Rhinebeck 2007

October 23, 2007 By Carole

There are lots of wonderful things about the New York Sheep & Wool Festival.

festival_grounds.jpg
The fairgrounds are lovely.

paint_pots.jpg
The fiber is plentiful.

beer_booth.jpg
And the food is delicious. I ate my spring rolls and artichokes before I even thought of taking a photo but at least I got a picture of the all-important beer booth.

You know what I’m going to say next, don’t you? The truly wonderful thing about this festival is the friends I see there. There were many, many at the Blogger Meet Up but I only have one picture to show of that.

carole_rachel.jpg
Rachael and I. I was so thrilled to finally meet her. We hugged and laughed and then I pointed her in the direction of the beer both.

dave_judy.jpg
And there were friends at the booths, too. Like Dave who was getting help in his booth from Judy.

I feel really lucky to have had so many of my friends gathered in my hotel room — shared with Blogless Sharon and Susan, the worlds most perfect roommates — on Saturday night.

cheryl_kates_sweater.jpg
Cheryl did some modeling for us. We are her posse, you know.

Laurie_Lorrie.jpg
And Laurie and Lorrie were all smiles.

manise_cheryl_susan.jpg
There was laughter. Lots and lots of laughter, as demonstrated here by Manise, Cheryl and Susan.

manise_di_kathy.jpg
And hugging. Happily demonstrated by Manise (boy, she got in every photo!), Di and Kathy.

There were many other wonderful friends in my room that night who didn’t get photographed. Lucia and Ruth, Chris, and Martha were there, as was Kellee and Kate Gilbert and Julia and Michelle with her entourage of New Yorkers. Kim and Terry, Stitchy and Maryse, Judy with her sister Linda, and Cindy, just to mention a few. There was also pizza and beer, and the Red Sox and we all got to try Kim’s new wheel. It was a really fabulous night.

Now I am home and it’s over for another year. It just makes me wonder, how long ’til SPA?

  14. Chris says

    I’m SO glad to see you got a photo of Susan…I was beginning to wonder if she made it after all! Looks like you all had WAY too much fun!

  16. Birdsong says

    October 23, 2007 at 9:50 am

    Lots of good photos… hope the letdown is comforted by lots of emails and spinning your new fiber (hey, wait, where are the photos of your ‘finds’?)

  17. Kelly says

    October 23, 2007 at 9:51 am

    Rhinebeck went by too fast this year! It was nice seeing you on Saturday.

  18. Julie says

    October 23, 2007 at 9:53 am

    Looks like all the action happened in your room! Everyone looks so happy (hmmm, alcohol involved?). Wish I could have been there; next year for sure!

    SPA will be here before you know it; I can’t wait.

  19. maryse says

    October 23, 2007 at 9:54 am

  20. Manise says

    October 23, 2007 at 10:16 am

    Rumbeck was a blast and thanks for being such a wonderful hostess yet again! I don’t think Rhinebeck would be the same without a “Carole/ Sharon” party on Saturday night. It was great to laugh with you all……. and spin on Kim’s wheel.

  21. Wool Winder says

    October 23, 2007 at 10:25 am

    October 23, 2007 at 5:16 pm

  36. ~Kristie says

    October 23, 2007 at 5:18 pm

    (wistful sigh)
    It looks like the most wondrous of times and I’m so green!

    It looks like the best time, Carole! I’m really hoping to get there next year. JR and I talked about going last week, and my work schedule changed, so I couldn’t get away for the weekend. Isn’t it the best time when knitters get together? Oh! And we know Dave and Kathy, too! (maybe I already told you this???)

If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good for, it’s my sourdough game. I actually started learning about making sourdough bread a week before the stay at home orders thanks to @sprboston as he shared his starter and recipe and technique with me. Since then I have kept Mama Cass fed and alive and have baked many loaves of bread. This one might be my best one yet. I did the final proof in the fridge for 24 hours and baked it from its cold state. Great spring and ear and crumb, it was delicious with dinner tonight. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #lookatthatcrumb #lookatthatear #homebakedbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest
