Rhinebeck 2017

I'm still recovering from it.  Here are some pictures though.


The view from the window of our hotel room.  We ended up staying in Times Square.  This is 40th Street.


We took Amtrak from Penn Station to Rhinecliff.  Here is a shot of the outside in the early morning.  Our train left at 7am.


A view of the Hudson River from the train.  It was a 2 hour train ride and a short cab ride from Rhinecliff.


This is the Mulberry Street entrance.  We are waiting in line to get our tickets.  It didn't take long to get in.


A view from the Fair while it was early and not so packed.  After 12pm, it was crazy full.


This is me and Kathy.  I'm the grey hair one.


 Random shot at the Fair before it got busy.


Another random shot at the fair.


We were gathering in a circle for our Stitch Marker Swap on the Hill.


Basically my fiber haul.  Not shown is the sock blank and bag I got.


I went back before catching the cab to grab these 2 dk weight yarns.  I want to make the Fade Cardigan.


Picture of the Stitch Marker Swap.  I have so many nice stitch markers now.


A view of Times Square.

Another Test Knit



I am a glutton for punishment!  I have a HUGE shawl (over 1,000 yards) test shawl that needs to be done by the end of July.  July is Tour De Fleece for which my goal this year is just to spin each day.  I missed one and will probably miss a couple more days due to travel.  Then I decide to sign up for another test knit.  I have to say though that both my girls wanted a hat from the test knit.  I hope it will go fast.  I did managed to finish the brim last night and it should be quick after the color work.  If you want to check out the pattern, look here:  http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/knit-wit-designs-fans/3458834/1-25#22
