I was fairly restrained in my purchases at Rhinebeck this year and I spent a lot of the time hanging out with friends and admiring the lovely views. I was lucky enough to spend time on Saturday afternoon with Danielle Chalson of Makewise Designs and her mom. She’s wearing her Syringa Shawl here:
The weather was picture perfect:
And the fish were still swimming around in the pond:
One last purchase was some lovely green BFL from Fiber Optic Yarns. It didn’t have a colour name of its own, and Sarah C. promptly dubbed it, “Leprechaun, but in a good way”.
She also bought some fiber from Kimber and I’ve committed to spinning it up for her. With beautiful blues like this it won’t be a hardship!
I had an awesome time!! And I’m looking forward to some snazzy blue yarn! Thanks!
Saw those fish too, but was more impressed with the lotus leaves. Also bought some r0ving from Fiber Optic–Shetland in shades of claret. Didn’t see you there; I was too busy ogling the wool!
Sorry we didn’t get to see you! It was an amazing weekend
Hi Natalie…
WOW…thank you for the great picture of Danielle and me…that was very sweet of you…!!! It was a great pleasure to meet you, and laugh and chat and enjoy your company!! We couldn’t have asked for finer weather or nicer companionship! See you next year!!
It was lovely to meet you too! I had a great time.
