RHINEBECK RHINEBECK RHINEBECK!!!

It's that time of year once again! Going to Rhinebeck tomorrow!!! Taking the bus put together by Saratoga Needle Arts! Planning on lots of fiber goodness, watching the sheep dog trials, good food, and lots of beautiful animals!

I've been spending a lot of time over on Ravelry at the Completely Pointless and Arbitrary Swap group - what a crazy bunch of ladies - and some terrific swap opportunities!

The spinning is coming along nicely. This is a picture of the final bobbin of Louet merino that I've been spinning on and off for about a year. It's pencil roving, so no prep needed. Just pull it out and start spinning. This is going to be my first Pi Shawl. I think.



This is just a fun little hank that I put together. I plied the remainder of some Hill Country Yarn (the yellow) from a pair of socks with the remainder of a skein of burgundy handspun. Just to see what it looked like! Maybe this will turn into a little striped scarf . . .


Now - where did I put my Ravelry pin - got to find it before tomorrow morning!!!

The burgundy handspun/Country Hill reminds me of Harry Potter Gryffindor colors. In a really subtle nice way.pb

My daughter said the exact same thing! I wasn't even thinking of that when I put the colors together!

Wasn't it just the most perfect day for a Sheep and Wool Festival?!? :)
