Rhinebeck Wrap Up

Sigh. We are home, and it was wonderful. Here is the recap.

Saturday morning, we got primo parking and entered the fair around 9:30. We encountered some adorable alpacas.



My father will be happy to know that I did not, in fact, adopt them.

Here is the mob scene that was Briar Rose. There was actually a right of way in this booth that I did not pick up on until it was too late and I was going against traffic. I escaped, thankfully, says my checking account.



We said hi to some large animals:







Browsed the award winning garments:



eyed a handspun football jersey...



Knitted on the world's biggest sock (well, we hope it's the biggest sock)







Saw an amazing sweater or two (or one hundred)



Watched a dog frisbee show...



Saw some cute babies...



Saw some cute displays...


(it's a pumpkin)



Saw some beautiful wheels...



Picked up Vilde's refurbished antique Norwegian wheel...



Saw Ysolda (and froze) at the Ravelry meet-up



Met Gudrun, Shetlander and designer extraordinaire...



Said hi to Mimi's adorable kiddos running the register at the NL booth...



Got these books signed by their authors:

Vintage Baby Knits and The New Stranded Colorwork

From TNSC



All in all, a great trip with friends. I am happy to be home with Gansey and my purchases.
