<p>So, it turns out that I have two feijoa trees at the end of the yarn (you can just make one out,&#160;left, in the picture above). Now, I&#39;m still unsure how I did not notice this fact last year, but it hardly matters as I&#39;ve capitalised on it this year. </p>
<p>Since first spotting random green things on the ground beneath them a few weeks ago, I&#39;ve made two lots of <a href="http://neckredrecipes.blogspot.com/2007/05/feijoa-vodka-jam.html">Feijoa &amp; Vodka Jam</a>&#160;(not exactly following that recipe, but pretty close). </p>
<p>The verdict? Delicious! It&#39;s a little tart, a little sweet, and perfect on crumpets!</p>
<p>Jam making isn&#39;t all that I&#39;ve been up to, either. Since my last update, I&#39;ve purchased a new spinning wheel, done a little dyeing, some knitting, and been rather busy! I&#39;m sure I&#39;ll get around to providing details for those not yet in the know about those activities, eventually. ;-)</p>

<p>I&#39;m demonstrating/teaching knitting flowers later this year, so I&#39;ve been working on simple patterns to use (much easier than getting permission from designers to use and teach their designs). </p>
