\ufeff\ufeff\ufeffI’m quite late posting about Rhinebeck. \u00a0The internet abounds with images of what a beautiful weekend it was up in the Hudson Valley with the color just starting to turn and lots of promise for the weeks ahead. \u00a0I love the one on Ravelry’s Homepage<\/a>!<\/p>\n

The drive was terrible! \u00a0One hour, 30 minutes to the Kingston exit on the NYState Thruway, then another hour and a half <\/em>to get across the Rhinecliff Bridge and crawl to the fairground! \u00a0I’m not sure I can do this again next year….<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, here are my treasures:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Alpaca\/Wool\/Mohair from Brooks Farm (Lancaster, TX) and buttons from Gita Maria <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Brooks Farm<\/a> booth is always impossibly crowded, but I had an idea for a gift for a friend: a skein of luscious alpaca\/wool\/mohair with fund buttons from Gita Maria<\/a>. \u00a0The pattern is from Spin Off Magazine, Summer 2009.<\/p>\n

And for me….<\/p>\n

Rhinebeck Treasures<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Eureka! \u00a0I found buttons for my Einstein coat! \u00a0…also from Gita Maria. \u00a0She had baskets full <\/em>of buttons, and they were all so pretty that I just dug through the lot until I found six that matched! \u00a0I added to my Signature needles stash (usually one a year when I see them at a show so I can avoid shipping!). \u00a0And I couldn’t resist the fun double pointed needles from knitpicks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Handpainted 54s Corriedale Wool Top resting on a bed of Suri Alpaca\/Silk<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

And although I am drowning in fiber, I cannot go to a wool festival without getting a little something…. look at that beautiful braid of handpainted Corriedale from “into the whirled”<\/a>….sigh<\/em>….resting on top of \u00a0a cloud soft cushion of Suri Alpaca\/Silk from Biltmore Wool Barn in Brewster, Mass…. bigger sigh<\/em>….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
