Got any good chutney recipes spinkle? I bought a preserving book but haven't decided which to make yet.  Ooh Xmas crochet bits sounds fun. Seen some nice snowflake patterns I might make to hang about. Will need to get some sparkly wool for that!

spinkle
I've had loads of green tomatoes this year so I looked up a recipe online - some smallholder blog I think. Then I jazzed it up with chillies, dried apricots and used cider vinegar. It's proper tangy and hot and scrumptious with a bit of cheddar. So I'd say use a recipe and then tweak it to your personal taste. Makes your kitchen stink for a bit though. Never used sparkly wool, is it quite scratchy? |

I have received a fabulous parcel of yarn. Thanks, Nicki It's shiny and metallic looking but soft as silk, and Tink wants to knit herself a hat with it. I have warned her that her first project will be a patch for a string vest. |

I've got a spiced damson chutney recipe I intend to make this weekend. Off the internet somewhere! Mini2 has taken a liking to the flower scarf, I might make myself one in a more neutral colour and let her borrow it. She wants to learn to crochet, she's trying a dc sample, but has managed to skip 3 stitches (out of 12!). Which makes a change from knitting where she tends to inadvertently increase. |

I have a million and one projecs going on downstairs in my craft room and I need to pack it all up soon to move house
