Indie Untangled, Wool & Folk & Rhinebeck 2023 - Recap & Review

[@donnakarwoski6074]

It's so fun hearing your enthusiam for this weekend. Acknowledging that there were big problems, you are able to find the positive & the joy in the time you got to spend with friends & fans. That's why I love coming here. Your thoughtfulness & kindness is such a gift to me & others. And, of course, the socks! Thank you Denise!

[@noelleparris9451]

This was a lovely recap. Your pictures (especially those of you with friends, makers, others) were so sweet. It was clear how much you enjoyed your time with everyone. I am hoping to get to Rhinebeck this year with a friend, and Sunday seems like a great day to me (because I prefer the quieter times). Love that you gave a shoutout to Michael (Piece4Peace Crafting) because he - like you - is a bright light in the making world, full of kindness, joy and enthusiasm. I am sure your family was thrilled to have you back! Thanks for sharing your experience.

A fabulous recap of the weekend. I am sorry I didn’t get to meet you. I was able to give Joanna a hug and she is so sweet. I live in Newburgh so I go to Rhinebeck every year, this year I also attended Indieuntangled and it was so much fun. Hop to meet you sometime, I just love your channel.

[@sandimichaels2324]

Thank you for sharing the Rhineback Festival. I had listened to compliants about the festival. I'm glad you and Joanna had a great time. I enjoyed the pictures and video you shared. Thank you so much.

[@EarthtonesgirlPodcast]

I'm so happy you enjoyed it!!!

[@jeannievega1639]

Thank you Denise for a great podcast. Sorry I missed seeing you and Joanna glad you had a wonderful time. I did spend time in the Woolens and Nosh booth talking to Caleb and purchasing some of Michele's beautiful stripe yarn. Enjoyed all the Rhinebeck photos and meet ups. Until next time.💗

[@valeriehowden471]

Thank you for providing your recap. I have watched a few podcasts reviews and the professionalism displayed by the vendors was outstanding. I hope they can recover from this event's disappointment and rebound higher in 2024 + beyond. I first heard about Rhinebeck from you and aspire to go + be part of the fibre flock. May I fangirl you in the near future, my dear sock mentor. Hugs from Winnipeg, Canada.

[@EarthtonesgirlPodcast]

Hi Valerie, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!! Thank you so much for watching!!

[@lindac6922]

I enjoyed your recap. I watched so many recaps immediately after and it was nice to see one a month later.

[@EarthtonesgirlPodcast]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@joycepastore3860]

I am so thrilled that you included our pic in your podcast, what a delightful surprise! Thank you so much Denise. It was really wonderful to meet you in person and I owe all of my sock adventures to you.😊 I greatly appreciate your very thoughtful comments on what happened at wool and folk. Vendors and sponsors were understandably, upset and angry, but one in particular, just can’t seem to let it go. Those who were financially impacted should take legal action and move on from here. And I understand that some have organized to do so. Just to be accurate, the New York sheep and Wool festival just had it’s 51st year. And someone told me that basically a vendor has to die off for another vendor to get in there, lol. I can’t wait to see more of your upcoming podcast and watch your tutorials. I also got sick after Rhinebeck, had bronchitis for about two weeks. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. @DrJoyceKnits

[@elaineenstone6834]

A really great heartfelt podcast covering all the wool festivals with sensitivity. Thank you. 🇬🇧

[@EarthtonesgirlPodcast]

Aww, thank you so much for watching! I'm so happy you enjoyed it!!

[@SharenKesti]

Hi Denise, I love how you explain things in your tutorials ! I have looked through to see if you have a tutorial to do a toe up sock ?

[@debbieraby]

Denise, I so appreciate how thoughtful you are when speaking, how you choose your words. I had the pleasure of meeting Joanna at Sacred Sheep! I have followed her since she began her channel. I was born and raised in the North SF Bay Area and now live in Portland. Both you and Joanna bring me joy through your channels - thank you. How you described your fiber friendship is exactly how my knit group is. We are each other’s safe place. There are 12 of us, ages 22-84, and our bond is incredible. Some of us meet every Friday at a coffee shop in NE Portland and now we have the owners and employees invested in our making, our fiber choices and our progress!

[@EarthtonesgirlPodcast]

Aww, thank you so much Debbie!! And your knit group sounds wonderful!!! Fiber friends are amazing!!!

[@SylviaW2022]

Perfect timing! Reminder to support small businesses throughout the entire holiday (buying and giving) season. Just love your voice - your diction is spot on. Happy Holidays!

[@EarthtonesgirlPodcast]

You're so welcome!! And thank you!!!

[@SewKnitee]

I am forever grateful for you and your passion for teaching! 19mo ago I followed your no fear sock knitting pattern and videos! Now I'm known as the sock go to in my knit group! Thank you Thank you Thank you !!!!!❤

[@lindafrank1526]

So glad you’re back! I’ve never been to the Rhinebeck festival but hope to attend next year. Thank you for your review. Prayers and blessings that you continue to get better.

[@EarthtonesgirlPodcast]

I hope you do get to attend at some point!! It really is an amazing experience.!!

[@jamiethrogmorton2540]

My first time here, really enjoyed this time and I’ll be a regular from now on. 🎉

[@EarthtonesgirlPodcast]

Welcome to my channel! I’m so happy you’re here!

