I finally got to go!
Okay, first apologies for my extralong unplanned hiatus. This year has been outrageously busy; I barely have time to knit, let alone talk about it. Unf.
So, Rhinebeck. Last spring I missed the Maryland S&W for the spring festival here at school, so this year when fall break and Rhinebeck lined up, I was determined to go!
The Highlights
I finished my FLS in the car at a rest stop in New York on my way down from Vermont from visiting a friend. Sewed on the buttons in a parking lot!
Classy, no?
Meeting up with old friends and making new friends!
The Ravelry party, no doubt.
So many knitters taking over!
(LOL)
Went back the second day for more animals and to purchase the yarn I’d fondled the day before.
Then I ran into Jody, go figure!
Too much fun.
So there’s my finished February Lady, as well as my Quincy and Esperanza hat and scarf set. Malabrigo. Awesome. I really love the Quincy (by Jared Flood) construction; it makes me feel incredibly intelligent as a knitter.
I’ve got my Christmas gifts in the works now… hopefully I can get them finished in time. Most of my knitting these days takes place in class because I don’t have time outside of class (!!!). Also, starting November 1st I’ll be working on another novel for NaNoWriMo, so that’ll be a giant time suck. I need to invent more hours in the day. Eep!
It was so nice to meet you in person!
Looks like so much fun! I love the finished FLS 🙂
Rhinebeck was awesome. So…next year? 😀
I definitely think you should come next year! I had fun meeting you. Did you buy anything good on Sunday?
It was so much fun running into you! Love your lady feb sweater too! Hopefully I’ll see you at MD next year!
Classy, yes!
