Yes, you can thank me, If you live in Pittsburgh.That box on the left, is a heat pump. We lost our heat last week. Our furnace, was on its last leg. We had space heaters throughout the house.
And you remember what last week was like here in Southwest PA. Like the picture on the right....
Today after the first, yes we need two!!!, heat pumps was installed the temps went from 3 degrees to .........50 plus degrees. Yes it had to be Karma? Murphy's law? Or just my kinda luck... Whatever the reason, it is absolutely beautiful here. So there is no need for the heater or air conditioning. But that's OK. I am sure more bad weather is not to far away. And this is just a little joke that mother nature is playing on me.
In knitting , I once again find myself praying for healing. I am making yet another prayer Shawl. For yet another co-worker, who finds herself with stage one breast cancer. Her outcome is very good! We are all very hopeful.
I ask, are you like me. Do you go to buy yarn with this person on your mind. You have colors you are thinking of, for them. then you get there and something
pulls you to something totally different. And you succumb to the need to buy the yarn that was not in your mind, but what you need to buy. I make it, and give it and the recipient, and they always tell me, always, That is their favorite color! Wow, the power of prayer. I am always thinking and praying for that person.
The shawl is my own creation. Size 15 needles, cast on 124 stitches and 4 different yarns. There is no reason for the pattern, just as many rows as I like, then I change and continue till I feel I am half way, then mirror the pattern. Nothing to complicated, that way I can pray while I knit.
Well, it is early afternoon and the hubster and myself are running errands and then getting spaghetti dinners from the boy scouts. One of my students has been selling them to me since he was in 6th grade. He is now in his final year at middle school, and I will miss him next year!
I am sure he will come see me with tickets. LOL.
SO, if you are in the burgh, you are welcome for this beautiful SUNDAY... enjoy it, it is a gift.
Keep knitting
