

24
00:00:39,819 --> 00:00:41,826
unless I have the perfect yarn for it

25
00:00:41,826 --> 00:00:43,063
So I kinda wanna identify

26
00:00:43,063 --> 00:00:44,598
the gaps in my yarn stash

27
00:00:44,598 --> 00:00:46,407
and make those purchases ahead of time.

28
00:00:46,407 --> 00:00:47,996
And I think for you guys,

29
00:00:47,996 --> 00:00:49,619
it would be fun to get more of a look

30
00:00:49,619 --> 00:00:51,954
into how I find inspo and plan my projects.

31
00:00:51,954 --> 00:00:53,170
Like, usually when I start a video

32
00:00:53,170 --> 00:00:54,369
I already know what I'm gonna make,

33
00:00:54,369 --> 00:00:55,627
but today we're just gonna

34
00:00:55,627 --> 00:00:57,574
do like a live brainstorm session

35
00:00:57,574 --> 00:00:59,043
so scroll through my Instagram saved

36
00:00:59,043 --> 00:01:00,613
my Pineterst boards

37
00:01:00,613 --> 00:01:01,883
and just start figuring out

38
00:01:01,883 --> 00:01:03,552
which projects I'm most excited about.

39
00:01:03,552 --> 00:01:04,500
Now if you watch my videos

40
00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:05,379
you can probably guess

41
00:01:05,379 --> 00:01:06,479
that I'm gonna be doing all of this

42
00:01:06,479 --> 00:01:07,888
in Milanote, which is the tool I use

43
00:01:07,888 --> 00:01:09,796
for pretty much all my creative project planning

44
00:01:09,796 --> 00:01:10,752
I can just show you some of my

45
00:01:10,752 --> 00:01:12,108
previous boards as an example.

46
00:01:12,108 --> 00:01:14,272
So, this from my eazy brezzy sweater pattern

47
00:01:14,272 --> 00:01:16,131
For starters, we have this mood board

48
00:01:16,131 --> 00:01:17,856
where I saved a bunch of inspo

49
00:01:17,856 --> 00:01:18,827
that I liked.

50
00:01:18,827 --> 00:01:20,910
Then I have a materials board

51
00:01:20,910 --> 00:01:22,542
This is where I put together some

52
00:01:22,542 --> 00:01:24,045
color combos I liked from

53
00:01:24,045 --> 00:01:25,254
my own yarn stash.

54
00:01:25,254 --> 00:01:26,903
Uhh, we have a to-do list,

55
00:01:26,903 --> 00:01:28,505
the pattern release timeline,

56
00:01:28,505 --> 00:01:30,098
this diagram and measurements board

57
00:01:30,098 --> 00:01:32,022
is just like a brain dump of all

58
00:01:32,022 --> 00:01:34,112
the digital and physical sketches that I made
