Pre-Crimble goodies

On Bronte Old road this week we've been preparing for the festive season with a few fairly unsuccsessful shopping trips, some heavy duty knitting and a bountyful chutney making session. Planning seasonal meals is occupying most of my brain space and some Christmas card making is, well, on the cards. Adam is knitting a stripy scarf for John and a chunky Freedom wool scarf for his Secret Santa at work, I'm working on a spotty/stripey jumper for a twin.
