Finn seems to have a second-sense about when I’m going to be away. I hadn’t started packing when he started getting all needy and was disallowing me from knitting.

The Disallowing Knitting Kitten

I hadn’t started packing anything. The luggage and dopp kits hadn’t been taken out of hiding. I hadn’t started piling up boxes of stuff to pack into the car. But somehow Finn just seems to know.

This morning I’ll be heading up to Albany, NY to get a mani/pedi and pick up one of the early attendees at Albany airport. So I do have a ton of boxes all stacked up ready to go into the back of my car. And I do have out my luggage and dopp kit to pack for a week away from home…and Finn…and Thaddeus.

I can’t wait. But Finn will have to wait until I get back on Sunday for his daily brushing and attention.

As much as I LOVE being at Easton Mountain for the Men’s Knitting Retreats, I do get a little homesick at the end of the week away.

Current Knitting

With feline interference, I haven’t made quite as much progress as I’d have hoped on the Sweet Surrender-inspired top. But I have finished two stripe-sections and I’m liking it so far.

It’s just a tube of fabric at the moment. But it’s really nice fabric! We’ll see if the retreat is a bigger distraction than Finn when it comes to my knitting.
