Getting back to quilting

 I thought I should stop putting it off and start making the last three blocks for my farmer's wife sampler quilt. These are not the very last three blocks from the series but they complete the number needed to make up a smaller quilt. 

After working in these for so long and starting to loose momentum I thought it would be better to try and finish a smaller quilt with the blocks I already have and have a finished quilt, rather than a whole heap of unfinished blocks just sitting around. Then I can work on the other blocks at leisure and maybe in a more appealing colour range. 

So here it is , progress is slow but it is progress.

Bishopstone yarns podcast, episode 33, #knitting podcast

 Episode 33 of the Bishopstone yarns podcast is now up on youtube for you to see.

I was a few day late getting this one out as I have been sick with covid. This made it very hard for me to talk for any length of time without coughing, but I did manage to get a video made and put up on youtube. It may be a bit shorter than usual and without an intro as well but it is a video none the less.

I must admit that I struggle a bit with getting the type of footage I would like to include in my podcasts ( I guess that is the correct name for these videos). I seem to have a lot of trouble downloading from any of my devices to my laptop, therefore I have been filming everything on my laptop. When I had a different laptop and phone I could easily and most importantly , quickly download from one to the other. Now it seems to be a huge ordeal and so it puts me off trying again. I do think I should try and work out what I am doing wrong.

I hope you enjoy my video and please leave a comment as I always love to hear what everyone else is doing and making.    

Thankyou for watching

Sit and spin 32, #spinningpodcast

 Bishopstone yarns, sit and spin episode 32 is now up on youtube for you to watch. I have finished my Birkin from my handspun and try to decide which colour to spin up next to ply with my black merino silk. I am having trouble deciding which colour would be best to use with such a dark single.

Sometimes it can be the small decisions that hold up a project for the longest time. Even though I am keen to start spinning on my next lot of singles I am finding it hard to make a decision about the best colour to add to my singles. I dont want to end up with a barber pole effect for this spinning project so making the right choice is important.

Maybe you have some suggestions for me. I am feeling like I need to start a new spinning project while I decide what to do.
