00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.962
Okay. Hi guys! I'm very excited because

00:00:01.962 --> 00:00:05.292
today we're doing our first annual project-planning video

00:00:05.292 --> 00:00:06.965
I asked on my Instagram story

00:00:06.965 --> 00:00:08.145
if y'all would want to see this

00:00:08.145 --> 00:00:09.803
because it is going to have a lot of spoilers

00:00:09.803 --> 00:00:11.035
for what I make this year.

00:00:11.035 --> 00:00:12.453
Most of you voted yes.

00:00:12.453 --> 00:00:15.733
And I think it would be really helpful for me because

00:00:15.733 --> 00:00:17.285
I feel like the past few years

00:00:17.285 --> 00:00:19.040
the projects I make...

00:00:19.040 --> 00:00:20.430
I'm not very intentional about it.

00:00:20.430 --> 00:00:22.400
It's like, oh, I saw this inspo photo

00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:24.027
or, oh, I have this yarn

00:00:24.027 --> 00:00:25.654
And then some of the larger undertakings

00:00:25.654 --> 00:00:26.881
or more creative projects

00:00:26.881 --> 00:00:28.561
that I am very passionate about

00:00:28.561 --> 00:00:30.210
just kind of fall by the wayside.

00:00:30.210 --> 00:00:31.963
I also want to be more intentional about my yarn,

00:00:31.963 --> 00:00:33.415
because y'all have probably noticed

00:00:33.415 --> 00:00:35.391
I just buy whatever yarn I think is pretty

00:00:35.391 --> 00:00:37.438
and then find a way to use it later.

00:00:37.438 --> 00:00:38.688
But there are certain projects

00:00:38.688 --> 00:00:39.819
where I'm not gonna make it

00:00:39.819 --> 00:00:41.826
unless I have the perfect yarn for it

00:00:41.826 --> 00:00:43.063
So I kinda wanna identify

00:00:43.063 --> 00:00:44.598
the gaps in my yarn stash

00:00:44.598 --> 00:00:46.407
and make those purchases ahead of time.

00:00:46.407 --> 00:00:47.996
And I think for you guys,

00:00:47.996 --> 00:00:49.619
it would be fun to get more of a look

00:00:49.619 --> 00:00:51.954
into how I find inspo and plan my projects.

00:00:51.954 --> 00:00:53.170
Like, usually when I start a video

00:00:53.170 --> 00:00:54.369
I already know what I'm gonna make,

00:00:54.369 --> 00:00:55.627
but today we're just gonna

00:00:55.627 --> 00:00:57.574
do like a live brainstorm session

00:00:57.574 --> 00:00:59.043
so scroll through my Instagram saved

00:00:59.043 --> 00:01:00.613
my Pineterst boards

00:01:00.613 --> 00:01:01.883
and just start figuring out

00:01:01.883 --> 00:01:03.552
which projects I'm most excited about.

00:01:03.552 --> 00:01:04.500
Now if you watch my videos

00:01:04.500 --> 00:01:05.379
you can probably guess

00:01:05.379 --> 00:01:06.479
that I'm gonna be doing all of this

00:01:06.479 --> 00:01:07.888
in Milanote, which is the tool I use

00:01:07.888 --> 00:01:09.796
for pretty much all my creative project planning

00:01:09.796 --> 00:01:10.752
I can just show you some of my

00:01:10.752 --> 00:01:12.108
previous boards as an example.

00:01:12.108 --> 00:01:14.272
So, this from my eazy brezzy sweater pattern

00:01:14.272 --> 00:01:16.131
For starters, we have this mood board

00:01:16.131 --> 00:01:17.856
where I saved a bunch of inspo

00:01:17.856 --> 00:01:18.827
that I liked.

00:01:18.827 --> 00:01:20.910
Then I have a materials board

00:01:20.910 --> 00:01:22.542
This is where I put together some

00:01:22.542 --> 00:01:24.045
color combos I liked from

00:01:24.045 --> 00:01:25.254
my own yarn stash.

00:01:25.254 --> 00:01:26.903
Uhh, we have a to-do list,

00:01:26.903 --> 00:01:28.505
the pattern release timeline,

00:01:28.505 --> 00:01:30.098
this diagram and measurements board

00:01:30.098 --> 00:01:32.022
is just like a brain dump of all

00:01:32.022 --> 00:01:34.112
the digital and physical sketches that I made
