Hi all


I have been lurking for the last few days, enjoying reading the thread.


Do you knit?
Have you seen the little knitted holders for Ferrero Rocher chocolates (Santa Hat, Robin and Christmas Puddings)
I have them saved in pdf format somewhere on my puter if anyone would like them, let me know)

Hope you can see the pic, been trying to remember how to insert them lol


Idk where the pattern came from, have had it for a couple of years. It is different to the ravelry pattern,

This seems to be the pattern for them.

Thanks for the links to the knitting patterns.

Just popped into tesco and they are selling individual christmas and chocolate puddings £1.20 each but on buy one get one free. The Christmas puddings are a good buy for us as we don't all like it and those that do only want a very small portion.

Polly

Oops sorry, the Christmas puds are£1.50 the choc puds £1.20

psso

Have you tried the puds,are they nice ?

I ask because I bought some last year,can't remember which s'market, and they tasted really plastic-y. Not nice at all. Luckily we had them in early December and changed the menu for Christmas.

pollys

No, not tried them. They have been put away for Christmas Day. They have a long date on them. Hopefully they will be good.

I'm trying to do hampers for the adults this year as we're a bit tight financially.
I've got some sloes in the freezer amd want to do slow vodka. Does anyone have any good recipes? Also, I have a ton of tomatoes from my allotment. I've turned a fair few into passata for use at home. I want to do some as 'sun dried' in the oven. Does anyone have any tips with that? They will be given as gifts.
Thanks in advance
