what Rhinebeck is REALLY like (and why you should go!)

Welcome to the New York State Sheep and Wool Festival 2022! Known by knitters and crocheters as "Rhinebeck," this two-day festival is something that people will travel from all across the country to enjoy. In this video, I'm sharing two full days of Rhinebeck with lots of tips and tricks along the way!

So nice that you mentioned accessibility. I am in an electric wheelchair so its rare that people include this. Bravo to you.

[@briginator9391]

I really appreciate how you also bring up areas where accessibility is a little bit lacking (the hill meetups & food options) and even plan on working to make your own meetup next year better for everyone to enjoy. This is a beautiful and fun vlog!

[@alexhayeschapple]

I’m laughing so hard at Kent explaining your purchases! He’s so sweet and supportive 😭💕💕💕

[@cyndierussell9209]

This was the BEST overview of Rhinebeck. Your husband doing the overview of your purchases was the best! He’s a keeper!

[@haileyclement5039]

Kent trying to show off your purchases was so sweet!

[@courtneyscrochetcreations]

Love this video. Maybe one day I'll make it there, but in the meantime, this made me feel like I was there with yall!! Love how Kent is showing the purchases. It's awesome that he is so sweet and supportive! He deserves all the hats. Lol.

[@kathwhit6462]

Thank you for such a wonderful glimpse of the Rheinbeck/NY State fair.

[@crystilmurch5659]

Okay, so sheep wearing clothes made from sheep fleece is now one of my favorite things EVER. ❤

[@laciechurch211]

I think kent explaing and showing everything you bought was my fav part lol. Love his heart.

[@applecrafts615]

I love the fresh take on your Rhinebeck adventure. It was nice to learn about the shops in the area, food vendors, accommodations, etc. Thanks.

[@angelajackson9488]

Spectacular well done all 💜🧶 thank you very much for taking us along💜🧶💜🧶💜🧶🇦🇺

[@theshawlknitter-unplugged1863]

Definitely the best Rhinebeck round up I have seen. Full of very usefull information. Just wish I could see more of your lovely knitted dress. Thanks and well done.

[@joyceford1301]

So nice to see Kent so much in this episode - loved his explanations of your purchases! Enjoyed your experiences and your "tour" of Rheinbeck - Thank You!

[@henrietta4240]

This is probably your best video to date, I loved it so much and now I feel like I've just been to Rhinebeck. Kent explaining your acquisitions was a hoot, definitely made me chuckle. Thanks Natalie and Kent!!

[@sayshagreene7365]

Great job Natalie; and it was good to see you for that flicker of a second.

[@KnittyNatty]

It went by in a flash!

[@laine_geek]

Your pink knit dress is gorgeous!

[@Lisa-vb3gn]

Kent did a great job explaining your purchases-no need to repeat it!😁

[@shabbyhareknits3517]

You and Kent are THE CUTIEST 🥺♥️

[@beckyyoung6671]

Amen to cash only!!! Love it

[@beautifulbabygirl85]

This was my first year attending Rhinebeck and it was SO fun! There were so many things to look at and check out. Thank you for sharing your trip! Hope to see you next year.

[@violashook]

Wonderfully fun and informative videos! Thank you for taking me along to Rhinebeck.

[@maryprochilo4498]

What great weather you had for this event! I hope next year we'll be just as fortunate!

[@joanneyoung5410]

Thanks for such a great podcast. I’m the least techy person but I really appreciate the production quality of this. The pictures , sound and the quality of the filming (so steady no motion sickness for me here ) . It was lovely to see you really enjoying your friends company . I love Brussels sprouts so these look amazing. Your sweater looks super cute on you as it is but if it’s not comfortable I would go ahead and lengthen it. I’m knitting on a sweater now and I wasn’t sure about the length of the body. I thought that it might grow in blocking etc but watching your journey with your alpen glow I took a deep breath cut off my sewn bind off and I’m adding a few extra inches. I asked myself would it bother me if it was too long and as the answer was no I decided to go ahead and adjust it now.

[@zornjunctionyarncoyarn3259]

Great job capturing Rhinebeck

[@shetlandlace]

Re: your Alpenglow-the MOST important thing is that YOU are comfortable when you wear it. So..add, don't add-but make sure you are comfortable.

