Some Days Are Good

Finished the Amanda Hat by Gina House last night. This photo is not showing the beautiful colors or yarn of Noro Silk Garden very well. The problem could be with the dark and gloomy, wet and windy weather we have going on outside. I found this pattern from my Ravelry friend Monika. This hat knits up fast and its fun too.

The furnace died yesterday so I have been sitting in a house with no heat other than the small space heater that my husband bought yesterday to keep us sort of warm. A house that is 4000 sf is really hard to heat with one small space heater! I have it now in the bathroom heating it up so I can go and take a shower when the room gets nice and toasty...unfortunately, where I am now is not in that warm room but here freezing at my computer. My fingers are stiff. The repair man is coming between 2 and 4PM today, I hope. The weather is really bad, flooding, etc. I really hope he doesn't call with bad news of not being able to make it here!!!! and worst, hope the power doesn't go out.
I am still cruising along on Alex by Debbie Bliss. The collar is taking longer than I had expected...lots of short rows.
I am just too cold to sit here any more...off to the shower!
