Alpaca and puppies

It's cold outside. Luckily, I made an extremely soft, colorful cowl from Misti Alpaca.

The yarn is handpainted and chunky. Pretty and warm. Yay!

Speaking of soft and cuddly, meet my mother-in-law's new puppy, Sophie (from the Animal Rescue League).

Sophie is such a sweet, loving dog. She seems to like me in particular. I think we'll get along well.

Cheese!
