We have HEAT, baby!

Yes, we have heat! This morning around 1:30 I woke up freezing my booty off and decided it was time to turn on the heat. When I flipped the switch, nothing...nada...zilch. Being 1:30 am I refused to go outside in the 30 degree temperatures to check the breaker and I could not find batteries to change in the controller so I added two more blankets to the bed, snuggled up to the dog and then went back to sleep.

Work was a nightmare today so I wasn't able to address the heat issue until this afternoon. Luckily, when I flipped the breaker off and then back on and went to try the heat again, the furnace kicked right in. What a relief! It is supposed to get down to 27 tonight and I don't think I could have taken it. :-)



Sock class was last night and let me tell you, I have a new found appreciation for anyone who can actually knit socks. How in the world do you hold all those needles? I had to start over three times but may be getting the hang of it. I'm trying to decide if I want to work on the computer tonight or if I want to knit. I should probably knit while I can remember what she told us, but part of me wants to just surf the net tonight.

Blessings

You are a braver woman than I am! The thought of using more than two needles or circular needles scares me. I guess that's why I stick to scarves, even though I yearn to try making a hat and mittens.

I would need to keep on knitting to make sure I have the technique down. Good thing that your furnace worked. It isn't pleasant when the temperatures drop and there isn't any heat.

In your comment, you mentioned doing encaustics work. I would love to see some examples. That sounded so cool!

Knit, for Heaven sakes Knit! If you are like me, knitting time is precious and scarce.
