Yes I love to Knit. Two thoughts.

1. Honestly, some pattern ideas I get in my email are just too much. I don't want to look like I'm wearing a Christmas tree skirt around my shoulders.
Notice the sixth picture in the second column.

2. Here's a handy video on how to do an icord  bind off .

The Time is Now

Okay, I'm going to try this. I've put it off long enough. I'm committing to try this for 30 days and see what happens. Never too old, right?

Does writing your own quotes qualify you as a legitimate writer?

Since I can't seem to set down and write a complete paragraph on a regular basis, I thought I'd start my writing habit by coming up with quotes that I either make up (I think I'm the author anyway) or quotes from others that I really like.
Here's my first.

I wish knitting would keep my fingers busy enough to avoid the cookie jar.

Take your job seriously; not yourself.

I know a little bit about a whole lot and a whole lot about very little.

Fishing for compliments will always get you a few, but don't count on a whole string.

Running from your troubles is a never-ending marathon.

One should set goals, but it is just as important to enjoy the journey.

My first attempt at knitting a Moebius

I made my fist moebius using the following link:  CAT BORDHI - Intro to Moebius Knitting 

I was too impatient to make it any bigger, so it looks more like jewelry than a scarf. However, I really like it.

What To Do With Those Pesky Cucumbers

Okay, I really like cucumbers, and I really like Armenian cucumbers, but what do you do when the cucumber crop gets out of hand. I try to share with as many friends as possible, but not everyone likes them. I really don't want to make pickles because I'm just too lazy to gather all the equipment needed and I'm just too lazy to spend the time doing it.  However, I have come up with a few ideas; some original and some not:

1. slice the cucumbers and pour Hendrickson's Original Sweet Vinegar & Olive Oil over them. Let set for an hour and then enjoy. This dressing is delicious and it is also fat free, preservative free, and gluten free..
2. chunk the cucumbers with some fresh chopped tomatoes and add a little salt, pepper, and just a tad of sugar. This is a very good lettuce-less salad. 
3. use the slice cucumbers to put on your favorite sandwich. I put it on my bacon and tomato sandwich today, and it was very tasty.

I think I could eat cucumbers on just about any sandwich.
That big honkin' green thing around the plate is an
Armenian cucumber. They are very crisp and have
fewer seeds than the traditional.

4. replace crackers with cucumber slices when you want a cheese and cracker snack. I found the Laughing Cow Lite French Onion flavor is really good with cucumber slices.

These are just a few ideas I've tried and have found to be pretty tasty. If you know of others, please leave a comment. I need all the help I can get doing something with Those Pesky Cucumbers.
