Wonderful!

My Forest Canopy Shawl is finished and I have the picture to prove it =D

Finished!

Yay! I finished my Forest Canopy Shawl tonight! I'm going to block it tomorrow and take some photos of it to show you.

I've been working a lot lately and that's why I havn't updated my blog.

Clear up...

Maybe I should clear something up. It's not my dog that was put down on monday. It was a friends.

Sadly another shiba-girl we know got put down today as well after a period of illness :(

Sweet little Dowa stole my heart the first time she tried to bite my arm...she was 6 weeks old when I met her and her mouth definatley couldn't reach around my arm.

So today we honour bot Umai and Dowa and we will keep your memory in our hearts forever.

Rest in peace

Today we light a candle in honour of the magnificent Umai av Enerhaugen who sadly passed over the rainbowbridge today after a period of illness. She was a great Shiba Inu and will live on in her children and grandchildren.

Yarn!

When I got home today my yarn for the Halloween Myster Shawl was waiting for me! Hooray!
It's so beautiful!
And I should get the beads for the shawl tomorrow and maybe even the needles I need.
Right now I'm terrified of winding this wonderful yarn into a ball though.

The yarn is Zen Yarn Gardens Bellisimo Lace made of 70% Alpaca 20% Silk and 10% Cashmere in the colour Midnight Velvet. It's a skein of approx. 100 g or 1300 yards.

Feeling better

I'm feeling better today, at least enough to go to work tomorrow, don't want to miss another day of double money.

I went yarn-shopping today. Hunting for the perfect yarn-combo for my first Pratchgan-square. I didn't get the perfect purple yarn I found but I'm going to use two other yarns instead trying to make it a bit sparkly =) I already have fluffy green and fluffy orange and I got some fluffy Yellow today as well =) I'm gonna do a swatch of them tomorrow.

It feels like my Forest Canopy Shawl (FCS) is an endless project, even though I only have 16 rows left right now. Might be able to do 2 rows before bedtime tonight though. And a couple more tomorrow.

Goal for tomorrow: Finish last body pattern repeat of Forest Canopy Shawl! If I do two rows tonight I only have four left for tomorrow. And then I can start with the edge.

Bea is the best dog ever. All cuddly with me when I was feeling sick yesterday. Not complainen at all about the really short walks around the medow. Here's a pic of her when we were out walking earlier this week. For some reason I can't seem to get her to stand up in front of the camera :/

Know I'm gonna go knit on my FCS! And then go to bed.

Nite nite!

Sick

Been sick all day long. :/
Didn't even have the energy to knit :( I did manage to make some stichmarkers though. A jumpring, a bead and some superglue and voilá!

And tomorrow the first clue for the Halloween Mystery Shawl -08 gets released, yay! I havn't gotten my yarn yet but I can always use my extra time for bead-hunting and making sure I understand the pattern =)

At last...

I finally decided to create my own blog.
So here it is.
I will be writing about my life, my Shiba Inu Bea and my knitting.
