Horseradish!

well today is the last day of the year, so I decided to take a look at the horseradish. the chickens had scrabbled some soil away so all I had to do was pullllll and out it came - the whole root!
washed and grated it - and WOW! the fumes cleared my head, nasal passages and eyes watered and so I quickly popped it in a jar with some cider vinegar. better get on to the internet now to look for what to do with it!

Dark nights in East Anglia

Fingerless mitts...
the next part of my knitting project is to design and knit fingerless mitts to wear with the hat and scarf. I think there is just enough yarn left (I hope!) guess I will have to knit and see.
Re: the weather here - Sunday glorious sunshine and not a breath of wind then Monday FOG, FOG and more FOG...

finally finished knitting!

this project is now for all to see on the web!
I have been knitting and pattern writing and it is the first time I have uploaded one of my designs onto Ravelry. Here's a pic of the Glitzy hat and Scarf

I have used a glitzy yarn which gives the hat and scarf some golden glints. more info on Angela Mary's Knits at Ravelry knitting website
