BlanketNo10 (revontulet)

I have crocheted one more BlanketNo10. I was inspired by the May 2024 Aurora Borealis that were seen all over the Europe and California in 10.-11.5.2024. I started this blanket right after that. I was especially happy for the people who had never before had a change to see this magical phenomenon!  

It is much lighter than the actual BlanketNo10 but follows the same idea just like BlanketNo10 (brown) and BlanketNo10 (berry porridge). Because this one is not as thick, you can use this one also as a shawl during the cold wintry weathers if you need to go out. For this one I used the same yarn than I used for OfficeLadyPoncho. It is House Kuvio yarn (85% acrylic, 10% wool, 5% mohair) (100g = 542m). The yarn has the variegated shades so it makes stripes. It all appears differently depending on it which way you go: back and fort or just around all the time like I did with BlanketNo10 to form out one huge GrannySquare.

It is very easy way to crochet a colorful square blanket just from one ball of yarn. The colors just form out without trouble or thinking and they all be set in unique and individual way. Just like The Northern Lights which never are the same. From here you can read about The Northern Lights in my culture and why we call them "revontulet" = fires of fox.

I am sure you want to see her so just add an extra photo. Dear beloved Nuka is having a holiday season. No hunting, no physical exercising. Just sniffing around the village. This is a heat weave we can't stand (+23 C). But we don't complain because it feels like a Mediterranean holidays at 90's.

On the pic above you can see Nuka's throat and neck area. It looks like a bit weird because of the dog attack she survived in 2019. She was bite very badly straight into her throat and it needed two men to get the attacker off by opening its jaws by a human force. Nuka is 9 yrs now. Yesterday a worker man who needed to step in our property asked are my dogs nice dogs. Both dogs were howling and barking like mad. I replied: "Don't they always are?" I had put the dogs on the terrace deck behind the gate and was in the garden with the worker.  He looked at me and seemed not to believe a word. I have 2 m high fence around the garden because of the dogs. But that is mainly to keep the stupid people out. My dogs can behave but all the humans can't. 

It's been 5 years now from the dog attack Nuka faced. Her rehabilitation was succeed. The only difference in her spirit is that she doesn't question. And we can't blame on her about that. It means that she is not an aggressive dog. She never starts a rampage, simply never. But when she has a reason, she is ready to fight for our lives 'til the end. She fears nothing, not even bears. You simply can't frighten her. But because of her experience she knows where it leads to so immediately when she gets a reason (open aggressive signal) she is ready to defend. Even on that moment she is under the control of  humans. That proves she does it on purpose and it is not just a primitive reaction.

What Pii has learnt from her is that dear Pii doesn't accept any kind of bad behavior from anyone. She comments immediately by her malamute howling if someone is acting against the rules, like walking on the wrong side of the street! 😂 Also that proves Nuka's behavior is planned and expedient instead of primitive. It follows certain pattern and Pii has not learn to be aggressive, she has learnt to be natural Alaskan malamute who is naturally a bit obsessed on rules.😍
