A CUCUMBER BAG & A RECIPE

If you've never experienced
the joy of accomplishing more
 than you can imagine, plant
a garden....

~Robert Brault


....and learn to knit.

I completed my  cucumber bag,
and am already using it.  It
was nice to mindlessly knit
something that turned
out to be so useful. I might
have to have one of these
on the needles at all times.

Tried this with all the fresh
cucumbers that have been
harvested. I have plans to
make it again and serve it
with toasted pita chips.

What is your favorite way to
serve cucumbers?

    Both are so lovely! Our cucumber bushes have flowers but no fruit yet. Here's hoping!

    I love the color of the bag, learning to knit is on my list of things I would want to learn.
    We aren't getting cucumbers yet, my boys favorite is cucumber bread/muffins. I make it when we have too many and keep them in the freezer for breakfasts.

    Yum...cucumbers and onions, served in vinegar with salt and pepper. My favorite summer food.

    Hurray! You finished your bag, I am a little jealous. I love cucumbers sliced up on a plate best.

    We love cucumbers here!! We make homemade dill pickles, make Japanese pickled cucumbers, and eat it just plain raw with salt, especially the little cukes :).

    I love your cucumber bag!! Do you have a pattern to share?I so understand the beauty of simplicity knitting! I just cranked out a couple dishcloths and it was so soothing!!

    Beautiful cucumber pics, but of course, I especially love the cucumber bag! Those colors are sublime...

    If you have horses, she will come... ;)

    Blessings, Debbie

    Beautiful, beautiful photos.
    I love your knitted cucumber bag, the colors are just so pretty.
    I love knitting, but our little kitten won't leave me alone when I do! I have a baby blanket to finish for a friend, oh dear!

    Oh man! That bag is beautiful and the yarn is so lovely! Can you remind me of the yarn you used and the needle size? I think I need one.

    The bag is gorgeous! And how fun to watch your cucumbers grow. I like eating little lemon cucumbers raw ... mmmmm
