Wow, has it really been a month and a half since I last posted? Apparently so. I swear I was busy. Too busy, perhaps — my job keeps me pretty occupied. I’ve finally settled in and can devote brain space to things like knitting and designing and blogging. And..going to RHINEBECK.
I didn’t take a lot of pictures; I was too busy yakking with people and wandering around and buying ALL THE YARN. So were a lot of other people. This was the line at the Sanguine Gryphon booth:
We poked fun at signs:
and went to the Ravelry meetup on Saturday:
We knit and spun in a brewpub in Kingston:
and for the first time ever I had a knitted garment (not just an accessory) to wear this year.
The fact that I seamed it at 1 am Saturday and had to get help weaving in ends on Sunday morning while I hopped in the shower is inconsequential. Achievement Rhinebeck Sweater: Unlocked.
We rented a house this year and packed it full of awesome ladies:
and they were a huge part of why this weekend was so, so excellent. I am already looking forward to next year, but I supposed I should start knitting now, because. Well.
I had a great time. So did my stash.
Great sweater! I finished mine in the hotel room too, there’s no shame in that 😉
Your wrap-up makes me so happy! Almost as good as being there. Hopefully I’ll be able to make it next year, since we’ll be on the east coast and all… 😀
What a great post! You look FABULOUS!! And the sweater is pretty nice too 😉 You totally captured the fun and excitement – and your purchases look lovely – looking forward to seeing what they evolve into.
okay, that’s it. i’m totally putting aside money and vacation time so i can go to rhinebeck next year. after reading all of the twitters and facebook post – i’m jealous!
(and maybe this will give me some motivation to actually complete some knitting projects :))
