My Favorite Summer Related Ideas

 

Summer is almost half way over! Time has gone by so fast! I wish I could knit faster and duplicate myself to get more projects going and done. Over the last day or so I have been cleaning around my house in order to be able to focus on more loom knit projects for the rest of the year. 

My goal is to have around 2 to 4 new videos up each month that will (hopefully) stir your creativity! I will be diving into my yarn stash and seeing what simple designs I can create for hats, blankets, bags and more! I actually miss making bags and  have been looking into bag handles for future projects. 

I thought I would list a few of my favorite items I have on my YouTube channel that might be nice for summer time: 

Summer Time Freezer Pop Cozie

Summer Poncho For Kids

The Berry Bag

Honeycomb Washcloth

Basic Headband 

Let me know if you give any of these a try! 

Have a great summer everyone! 

What Is Coming Up in January & February

Hey everyone! 

I wanted to give a glimpse into what I plan to do over the next couple months. I know I have been slacking in content and I apologize for that. Life is crazy! As of right now, here are the projects in the works:

• Adult Hat On The All In One Loom 
• Wreath Collaboration with my cousin Terri of Generically Yours (Youtube)  
• Baby Hat (Still deciding on loom)
• Painting Craft 

I'm currently sorting through my craft items, both looming and non-looming related, as I would like to expand into other crafts every now and then. It's important that you check out my "Community Tab" on the YouTube channel in order to participate in polls where you can help decide things like projects, looms and more! I will also be posting on here when I can to keep you guys updated and sharing my thoughts on crafts, yarn, and more! I can't wait to get back into filming more this year! Thank you to all that has remained loyal to me all these years! 

As some of you know, I have a second YouTube channel, Ginny's Two Cents, where I will be posting about weight loss, and book reviews along with other topics that interest me. If you would like to subscribe I would appreciate it! Thanks! You can also check out my website for it at: https://www.ginnystwocents.com/

Have a great day everyone! 

Creativity Is Not Define By Complexity

 

        Over the last few weeks I have been honestly doubting myself. Doubting my creativity because the ideas I have are...well...simple. I was unsure whether to post new videos when I felt this way. Yet, creativity isn't about complexity, never really has been for me or for my YouTube channels so WHY am I hesitating? Because negative thoughts can overpower us. They can make you feel "less than" if you are "too simple". At least that is how my thought process has been like for awhile when it came to filming. 

    But, I am starting to let negative thoughts not control me, or my creativity. I know I am not alone in feeling this way. I'm sure some of you reading this right now are dealing with it too. I put pressure on myself in areas where I don't need to. "Simple" isn't a bad word. I called my YouTube channel "Simply Intertwined" because I WANTED to keep things simple. I don't do very complex items because that, frankly, isn't me. I'm a simple person. A simple creator. And creativity isn't defined by how complex it is to make/do. 

    I like sharing how to use the same stitches to make different items because, for some, they can only handle doing simple projects, simple stitches and there is nothing wrong with that.
