The only thing that would have made the day absolutely perfect instead of just perfect was finishing the mittens. But as we started walking around, eating, shopping and breathing in the clean air it just didn’t seem to matter!!!
The little animal lover and future vet in action!!
I’m not the “selfie” kind of girl but this attempt was pretty successful!
Every year there is one yarn that is the must-have of the season. This year is by Miss Babs.
That line stretched outside and down the side of the building…It is beautiful and gorgeous and I’m so glad I got to see it in person. Now I’ll just order some on the internet later and continue to enjoy the day!
My cousin took this picture and obviously I didn’t know she was there! Serious business this yarn shopping!!
Time for some more eating!!!
I wanted so much to be a big girl, walk over, introduce myself, get some pictures, say how much I love their work and move on. Instead I was totally star-struck and stole this picture instead. On the left is Jessica, one of founders of Ravelry and on the right is Ysolda, knit designer extraordinaire!!! I’ve knit a couple of her shawls, Ishbel, and Damson for example.
Then as I walked away this lovely lady approached me, introduced her self and we took a picture. She’s been reading my blog for years now and wanted to say hello. She even asked for Kira. Why couldn’t I be so grown up?
Here’s my friend Karen who I had the pleasure of running into. She is wearing a pair of hand warmers I knit her years ago. She said they’ve been repaired twice and still going strong. That’s love!!! Thanks so much Karen!!!
My girl and I took a quiet moment to knit and watch the animals…
happiness is…
Thank you…see you next year Rhinebeck!!!!!
I would love to be there! Maybe one day. Your girl is beautiful! Ysolda is my knitting hero, I can understand you, the first time I meet her at SquamItalia I was speechless, she is really awesome and nice!
Great pictures, Denise!! I especially love the one Alex took of you while you were shopping for yarn. Such intensity!! How cool that you ran into one of your blog followers too. What a wonderful day for you, Kira and everyone.
Glad to see that you had a fun day. It cracks me up that you were “star struck” by the knitting ladies! You are a star knitter in your own right dear, so I love it that someone who follows your blog approached you! Happy fall! Hope you picked some pretty yarn for your next project!
Oh so sad to have missed it! Your post makes me feel a little better, especially the part about being approached by a groupie! Love that!
