Fruit cake recipes ...  The Fanny Farmer Cookbook has a recipe for both light and dark fruit cake.

@Ruth Allan Really nice! One of the challenges with that pattern is getting a colour that really shows off the texture of the body. You nailed it! Stunning!

I just finished my Saint Lunaire Griquet using Eldon lace.  Jennifer's pattern was complicated but very easy to follow.  I love how the stitch definition shows up so well on the plain col...

We have been a little undisciplined with putting up the episode threads. We aim to do better! Let's talk about fruit cakes and knitting shapes! Here are all of the shownotes from the podcast: In ...
