Two Turtle Doves, podcasting and knitting.

Hi everyone, thankyou to everyone who commented on my giveaway in the last post, I am so glad you liked it, there is still time to enter here, the giveaway does not close until September 18th 2016. 

As you can see I have been doing more Christmas cross stitching, I finally got around to stitching the second ornament in the Twelve Days of Christmas cross stitch design by Sue Hillis, the first ornament I blogged about in a previous post here . I am hoping to get all twelve ornaments done for Christmas, mmmm, fingers crossed.
I was going to photograph them both together but I seem to have lost the first ornie!!! No clue where it is, I know it will be in my craft room somewhere but I just cannot seem to find it at the moment! Lol…  
Podcasts,  knitting and crochet
I have recently started watching podcasts on You Tube and I love them! They are so informative and it is so nice to see the lovely things that people have made, mmmm I may get brave one day and do one of my own but I have to admit I am camera shy so I am not sure,  maybe I can just show my hands with cross stitch in them!  
The crochet and knitting podcasts have certainly inspired me to start doing some crochet  and knitting again, I did start a lovely crochet pillow a couple of years ago but I got stuck on the finishing, I really need to try and get it finished soon. 
I have also just ordered some yarn to knit a cowl, now I don’t normally pay much for yarn but I just could not resist buying this gorgeous Rowan yarn    from the Wool Warehouse. I love looking at Rowan patterns and have always promised myself that one day I would treat myself to some really gorgeous wool from them, so now the time has finally arrived. 
I chose misty blue to compliment a navy coat I wear in winter, I only needed two balls, I can’t wait to start knitting!
    
I added Mill Hill seed beads around the edge which is how I am going to finish all of them.
I love the colours in this

Until next time, happy stitching!
Best Wishes and Happy Stitching.

    Your ornament is beautiful – the beads are the perfect finishing touch. I can't wait to see all twelve. Podcasts are something new to me – guess I need to check them out. Are they different from a U tube video?? Guess I need to get with it!!

    Hi, Lynn! Your turtle doves are gorgeous. I understand about losing things in your craft room or studio I do it all the time…. Things eventually turn up as I'm sure your ornament will. I will have to take a look at some of the Podcasts you mentioned they sound interesting.
    Hugs

    Gorgeous finish Lynn! I love how your Handmade with Love trinket is hung from the bottom of the ornament. Just perfect!

    I've never knit with Rowan yarn either but I hear it's wonderful! What knitting podcasts do you love? Have you found flosstube?

    I love your ornament – the beads and type on the back make it a really special finish.
    I like watching FlossTube but no way would I ever dare do it myself!
    Your yarn sounds lovely, I hope you'll share your progress!

    Love your two turtle dovews, it's beautiful, all the ornaments together will be beautiful. I have been watching and listening to podcasts also and loving them . They are so inspiring. I would love to see you on a podcast Lynn. You would have a lot to share in your programme. I knit while looking and listening:)

    Hi Lynn B! Oh what an enabler you are…because of this picture and a couple others I have seen posted in various FB group pages, I had to go and buy this chart! Bad, bad, bad.

    All kidding aside, I love your beading and charm. Nicely done.

    how do you put those little beads around the edge? Is each one hand stitched? I love how you finish your cross stitch but don't understand the "how" of it.
