More Rhinebeck

These hand made spindles are very nice. Too bad I'm not coordinated enough to use one.

Artistically made wheels were in evidence also.

Rhinebeck 2009

Another Rhinebeck is over and what a delight. Yarn and fiber as far as the eye can see , muted, vibrant, natural. Reds, purples, greens, yellows, oranges.
A bit cold this year, had on a turtleneck, sweater over that, a mohair coat over that. An alpaca cowl, wool mittens, and a Foliage hat. What a sight I must have been! But I was warm.
Went a bit (or alot) overboard on the purchases this year. After losing my purse the first day, and panicking ( a very nice vendor found it and turned it in at the end of the day), I took it as a sign to spend the money that was in it.

Got a glass shawl pin from something Mud. Purchased 2 lbs of undyed merino. I've never dyed before so I'm looking forward to that.
A kettle dyed candy pink with a bit of white which may be a shawl. I'm fussy on pink so was thrilled to find the perfect shade. I'm so pale myself that I need a bit of punch in the color but not fushia.

The same vendor had a gorgeous almost lilac but not blue dyed in the same manner. I found a heart shaped button with panises in it that matched which I'll convert to a shawl pin.

Trish wore a purpley/cranberry sweater she made with a cable yoke. It is of course, beautiful.
She may not be fast, but the outcome is great!
