🌲 “I've been craving a simple scarf. The kind you learn when you pick up your first pair of knitting needles, Wool Ease Thick and Quick plush between your fingers. I think Autumn has this way about it that makes me want to go back to the basics. “ Read More on Twining Necklaces.

🌲New on Twining Necklaces: Sweaters remind me of Civil Wars (the band) country. Old browning volumes of Flannery O'Connor. One Hundred Year Old libraries. Bucolic farm lands redolent with rain. Brontë strolls through mists. Of hands now wrinkled with age stranding Autumn into yoke sweaters, passing it down down down. That vintage varsity jumper teeming with spirit. A noun for keeping warm.

When you're writing about all the reasons you love Guardians of the Galaxy for the blog and you realize it's almost 1000 words. That word counts got to go, but I'm giggling right now. Just saying. #guardiansofthegalaxy #twiningnecklaces
It's been a ponderous Sunday, thinking about Twining and the reason I blog. When I started around 10 years ago, I definitely had the idea that my blog would be a visual "junk" travelers notebook of inspirations, and moments to remember, memories, books, Devotions to God, writing inspiration, etc. I wanted a place where I could write about things I love, whilst refining my writing, and compiling a cabinet of curiosities. Over the years, I've certainly jumped around, thinking if I wanted to be serious, I had to emulate the bloggers that were more successful. This can be good in terms of growing an audience and releasing quality content. But I think what can happen along the way is that you forget the reason why you could write content hours into the night, and trade this for views and likes and analytics, and the one view of yourself that maybe aesthetically pleasing but is not the whole. At least this is what's happened to me. Thankfully, I feel quite at home with Twining Necklaces, and I don't want to really change so much of my purpose for it. But I want to make sure that I am being purposeful. That I'm not shoving consumerism down people's throats, that I'm not making anyone feel like they can only show one picture of themselves. I think on insta I'm very much the romantic dreamer, knitting vintage bibliophile, and I love that side of myself. But I want to learn to love the sides of myself that you never see, and be confident enough to be that on my blog when I'm having that kind of day. I hope to inspire people as much in self love, and intimacy with God and confidence, as much as I hope the same for knitting or style or books. I've said all this to say, I want authenticity over views and reads and subscribers. I know that state of blogging or even vlogging has definitely changed since I started, and maybe that's great. We can get back to being ourselves again, and if somehow God allows it to grant me opportunities for career progression, then wonderful. I keep saying I'll get my YouTube going again to compliment Twining. We'll see what happens, but this has been a heartfelt post. #blogging #heartfeltblogging #blog #twiningnecklaces

Next Chapter in Twining Necklaces: I meander a little on knitting a sweater, more specifically @quinceandco's Agnes Sweater. I'm thinking I'll take the plunge sometime and knit this. Any other knitter buds out there wanna make a monthly knit along of it?

Braid forming for the headband. Cables will never not be satisfying. #knitting #knittersofinstagram #TwiningNecklaces #cables
