Lots of news

Lots has happened since I wrote last.

Last weekend, on Saturday, we went to a Shiba Inu-meeting/get-together/picnic, it was great. I sold raffle-tickets, and bought some as well. I won some useful stuff.
Gin got to meet his mom as well as his breeders and the people we had as teachers for our puppy-class this spring.
Bea got to lay in the sun for as long as she wanted, and they both got to meet lots of other Shibas which I think they enjoyed.
Here's a pic of Bea in the sun.



On Sunday I went to Kolmården with some Shiba-friends to meet the wolves.
They have a couple of groups of socialized wolves that they use for wolf-encounters. That means you get to go in to the pen with the wolves. It was a wonderful experience and I will go again as soon as I get a chance!
The alpha-male and female decided that my hair was either smelling really nice or wasn't dirty enough. I think I'll just let the photos Susann took say the rest :D

The next couple of wolf-photos are taken by Susann.





I took a few photos my self as well, here they are.






I also had my birthday this week. I got some really nice presents. From Roger I got Doctor Who season 1 and five of Wendy Johnson's sock-patterns. From my parents I got enough yarn (Dream in Colour Smooshy Chinatown Apple) to knit Wendy's Order to Chaos circular shawl. And some training-mats to use for blocking lace. From 2 of my sisters I got shower-stuff from Lush, some of it pictured here along with some Scrubbies I made today. And from my father-in-law and his girlfriend I got some nice Kauni Effekt-yarn that I will use for a triangular shawl I think.


I also finished mom's socks this weekend. She loves them and apparently they fit perfectly :D

Whew! That was a long post.
Goodnight!

Socks and hat

I'm done with the first of mum's socks and almost finished with the increases on the second sock.
In between the socks I finished a hat I started for my self this winter. I havn't got any photos yet but it will come...soon I think. Not sure when.
Not feeling to good right now, hot and cold at the same time, my throath seems a bit scratchy and I've had a massive headache all day(but that's probably since I didn't drink enough water, or fluids at all, yesterday). Drinking tea with honey now hoping it will help.
