Yes that’s right Jasmine is back for an “In the tins”! Today we talk about many things including the craft market “Crafternoon Tea” where we offloaded some of our money earlier in the day. We chat about cupcakes, small cakes and butterfly cakes (recipe will be on the recipe pages..!) We were also wondering why cupcakes that have sultanas (from the Edmonds cookbook) are called Queen cakes – well when editing I had a brainwave that it was because Sultana is also a name for the wife of a Sultan – so essentially a Queen!
First off though I chat about what I’ve been up to in the past couple of weeks including some updates about what is happening with Grannyg on the web. First the website updates, how you can print the recipes which you’ll find on the recipe pages. Secondly, how there will be ongoing blog posts outside of the regular show notes including occasional guest posts. Thirdly, come and join our flickr group where you can share photos of your gorgeous baking!
The knitting is focused mainly on getting my teaching notes done for Knit August Nights, Vine Yolk is all but forgotten at the moment..

Sewing, I discuss what’s been happening at the machines!
This week we have a “What’s on my nightstand?” Well I’ve recently bought a book – “Blendy knits socks” and didn’t love it much at all but here are some links to books which are worth spending your money on;
That’s it for this week, don’t forget to keep checking back here for extra blog posts throughout the week,

So you know, I’m happy to be a taste tester. I can even bring my own tin…
