Rhinebeck!

Once again I was fortunate to attend the New York Sheep and Wool Festival, affectionately known as Rhinebeck. This year was a wee stressful with an outdoor booth and a forecast of 40 – 60 mph wind gusts. There was a last minute booth move, fifteen minutes before the festival opened, when the winds really picked up, but in the end everything was okay. As usual I made it through with a little help from my friends. This year I made a squirrel knitting a sweater for the 2010 Rhinebeck mug. I totally forgot to take pictures before I packed them up and hit the road so the pictures above are of the last one before it was sent home with a very happy kniter.  My apologies for the poor images – but you get the gist. It was a lovely time, I met SO many wonderful folks and I am so happy to have the opportunity to attend it.

  • I bought a sheepy mug on Saturday after wanting one for years! It was quite gusty that day, so I’m glad to hear you had enough shelter…

  • It was great to see you at the show, and to finally buy the mug I’ve been wishing I bought since I didn’t get one at Rhinebeck LAST year, and a gorgeous yarn bowl… and some buttons. Have I mentioned that I really like your stuff?

  • Got the chance to see your pottery in Rhinebeck last weekend. Absolutely love your pottery, especially the bowls with the knitting motif. The homebrew silk laceweight Framboise was absolutely beautiful; the way it shone in the sunlight, was definitely an eyecatcher. Please let me know when I can purchase more pottery (with the knitting motif) from your website.

  • Oh my goodness! I want one! I bought one of your lovely mugs at Sock Summit and I look forward to using it every.single.day! You are amazing!

  • I was sad about not being able to go to Rhinebeck again but after seeing your mug I was really really really sad. But I love the squirrel mug I bought when you were at the Wisconsin Fiber Fest. I can’t wait to see more pottery.
