I have a treadle and an old Redeye that was a teadle that I am converting to a handcrank. Fortunately, knitting doesn't require electric

Something to be said for hand quilting! I can do it by candle light. Right now we are driving through AZ and it is in the 70's today. I feel for all of you where it is snowing. I lived in Upstate NY for ten years so I had my share (and someone elses) of the white stuff.

same thing with my electric this am it was off for only an hour but it felt so oooooo long with out being abel to do any thing and with my eyesight couldnt even do any hand work. lol

yes, we are so dependent upon electricity for nearly everything -- the only just gas thing that we have here is the hot water heater -- I want to have my chimney cleaned so we can use the gas sparger to have gaslogs (and cook over it in emergencies) -- the puter, microwave, range/oven, heating system and AC, lights are all electric -- if they go, we have water since our little city has generators for that system, but we just don't know how to do without

I'm thinking maybe using a treadle machine could count as exercise, also! What do you treadle users think? Can we sew and develope shapely legs? LOL

Our house, which we built almost 35 years ago, is all electric. There wasn't even a gas line in the neighborhood until several years ago. Now we wish that we would have run a line so we could have converted our fireplace to gas. The appeal of cutting our own fire wood and cleaning the mess up has long ago lost its appeal!

Great minds think alike, so we all must have great minds! I was gonna say time for atreadle too!

That's when I reach for the crochet projects that I'm constantly working on. But DH has ideas of his own if you know what I mean.

Men..................!