[@lisanycz4164]

Woohoo! Thank you for including the picture of us together in your Wool and Folk recap. Meeting you and Joanna was the highlight of Wool and Folk for me and your recap of the event was perfect!

[@EarthtonesgirlPodcast]

Oh you're so welcome!!! It was wonderful meeting you!!!

[@Sankofahandmade]

Thanks! For sharing your experiences! I’ve never been to a market/festival! Hopefully one day I’ll get to go and also visit the NY area! Never been ever! You been a HUGE inspiration for me 😬😬😬😬😬

[@EarthtonesgirlPodcast]

Aww, thank you SO MUCH. You are so generous!!!

[@sandyrinehart5566]

Thank you for the highlights of your trip to the wool and fibers events. Your spirit and values are outstanding, I am thankful for you.

[@EarthtonesgirlPodcast]

Thank you so much Sandy!!!

[@jessicaolney4900]

It's really good to hear about that weekend after this time has passed; I think it took me several weeks to recover. It was my first fiber event and yes...overwhelming yet beyond amazing. I do't know how on your side of it all (with your events, and fame...) you manage so well. Thanks again for the great hug and not running when I shouted to you on the hill--who was I that day? 😂. I came alone from Florida but was honored to have Leanne and Liz (Cocktail Hour at the Coop) and friends look after me and I so hope I can come again another year (and do Indie Untangled). I am a new acquaintance of Paige and I agree that she is a great person to be around; I can see why you two are such good friends. Take care Denise and we will see you when we see you!

[@anneellison8188]

Excellent recap video Denise! Its always so nice to see my favorite sock tutorial teacher in a new vlog. And I follow Joanna too so its really fun for me to see the both of you together. She mentions you often as well in her vlogs. Its interesting how people can come together over a hobby from absolute opposite ends of a country, isn't it? But I think you're both fabulous and enjoy both channels on a regular basis. Happy holiday season to you and your family!

[@EarthtonesgirlPodcast]

Oh thank you so much for watching!!!! And I wish you a happy holiday season too!

[@catherinemuhlhauser8008]

Dear Denise, thank you so much for this episode ! No stitches here but a lot of emotions and feelings ! It was so good to see you with Joanna ! In fact, I found you on youtube through her podcast that I have been watching for a very long time, so thanks to her ! I knew she was your "mystery friend" as soon as you annouced this visit in previous episodes ! 😉About knitting events I love your ability to express the complexity of yours different emotions, finding positive even when things don't go so well. Thank you so much for sharing ! . In France we don't have such big knitting events and I think I would be overwehlmed very easily. Thank you Denise ! And by the way...did you buy anything ? AhAh !

[@EarthtonesgirlPodcast]

Thanks so much for watching catherine!! I think a bit too much emotion in this episode but I really wanted to share all of this and I'm so glad I did. Lots of stitches in the next episode, promise!!

[@woolaroundtheworld]

Love watching your podcast. Happy to see you in such a good mood again. You look amazing in this dress. To be real i do tge opposite of you. Its Saturday night and i have soup and knitting in bed. Have a great day

[@PaigeTheFramer]

I love you, friend ❤

[@EarthtonesgirlPodcast]

I love you more my friend!!! ❤️

[@redaleta]

Ok, I need rainbow socks. Does anyone know what the pattern for the cape Paige was wearing? This was so much fun. Happy to see you.

[@EarthtonesgirlPodcast]

It was so beautiful. I'll have to do a little research. I know she borrowed it from a friend.

[@leslienero7884]

Wow, there actually is a real Jenny!

[@EarthtonesgirlPodcast]

Yes, there is!! I was just as surprised!!! lol

[@dianeloehr1156]

When do the Indie untangled tickets go on sale??? Want to make sure that I get there in 2024. Thank you. Diane

[@EarthtonesgirlPodcast]

The best way to find out is to visit the website. I provided a link in the description box under the video. You can also sign up for their newsletter. That way you stay on top of upcoming events and dates.

[@sandrazboinski6473]

I have a goal to learn how to knit socks. Can you recommend a very simple pattern for beginners that is plus size, I have big calves 🙃. Thanks

[@EarthtonesgirlPodcast]

Hi Sandra, The simplest way to accommodate "plus size/big calves" is too add ribbing. 2x2 is a good place to start. I would do a search on Ravelry (if you are on that platform) or just online. I'm sure you'll find something that works for you.

[@kellyfazekas7831]

I haven't followed the hullabaloo from the fiber festival per season but would have to be living under a rock to avoid it all. Having said that, I'm so very glad you put your usual positive spin on things. I can always count on you to be honest and open yet fair and kind. You're a special person Denise, I hope you know that. Hugs!

[@EarthtonesgirlPodcast]

Thank you Kelly!! You words mean more than you imagine!!!

[@4SlowFashion]

the EYF looks canceled. the venue changed hands and they stopped in 2020? looks like. if anyone knows, let us know

[@EarthtonesgirlPodcast]

Thanks for letting us know.

[@alisonsmith376]

Not everyone will take the time to thoughtfully search for the positive amongst the negativity, thank you. Also, I got The Cozy Knitter’s advent project this year for the first time - can’t wait! I think I heard about her from you, so thanks again, Denise. 🧶

[@EarthtonesgirlPodcast]

Aww, thank you Alison!! I'm so glad you got on her Advent Skeins!!! You are going to love it!!! She is amazing!!!
