The trip started Friday, the festival on Saturday,
Welcome to Saturday at
The Rhinebeck Sheep and Wool Festival
Here's Leanne, the girl who taught me how to knit.
Saturday started with a "steeking" party.
Saturday started with a "steeking" party.
Steek is an old Scottish word
that refers to a specific group of stitches that are for future cutting.
You can see that Leanne's sweater looks like a pullover.
Liz "cut" the center stitches at the party and the sweater became a cardigan,
what it was always meant to be.
I don't have an after picture * sigh *, I was too busy cheering!
I don't know why anyone would do this, Leanne and Liz, much more adventuresome than I.

This huge banner was in the barn you enter through.

Leanne designed the logo we are standing in front of...in case you didn't know!
Now I will take you through the festival.
There are a lot of pictures...
I decided to photograph "a few of my favorite things"
that went down the toilet as soon as I walked in to the first barn,
I LOVED everything!!
This artist was so talented, his art was amazing!
My friend Joan there,
an amazing woman who really took me under her wing!

The trees were gorgeous!
One of several parking lot's,
the place was packed, I heard they broke their own record of attendee's.

Riding home to the airbnb, I always looked for the red bridge.
The day ended with this beautiful sunset
and this view from the back of the home where we were staying.
To say that I am lucky is a huge under statement.
And remember, there's still Sunday and the Leaping Lama's!

Oh, Honey! What a marvelous time you had! I watched the video of cutting the stitches you posted on Facebook. Amazing.
I love how you love knitting! And I love the paintings! Your photos made me feel like I was right there with you!
Fun, Fun, Fun. Even for someone like me who no longer does knitting it looks fascinating.
Hello, there is so much to see there, I would enjoy being there and I do not knit. The scarves, sweaters, yarn and colors all look beautiful. I love the cute sheep ornaments and art work. I enjoyed the post and photos. Enjoy your day!

Oh my gosh what an AMAZING FESTIVAL/ EVENT!! I've never seen so much yarn in one place........and all the COLORS! love the pictures of the colorful trees as well. It looks like so much fun and my gosh......VERY WELL attended!! So many people. I love that yard covered swing in the previous post too......so pretty, great place for pictures. Love your friend's sign/logo---she did a great job! All the ladies you're with are gorgeous and look like everybody had such a fun time and oh gosh!!!---love that one lady's patchwork pocketbook!!! That bridge is so neat, there are alot of bridges like that where I come from, I love them and making pictures of them.

So many beautiful things to see. The colours are amazing from the trees to the products. And that blue sky...
Fantastic!I would love be there!Hugs!
That looks like a great wool festival!
These all the photos are so stunning.
I don't know diddly-squat about wool, yarn, or knitting, but it looks like a great event for those that do! The setting was certainly gorgeous! Beautiful trees!
In Texas there's a law...you must wear boots with a hat.
THE BEST WEEKEND EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh how fun, I bet it was hard not to walk out of there with your hands full of all kinds of goodies. If you are anything like me at a scrapbook convention your heart rate increases just stepping into the place and seeing all the goodies there to feast your eyes on. How great to have it this time of year when all the leaves are changing too :) Love the old bridge, and what a pretty way to end a perfect day!!
Look at all those beautiful yarns! I’ve never heard of steeking (not sure if I spelled that correctly) - I think I’d be scared of ruining all that work!