[@michele.the.quilter6174]

Thank you for this video. We went with our daughter about 10 years ago. It was a great day. She entered items as she lived nearby & won some ribbons! Recently, she has had Angora rabbits as pets. She always wears items that she has made too.

[@michellekitson5405]

Hi Natalie. Here in Western Australia we have a Wool and Fibre festival in Toodjay. it is a small country town about an hour and half drive from the Perth City. I have only been once many years ago as there wasn't hardly any Vendors there. Rhineback looked amazing. Thank you for taking us on your great weekend.

[@pathowes32]

Thanks for sharing Rheinbeck with us. Looks like you had a wonderful time

[@cmahoneybusi2000]

I love your sweater/hat combo and while the length doesn’t look bad at all…I’m that person that would 100% be tugging at it to pull it down!

[@lesliecorey6565]

This was really enjoyable especially Kent explaining your purchases. 😂 thank you for sharing!

[@s.k.8638]

Fantastic job! This was the closest I have ever come to all that Rhinebeck yarny excitement.

[@SonjasMaschensalat]

I am from Germany and I really enjoy watching Rhinebeck videos

[@alyssagoodrich]

Love Kent’s unboxing. So happy you kept that in

[@valtherizzle02]

Kingston is my hometown! I'm glad you had a great time!

[@Tinacrafts2]

By far the best and most organized vlog for the show. So kind of you to take us along, as many cannot attend for all kinds of reasons. 🥰

[@Knit1.Tea2]

Love listening to Kent show off your purchases he knows more than my husband would!

[@HollyTriedIt]

Loved Kent's explanations of things. And I love that he loves the team hats you are making him. I agree about finding a more accessible meetup location. I have a wheelchair that I need to use at times. But it would have been so difficult to use at Rhinebeck, so I left earlier than I wanted.

[@bexn5817]

You and your husband are adorable! This is such a fun video, I hope to attend this festival one day❤

[@mjennyt]

Had much fun meeting you (also really weird to see myself in the timelapse!). There is one more bathroom up between the barns as well!

[@KnittyNatty]

Ooh I didn't realise that. Thanks for the tip!

[@amysmillie7290]

Natalie you did an amazing job on the video capturing the Rhinebeck experience!!

[@zephyraK]

Thanks for giving an inside look on Rhinebeck, great to see! I agree on your alpenglow, it's too short. Although it is really pretty, you don't seem to feel comfortable in it, that would be reason enough to give it some extra length and be even more happy with it :).

[@angiemcdermid4845]

This west coast Canadian is not planning any Rhinebeck trips but thanks so much for taking us along.

[@bjh616]

You are, by far, the best Rhinebeck blogger out there!!! Your videos are very well done, not rushed, great commentary, great filming…. The list goes on.!! Excellent!!

[@CatFromFL]

Thank you for this vlog. I live in central FL but am from Kingston with cousins in Rhinebeck. My knitting sister still lives in Kingston so it was nice to tell her about the new yarn shop down by Ship to Shore.

[@judithvogel6729]

Best vlog about Rhinebeck that I have viewed. Your weekend seems like it was absolutely wonderful. Thanks for taking the time to bring us with you.

[@spinningmya]

Thank you for showing the map and pointing out key things. Maybe I’ll make it there one of these days.

[@JADufault21]

We lived at West Point for 4 years , 1980 to 1984. One of the nicest places my husband was assigned to in the 22 years he was in the Army.

[@chrissy24-7]

Fun to watch your adventures! Thank you for sharing and being so inclusive. 💜

[@bethpaschal7859]

Great video! Thank you Natalie and Kent

[@andrealandsburg8882]

All I can say is Thank you, thank you, thank you! That was so helpful...I think I could manage a trip...

[@rebekahroberts-powell2316]

Fabulous, I really enjoyed watching this, thank you for sharing your experience ❤

[@elizabethvanlenten9022]

This was an amazing video….I have never been to Rhinebeck but I will be going next year!!!! Can’t wait!

