Jam and yarn

The bramble season is extremely good this year and I've been picking a lot.

My freezer is small so I have to do something with all these goodies nature gives us. I've made an apple and bramble crumble (and will make another one on Saturday) and jam (bramble and bramble/raspberry).

This summer I made jam, probably a bit more than usual, so I decided to count my stock so I know what's in my cupboard:

Flavour	Number of jars
Bramble	31
Raspberry	17
Strawberry	15
Blueberry	9
Yellow raspberry	7
Plum	5
Blueberry/Raspberry	11
Bramble/Raspberry	11
Yellow raspberry/Banana	4
Total	110

and this does not include all the jars I've already given, which is about 30 I think.
I can't eat all that in a year but I trade it against lift to/from work/knitting shop, barley flour, knitting pattern....etc... :o)

On the knitting front, things are a bit slow at the moment but my stash I've grown again! I bought some Katia linen (£2/Ball, a bargain!) to knit a nice summer cardigan (from Interweave) and some Freedom spirit yarn (it was to make it up to £40 so I wouldn't pay for shipping).
