Rhinebeck!
Was, of course, wonderful. There was a weather ‘issue’ and it was a little chilly but it was warm and not raining in the barns which was all I cared about. ;o)
I’m having trouble coming up with a cohesive post since there is so. much. so I’m going to completely steal from Carole and go with a random post. Ready?
I had a great time walking around with Risa, Carole, Sharon, Kathy, Manise, Kim and Hillary on both days. Saturday was ohmygawd crowded but Sunday was pretty awesome.
Seeing lots of my friends on both days – unfortunately only for quick moments. (and some I did not see at all…some I heard rumors of their attendance and some I did see but completely forgot to link to since I kinda suck at the remembering thing…sorry…)
Dinner at the Coyote Grill on Saturday night was totally worth arriving home at midnight in a semi-comatose state (only to get up at some ungodly hour on Sunday to do it all again). I had the *somewordIcan’tpronouncebutSharondidsothewaitressfiguredoutwhatIwanted* tuna. Yum. I looked forward to having that dish for a whole year (I had it last year).
Autumn colors
The shopping. I didn’t do too much on Saturday:
…but I made up for it on Sunday:
ETA: I’ve been totally busted. The green and blue skein of yarn in the first picture? There are actually 20 skeins total. Enough for two sweaters. *ahem* and the Abby Batts were in the Carolina Homespun booth where Morgaine could keep a close eye on them. ;o)
My favorite purchase? The Abby batt (in the plastic baggie) and my new spindle. Olive wood. So pretty…
Jazzy’s favorite purchase?
The bacon flavored treats I bought because I had to leave them home and crated all day. :o(
The rain kinda sucked on Sunday and I thought it was fitting that this was what was playing when I got in the car to drive to the fairgrounds:
I met Guido of ‘It’s a Purl Man‘ fame on Sunday and did a little voice blurb thingy from the fest. (mine is the Oct 18 2:30 pm one)
by Sunday most of these:
had found new homes! ;o)
I think that covers it? Who knows, I probably missed like eleventeen really important things that happened – my brain was so fried from exhaustion that when I got home on Sunday? I slept for three. hours.
Okay…going to go pet my new spindle…

…is this thing on?
Holy wow has it really been 2 weeks since my last post? It’s been crazy around here – I’ve been sewing my butt off for Rhinebeck (my bags were at the Spinning Room booth!) so I haven’t had much time for blogging or blog reading. Hopefully now that the festival rush is over I’ll have more time to spend going through my mountain of unread blog posts in the RSS feed reader!
I owe you a Rhinebeck post – I was there! My bags were there! A few people even bought some! I bought a bunch of stuff! – but here is a bit of a taste of what I saw there:
Cool pumpkins, eh? ;o) I’ll be back soon with a post on the cool stuff I purchased there (yak fiber!) and the people I saw, I promise!
p.s. There are new prints up in the shop! ;o)
Rhinebeck haul!
What did I get? A little of this and a bit of that…
1. Foxhill Farm Cormo; 2. Steam Valley Fiber sock yarn; 3. Foxfire Border Leicester & Mohair; 4. Blue Ridge Yarns Bambie in Evening Rain (purchased for me by Carole as a thank you for being her WP code monkey – thanks again, Carole!); 5. Clover Leaf Farms Merino/Silk in Cranberry Bog; 6. Clover Leaf Farms Merino in Mountain Leaves; 7. Clover Leaf Farms Wool/Silk in Autumn; 8. Two Grafton Batts (I may have knocked over an old lady to get these…it’s all a blur); 9. Frabjous Fibers BFL in Cottage Garden; 10. Frabjous Fibers BFL in Redwood Forest; 11. Frabjous Fibers in Plum Toast; 12. Brooks Farms Riata
What?! I left a few things for the other shoppers…*ahem* Okay and there are a few more things I need to share but not today, the light was all wrong for picture taking so you’re going to have to wait for those, too! ;o)
