Fiber Fool

It is finally starting to feel more like the holiday season. I don’t know if it was the batch of saffronsbullar I made up last week that flipped a switch or our increase in holiday movie watching. Whatever the cause, I’m glad the holiday spirit has hit! Due to this new holiday spirit much of my linkity will be gifting related.

This week I need to make granola, can some cranberry jam and maybe pear butter if I can find the time. That is after hosting my knitting group tonight who are going to once again be guinea pigs on a couple new recipes :-) Other than that, I think we’re ready for the holiday. How about you? What’s on your to-do list for this week?
