CT Sheep & Wool 2011

Posted in Adventures, sheep show, tagged on April 30, 2011 |

What a great day for a fiber festival! And we had an awesome time, as usual! As for the new fibery acquisitions: A Starfire batt from Spin a Bit. It literally called my name. It’s sparkly! Some lovely hand painted silk caps from A Touch of Twist. Also from A Touch of Twist, I picked [...]

Why yes, I AM still alive.

Posted in Adventures, Knitting, nanowrimo, sheep show on October 26, 2010 | 4 Comments »

see more Lolcats and funny pictures I just stopped by to brush a few cobwebs away. Here’s a quick update: 1. I finished the Knucks, although not in time for Rhinebeck. Which was totally okay because it was way too hot for fingerless gloves at Rhinebeck anyway. I love this colorway. 2. I know some [...]

This was our fourth year at this festival, and it was still awesome. Evidently I was in a purpley sort of mood today.

Rhinebeck 2009

Posted in sheep show, tagged , , , on October 18, 2009 | 8 Comments »

To be honest, I went back and forth with myself about attending this year’s New York Sheep & Wool festival.

Rhinebeck part 2, the Haul

Posted in sheep show, Spinning on October 20, 2008 | 4 Comments »

So, over the last week or so, I decided that the only way I would learn how to spin and get good at it is to just jump right in and start doing it. I had purchased a Turkish drop spindle at the CT Sheep & Wool festival a couple of years ago, along with [...]

*Happy Sigh* or, Rhinebeck part 1

Posted in Knitting, sheep show on October 19, 2008 | 6 Comments »

Today officially and completely made up for last year’s disappointment that was Rhinebeck. I really had a miserable time last year, due in part to the large, rude surge of humanity that was enormously unfriendly to children in general and strollers in particular. I spent a lot of time over the last year, trying to [...]
