My social media feeds are full of Rhinebeck prep. Everyone is getting excited for New York Sheep and Wool with good reason. It is a fabulous event! A Rhinebeck trip is not in the cards this year for a number of reasons. I'll probably join in on #notrhinebeck this weekend! I tried to remember what… Continue reading Not Rhinebeck

Rhinebeck 2016
When it comes to writing about Rhinebeck, I often have trouble finding the right words. Next to a traditional New England Thanksgiving, this is the epitome of fall in the northeast. It is an experience and there is a lot to take in, even when your attendance is a yearly event! My Rhinebeck Sweater Two… Continue reading Rhinebeck 2016
Rhinebeck Shopping When You Are Stash Happy
This past weekend was the wonderful event known officially as "NY Sheep and Wool Festival", but as Rhinebeck to all the fiber fans that attend. It really is an amazing event. I feel like it combines the best part of New England / Upstate New York, prime leaf peeping season, the fall chill in the… Continue reading Rhinebeck Shopping When You Are Stash Happy
Back At It
When life gets busy, you tend to let some things go. For me, this blog took a backseat while other items needed action. All is well, it's just been a really busy six weeks or so. Do I have anything to show for this time of distraction? Yes! I knit these Laule'a socks in Malabrigo Rios,… Continue reading Back At It
Polka Dots
I love polka dots. They seem to be everywhere and then nowhere, but I think they are a classic. I don't polka-dot all the things, all the time though they always catch my eye. I will indulge in a good polka dot item: these sneakers I finally tracked down, pajama pants, socks, and so on.… Continue reading Polka Dots
Rhinebeck Recovery
Just like that another Rhinebeck is done! On Saturday, my plan was to socialize more than shop. I found my knitting group fairly quickly - obviously, it was hard to miss this group. We should have taken orders because not only were we frequently stopped for photos but people wanted to if we bought our… Continue reading Rhinebeck Recovery
FO Friday: 2014 Rhinebeck Hat
It's that time of year again - Rhinebeck weekend! This is a great festival and I look forward to it every year. I made a sweater during Camp Loopy that I thought I would wear to Rhinebeck, though the weather is looking warmer and my 2014 Rhinebeck Hat would clash with it. How crazy do… Continue reading FO Friday: 2014 Rhinebeck Hat
To Rhinebeck!
The time has come - Rhinebeck is this weekend! I will be there in my new "Rhinebeck Sweater" - I picked up the yarn at last year's show, and have finished it to wear when I go on Sunday. Proudly presenting my newest FO, Morning Coffee by Kate Oates! The yarn is from Good Karma… Continue reading To Rhinebeck!
Pining for Rhinebeck
Oh Rhinebeck. We wait all year to go and then woosh! the weekend just flies by! I had a really great time and consider this year to be a big success. I went with a list and pretty much found what I was looking for: yarn from Green Mountain Spinnery to do a JETS hat… Continue reading Pining for Rhinebeck
Garter Stitch.
Garter Stitch. It's one of those things every knitter starts out with right? I finally took a picture of my first ever knitting project. It was an afghan. Red Heart yarn, cranberry I think is the colorway. This project was made for Dan when we were dating (back in 2002 - we had been dating… Continue reading Garter Stitch.
