🧶Less or, more and
BY SHELLEY BRANDER
My dear, wise friend GG said something in a recent YouTube video that I almost missed, it went by so fast. But it was profound, and I can’t get it out of my head.
She said the world needs “less or, more and.”
Her point was that we should stop judging others (and ourselves)…stop asserting that one thing is better than another.
Multiple WIPS or project monogamy
Metal needles or plastic
Wool or acrylic
Knit or crochet
Here’s the thing: If you’re making stitches, you’re one of us.
We are all together in this thriving world of craft and community.
It’s simple, and it’s powerful.
Thank you for being here. Thank you for being so beautifully you. 💕
As a small token of my gratitude, I thought I’d put all five livestreams from last week on YouTube to share with you (for free of course). There was so much joy and creativity offered in these 30-minute sessions with the Stars of our upcoming Season of Genius. I think you’ll find them lovely to knit or crochet to this week.
