AAW SingleCable Socks No4

 
I designed and knit new pair of single cable socks. They are fabulous knee length. I used our own ArcticAngoraWool AAW for the socks. AAW consist of 50% our own ethic produced arctic angora wool, 40% ethic produced FinnSheep wool and 10% nylon (100g = 238m).

Dog in suit

This time the sterilization became the destiny of Pii. She was in the surgery 2 weeks ago. Despite she is pure bred Alaskan Malamute the reasons for the sterilization are the same as with Nuka. Like Nuka, Pii is a working dog. That's why we had her, not to breed puppies.

Pii's surgery and postoperative hours & days were so much easier than Nuka's. So many things have changed since Nuka's strelilization, or even Nuka's dog attack. Modern veterinary has arrived also here. Pii was taken home awake with better pain killers. Her physical fitness has been so much better than other's when fixed. We actually have been training Pii for this occasion. This was her first "physical test".

It took so much patience from Nuka to stand all the fuss and especially too active Pii who wanted to play and had no feeling of sickness. But because Nuka is well behaving dog she obied us and didn't go with the flow. 

Most of the time Pii was able to use the special after-surgery suit. Unfortunately it must wash and dried few times. On those moments Pii used her own bucket. She was a bit upset with it but as soon as she noticed she still can do the most important task, she calmed down. She is excellent dishwasher.

On the video you can see how happy Pii runs free for the 1st time after the surgery. What is the most important in this all "running free fuss" is the command "palaa" which I say on the begin of the video. It means "return". It means where ever she is or intend to go, she needs to turn around and come back to us. It is great to notice, despite she's been like ticking overloaded catastrophe with all the unused energy because of her sick leave, she still has her ears on her head and she hears it all what we say.

Pii has learnt the return command already as a puppy. She knows the wilderness is filled with boogeymen and beasts. She has learnt to return without any treats. To her that word means we are about to leave no matter where she is. She doesn't want to be left behind or alone. She knows it is the rule for it that she can run free. She must obey, not in a moment, not tomorrow, she needs to obey N O W. 

Never set you dog free if you are not 120% sure she obeys you and you can catch her/him when ever needed.

Feather

 

If you remember I have a book called Made In France (by Agnes Delage-Calvet, Anne Sohier-Fournel, Muriel Brunet and Francoise Ritz). Now I've stitched one more bookmark from its designs.

I love the spirit of the book. Its simple one-shade designs are multi-usable. I let my imagination fly and decorated the bookmark by silk ribbons and beads to create a native spirit of my own. This feather bookmark flies far away, across the oceans to salute a friend. Hopefully it presents the original cross stitch design in respectful way.

KnittedGloves No3

I designed and knit the 3rd pair of white knitted gloves. The yarn is 100% wool. I used single cables to decorate and keep these gloves in fit.Knitting gloves demands a bit patience but I find it charming. I find knitting gloves similar compared to embroidery. Sometimes it just flows on and then there are parts where you need to pay a lot of attention and concentrate.
