White Caps PDF Pattern Available

Freshly listed! My White Caps PDF knitting pattern.

The White Caps Fingerless Gloves are the ideal thing for keeping hands warm for people on the go. Whether you are outside enjoying the crisp winter air, going for a walk, or lugging firewood, these puppies will keep your hands plenty toasty!
They feature simplistic cables and a stitch pattern that reminds me of the waves crashing in on P.E.I's south shore.

New Cam :-)

My new camera arrived this week and I've been having tons of fun taking pictures on our walks. Here are a few (of the many, many, many pics!) that I've taken over the past few days:

I'm working my way through the instruction manuals for the camera itself as well as the software and picking up all sorts of fun tips and tricks. This should keep me busy this fall!

Swamp Alligators

This was an excellent year for cucumbers in our garden! We grew a new type....bush cucumbers. They were really low growing plants and much smaller than they types we grew in previous years but what they lacked in size, they made up for in production! From the four small plants that we grew, we harvested a heaping laundry basket full of cucumbers.
We gave some away to friends and family, ate lots (mmmm! cucumber sandwiches!), and the rest, along with our own dill, went into making Swamp Alligators.....super sour dill pickles from my mother-in-law's recipe. The only problem now is trying to stay out of them so that we have some left for over the winter.

Awesome Yard Sale Find

It is 3' tall and perfect for keeping my yarn stash safe from little fingers!
