A new picture of the mittens made with the yarn spun from my dudleyspinner roving. Two mittens. Almost completed. When I knit a pair of mittens from the top down, there are three pairs of stitches between the body of the mitten and the thumb that I kitchener together. That's the last thing I have to do to finish these.
Tomorrow, I'm taking Katy to an Introduction to Herding Clinic. A couple of my friends have gone to the clinics and have had fun, so we're looking forward to it. Since an experienced handler will be working with her I hope to get to take some pictures of Katy in the ring with some sheep. This is gonna be good!
Miss Ellie doesn't get to go to the herding clinic. Poor baby. But she did get to go and watch two agility classes tonight and practice being quiet in her crate. She was a star and barely barked or whined the whole time - even while I was working with other dogs! What a good girl.

I love the mittens too. I never really thought I would want to spin, but you are one of the knitter/spinners out here that have me re-thinking the whole idea. You even make me want to get a dog. I am trying NOT to rethink that one. Our life is just too crazy. But you make it look so good.

Good luck, Katy! You herd, girl! :) I can't WAIT to see pictures of that! Have fun! Maybe you can shear a sheep while there. No. That would be wrong.
RIght?

The mittens are drop dead gorgeous! I need to make another pair. I'm in mitten withdrawal!
