Every once in a while we’ll see our lovely cat embedded in some aspect of our lives. It’s difficult not to yell out, “Finny!”

Finny Underfoot

Sometimes he’s waiting to trip us and send us flying down the stairs. At other times he’s “helping” me with my spinning. I might suggest it’s finding a nice bedding spot in my roving, but Finn says it’s helping.

Either way, Finn has been with us for a long time now. It’s been over 13 years. We’re not sure how old he is but Thaddeus guesstimates that he’s about 17 or 18 years old. He’s still a delight every day. I know I don’t post a ton of photos of our beautiful boy. But you’ll note that I post even fewer of my other beautiful boy.

Current Spinning/Knitting

With Finn’s help, I’ve been able to almost finish spinning the Black Bunny Fibers roving.

I’m enjoying working with this vibrant colorway that Carol Sulcoski called Art Nouveau.

I also made some slow progress on the second sock.

The two socks won’t match because uh…handspun. But they’ll be similar enough that I’ll enjoy wearing them as a pair.