[@stitchystephanie]

We also ate at Ship to Shore and stopped in the new Kingston yarn store... two hours before you got there. I've also experienced the horrible traffic across the bridge, so much to my husband's delight, I made sure we were in the car by 3. Made it to Kingston in no time! Passing this on, because I'm already planning out how to optimize my time for next year...

[@janetjroberson2581]

Hello from Mounds Illinois. I really loved the knitted pants. I have never been to Rhinebeck , but went to Stitches Midwest and my first time. I saved for two years so I could buy anything that I wanted without having to worry that I spent too much money. Glad to see all the sights with you. One day I will get to go.

[@mariet7766]

Finally know what Rhinebeck is about, lovely and interesting video.

[@KnittyNatty]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@brighteststitcher6007]

It was so nice meeting you at cakepalooza - you're a delight and I loved your nurtured!

[@annee4193]

What a comprehensive and enjoyable vlog of your Rhinebeck experience. I loved that you kept Kent’s unboxing in it was funny in the best possible way 😂 he’s a keeper. I really loved the style, audio and camera steadiness, very professional job. Thank you ❤ I’m now wondering how I can get to the U.S. and visit various fibre festivals but also buy yarn AND get it back to Australia 🇦🇺

[@loriburklund9764]

It was so fun to see Rhinebeck! Thank you!

[@nancythomas1172]

Loved your recap! Rhinebeck had the perfect weather this year….the foliage was amazing! Thank you for such a thoughtful podcast! ❤️🌸🌺🥰 hope to see you next year!

[@hens-n-chicksfiberarts]

Good point about the accessibility of the hill ❤️

[@kendram7511]

Enjoyed your videos so much! I’m so glad to hear that you’ll make your meet up inclusive and accessible next year!

[@Marqaisa]

It looks like loads of fun. I like the project bag you got and the interchangable circ binder. Ooh I love brussel sprouts. Never had them fried before.

[@nancyprinsze4266]

Thank you for making these fantastic videos of your Rhinebeck experience. I have never been, and my husband and I are planning a trip there next year. I really felt like I was there and there is so much helpful information. I love your videos.

[@KnittyNatty]

Hooray! See you there next year!

[@victorialarson5246]

Thanks for the video! I loved your perspective and advice.

[@NancyLiedel]

This is so well done! Your personality and vision are wonderful.

[@gaildawkins9508]

I'm from the UK and have wanted to go to this show for years....your vlog has given me even more reason to set my plan in motion...great tips and advice...love Kent's acquisition descriptions...thanks so much🌞

[@TheWanderingPurl]

I enjoyed this *so* much! Thanks for taking us along with you all! Loving more Kent content! You two are so awesome together and love seeing your bond.

[@susancomstock933]

Loved your recap. It was so much fun being there Saturday. Wish I had seen you. Your alpenglow looks beautiful and I think the length fits your figure well. Thank you for your fun and informative videos.

[@orapronobis2149]

Thank you for doing this fun trip. I always thought Rhinebeck was in Europe only as I have been in Germany many times. But silly me it is such a fun time. I am such a novice and working up my first sock. The heel not so bad but the gussset, takes some mastering. Planning was essential I see. The dinner looked so good. What a great fine a yarn store and wine bar!!! I will start looking for local groups to maybe join in. Your experience and notes like taking an additional day to look around the town. Your husband did a fantastic job. Your new sales pitch guy! I think it would be interesting his take and encourage other guys to join in.

[@thehouseonhadleyknits102]

Thank You so much for sharing the Rhinebeck experience. A group of my Knitting friends attended this year but I couldn’t go. This was a great overview of what the experience is all about! Well Done!

[@cmaur811]

I go to Ship to shore all the time - thanks for the tip on new yarn store- how cool. Im new to your channel-i took classes everyday.Sunday is definitely the day to shop. Saturday I always hit the auction barn.

[@selfishknitter]

This is the best Rhinebeck vlog I’ve seen. Thank you for showing us more than the shopping. Also loved Kent’s descriptions of your purchases!

