Well I know it's yarn along today and what better way to celebrate then to share about my trip to Rhinebeck! It was my first year and so it was a little over whelming you might say!!
We arrived early and got right in the gates when they opened...the line behind us went on forever! I did have a must have list of a few items but I really just wanted to look around and take it all in. The weather was great and perfect for sweaters.....which we saw a lot of!!! I was lucky to have 2 of my girls with me......here I am with Hannah Grace in our handknits and some homepun too!!
and the aisles and aisles of yarn and fiber..........
The one item I really wanted to get my hands on was a Trindle.......and I got one and I love it! You can buy them on Etsy too but I really wanted to see it first. I also picked up lots of different fiber to make rolags on my blending board. Here is my loot!!
I told my daughter to keep me in line and remind me how I don't need any more yarn right now.......but how could I come away without even one skein?? So I ended up with one skein of Socks That Rock that I could not pass up!
Oh and here is a photo of the Ravely meet up......there was sooo many people!!!
What a great day and I am already looking forward to next year!!
I actually was inspired and casted on for a new project this week! I have been spinning this gorgeous 100% merino and decided it wanted to become and Idlewood sweater. So even before I have finished spinning all the fiber I have started knitting this......next week I will have pictures but this is the homespun I am using for it....it is knitting up so soft and squishy!
I started listening to "The Woman in White" by Wilkie Collins narrated by
Roger Rees, Rosalyn Landor, John Lee, Judy Geeson. It was recommended on the yarn along last week and I am really enjoying it! If you like Downton Abby you will like this!! Joining Ginny for the Yarn along........Happy Knitting!!
