Some knitting and a new family member!

I found some Noro Silk Garden Chunky on closeout at Webs and decided to knit myself up one of those cool, colorful Noro striped scarves! While some of the colors in the two different colorways blend together in spots, I am still very fond of the outcome. Here's a closeup:



And, introducing our latest addition to the family, Mia.



Mia is a 14 week old lab/shepherd puppy. We got her from a rescue group in Massachusetts that "imports" stray dogs from down south. Mia is from Tennessee and I think she is in complete and total shock going to pee and poop outside in the ice and snow. Not only that, she has been through a lot of transport and unfamiliar places in the past week, so we are giving her time and space to get used to us. She is very sweet and loves to lick hands. We think once she feels more comfortable, she will want to play more. So, hi Mia and welcome to Massachusetts!