[@lindawagoner3331]

Thank you for sharing❤ looks like so much fun ❤😂

[@onesweetlife2469]

Wow! Such a fun yet comprehensive video!! (must be the teacher in you 😊) I’ve never been to Rhinebeck but now I have to go! Thanks for putting in the work for this video ❤

[@kathrynbakich3921]

You all are adorable. Thank you for your thoughtful words about accessibility. I recently had a medical problem that limits my mobility and i was shocked the festival website says nothing about accessibility.

[@rachelraye285]

I sincerely appreciate your two videos about this event as well as the other two. I know now that I can go as I am very nervous in large crowds. Thank you!

[@knithappy]

This was so fun!! Thank you!

[@Shannonknitspurrs]

Loved watching your video. I live about 30 minutes from Rhinebeck and we go every year. It was a beautiful day but super crowded. I would love to meet you next year!

[@mrswaltonk04]

OMgoodness I want that tool binder but she is of course sold out. I loved this video so much. I'm glad you and Kent had such a wonderful trip.

[@jenjf4knits913]

Great video! I really liked seeing some of the non traditional things like the food building. That looks really cool. We are hoping to go next year 🤞

[@sandracioffi4973]

You always present such a nice show -Thank you!

[@christinemorrison611]

Great pictures.

[@dianaemmick1811]

Thanks for sharing your fun adventures! Maybe one day I can make it there

[@annfuller7082]

Thanks for sharing!

[@jeannepien4565]

Thanks so much for sharing Rhinebeck with me. Your video was so informative. I hope I can make it the someday.

[@heathertucker7056]

I did enjoy this- both parts one and two! Rhinebeck looks amazing and I would love to visit! Thank you Natalie xx

[@KnittyNatty]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@Graceygoodies]

There are three bathrooms. The center one, there is one in the middle of the barns and then the other one by the main entrance, by first aid. I used my roller walker this year and had a lot of issues getting into the buildings or getting around. I left after only three hours on Saturday. I was exhausted and in pain. I only ever bring cash with me to these. some good tips for newcomers.

[@masz10676]

Great AV and info on Rhinebeck. Due to health won't b able to go so u did a great presentation on it. Rhinebeck should hire u for marketing.

[@stephanieburch4455]

Love this video so so much. The beautiful knitwear you wore, the amazing fall trees and seeing Kent in the video! It’s wonderful to have him as part of the content lately. You two are a great team!!

[@KnittyNatty]

Thank you so much!

[@streakyj2]

yes, do add an inch or 2 to your Alpenglow--you'll never need to tug at it. :-) . thx for the map--very helpful for us who haven't been but might go in the future, and so was the traffic report :-) .

[@knitwit2871]

I have the lantern moon needles & I actually love them so so much they’re up there with my chiaogoos for favorites!

[@christinemorrison611]

Thanks for sharing ❤

[@annettewiggins2220]

Thank you for the videos! You and Kent are great guides :-)

[@ellenailnknit4272]

Favorite part: Kent - "She'll make me another hat... ya know. Like this one... or the other ones? Idk..." SO good😂 The yarn is so good - thank you for sharing you experience with us

[@emilyfransen5666]

Wonderful video!

[@ihesharema]

I love the support from Kent. Reminds me of my husband 🥰. I’ve decided that I’m going next year 😊 so excited to meet you in person (hopefully I can see you sooner than later)

[@Lisa-vb3gn]

Thanks for the video! As far as your sweater goes, if you have to keep pulling your pants up and your sweater down it would appear that you’re not as comfortable as you could be in your outfit.

[@lisagenett3102]

Thank you for sharing! My husband and I are currently visiting NYC but did not make it to Rhinebeck, so it was nice to see your vlog. BTW, I love Kent’s explanation of your purchases 😂

[@mendezcher]

Omg Kent is so cute!! 😂 Seriously I do love how supportive he is…. Going with you and wearing your knitwear and shirts! It was so fun meeting you. I know it must seem strange to you because you’re on the other side of the camera but don’t forget, podcasts like yours have provided company for so many of us these past years. I can’t wait to catch up on the rest. 😊

[@beckyembree9371]

Natalie, my friend and I got to meet you at Rhinebeck and were so excited! We had the BEST day at Rhinebeck this year! It’s even more exciting to see me in your video waiting to meet you! 😂❤
