One mitten knit from the dudleyspinner yarn. I don't like the shape of the top, so I'm going to rip it out and redo it.

I knit the mitten from the top down, starting it like a pair of socks with the figure eight cast-on. On my first try (pictured in the last entry), the tip was too pointy. On the attempt pictured here, it's too rounded.

The benefit of the tweaking? I'm going to write up the pattern (in detail) for knitting these top down. It's a nice way to make mittens and I like the way the top side of the thumb joins the body (like this pair)

A box of supplies arrived last week from ProChemical:

This will account for lots of dyeing fun scheduled for the coming months.

Dog Stuff
This past weekend I attended a puppy agility camp with Ellie. It was amazing. We learned so much and have a ton of things to work on to prepare for doing real agility work. I think the techniques and exercises that we learned will also help Katy as well. Maybe even rebuild her enthusiasm for the sport! Though, lucky Katy will be learning how to do sheep-herding in May. She'll have her herding instincts tested and learn some of the basics involved in working around stock - it should be very interesting.
