Still Knitting and Spinning

Although there has been a super cute interruption around here, I am still knitting and spinning!  Over the weekend I finished the fifth bobbin of Raspberry singles spinning.  This means I've got one more bobbin like these, and then three final bobbins that will each be about half as full.  I'm getting there!

Newton has seen the spinning wheel in action when Mickael brought him into the room where I was spinning.  (He doesn't have full run of the house yet.)  He was only allowed to watch and Mickael didn't set him down, but judging from the size of his eyes, he's really fascinated by it. 

I also finished the eighth block in Caleb's Sherlock Blanket, Tavistock Hollow.  I finished this a week or so ago and have actually started the ninth block, but it feels like it's taking forever to knit.  I have no idea why, and it might not be true in reality, but it feels like I just knit and knit and knit and get nowhere.

Since little Newton doesn't have full run of the house, it gives me a chance to spend some quiet time with Logan and knit or spin.  Logan enjoys getting me all to himself and I think watching me play with string makes everything feel more normal to him.  Even if he knows there is a tiny, pointy kitty who tackles doggy tails and walks all over him in the other room.  He's been an amazing big doggy brother!
