Bishopstone yarns, episode 19

 Episode 19 of Bishopstone yarns podcast is now up on youtube.

What have I been up to in the past week. 

The weather here has been cold and we have had some fantastic fog covering the area. I guess winter is here and letting us know. This makes it perfect knitting weather but not so good for me to sew as my sewing area doesnt have any heating. BRRRRRRRRRRR. Not at all inviting for sewing my quilt blocks.

I hope everyone is keeping warm, not too warm for those in the northern hemisphere. Keep crafting and enjoying what you make.

Easter knitting #knittingpodcast

I wish everyone a happy Easter and hope you found some time to sit and relax with a bit of crafting.

I have knitted a few chickens from my handspun yarn to add to my Easter flock. 

I always had an Easter display starting from when the children were small. I used to display their Easter craft to create a display but as the years have gone by some of the pieces were looking a little sad and old so I decided to update a little, starting with some knitted chickens. 

Next year I hope to add some cross stitched pieces to my display but there are so many to choose from I dont know which one to choose first. 

Do you make a display for Easter and do you have any favourite hand made patterns you love to use? I would love to hear what you have made.

I have been knitting up these little birds to add to my Easter display.  I used some of my left over handspun yarn that I had dyed using landscape dyes. 

I hope everyone has a relaxing and safe Easter break.
