Canned Vegetable Salad

1 can (16 ounce size) green beans, (lengthwise cut), drained
1 can (8 1/2 ounce size) peas, drained
2 ounces pimientos, chopped
4 stalks celery, chopped

DIRECTIONS:

Combine corn, green beans, pimiento, celery, green pepper, and onion in a large bowl, tossing lightly. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour. Combine vinegar, oil, water, and sugar; mix well. You can use any kind of vinegar, I prefer red wine. Pour over vegetable mixture. Cover and refrigerate at least 24 hours. Drain and serve in a lettuce-lined bowl.

Some New Bling for Needlepointers.

Since we like to have pretty tools to make our stitching more of a pleasure we have…

…and counted thread stitch markers.

 

Finished Objects

Margaret knit this sweater of her own design using Cascade 220. Isn’t it beautiful?

 

 

Judy finished her second sweater.  She knit it with Tiny Tots yarn.  Nice job, Judy.

 

Our new friend, Kristy hung out with us while visiting the area.  While she was in Mississippi, she finished her Omelet, so as an honorary Knotty Knitter, we are putting her finished object here for you to enjoy.

 

Sue finished a baby blanket using Tiny Tots as well.

 

Ann’s Virgin Mary stand-up came back from the finisher this week.
