Rhinebeck Weekend 2023 Recap - Wool and Folk and NYS Sheep and Wool | Stitches and Starlight Podcast

[@twisteddyekitchenmyfiberjo4577]

What a pleasure it was, NOT to recap on the W&F fiasco. thank you for reminding us all how much fun it is to be with friends who share the same passion!

[@thegentleknitter]

"Leaping Lamas is our Super Bowl" had me laughing out loud. We stan Tiny Goat lol. I enjoyed your fun recap, especially since I couldn't attend this year. Fingers crossed for next year and I hope I get to meet you.

[@stitchesandstarlight]

Nicole! I would literally melt into a puddle of delight if I got to meet you - I am such a fan of you and your work and your podcast. I hope you’re resting and recovering well and really looking forward to seeing you back in this space when you’re ready.

[@biblioknitting9695]

The parade of animals and the leaping contest was so delightful! I love how much the crowd got into it, chanting for Tiny Goat

[@stitchesandstarlight]

Tiny Goat was an absolute delight and this crowd was perfect for watching the event. I’m so glad I got to see it and share a bit of it with you all.

[@lynnemoir8523]

And Gudrin Johnson!! Youn are so lucky to have met her!!!!!!!! Subscribed! with the belll!!

[@paulastoner499]

I watch Rhinebeck recaps specifically for the acquisitions. I get to see whats out there and where to shop for them. I'm also happy and excited when your happy and excited, so there is that, lol. I loved your energy. Had to subscribe.

[@stitchesandstarlight]

Thank you so much for giving the video a go and for choosing to stick around!

[@lynnemoir8523]

Finally!! A spinner!! I will never be able to travel to Rhinebeck, but years ago i always went to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival for fleece--and i still have my 1980's Traveller Spinning wheel. I live in the so-called country now (moved from the D.C area to the Shenandoah Valley) and haven't been able to find a shepherd offering handspinning fleeces for sale. You're lucky to live in New York!!!!

[@tracyaa1081]

I appreciate your real but gracious comments on W & F. Frankly, I am tired of the extreme negative. Thanks for sharing your adventurous weekend with us. Always a pleasure to watch your podcasts

[@stitchesandstarlight]

I think there’s a lot to be said about it and a lot that has already been said and I wanted to share my experience but also bring the same kind of energy I always bring to my space - hopelessly optimistic - so I couldn’t not find the good in the day and couldn’t not find something to smile about when it was over.

[@craftyashleyg]

I just love seeing you and your husband! Ya'll are the best! Love ya! By the way if you ever want more sari silk I have tons in tons of colors. Let me know! HUGS!

[@stitchesandstarlight]

Oh I’ll be sure to send you a message - I would love some! Also hey friend, hope this kept you company while you were spinning up something lovely.

[@KellyJoy206]

I’m just over 8 minutes and I appreciate the D20 reference! Some “hell-yeah” energy here!

[@stitchesandstarlight]

I love when a nerd finds me in the wild - the Venn diagram continues to collapse into a single circle 😎😎

[@KellyJoy206]

@@stitchesandstarlight and what a glorious single circle it will be!

[@JillianEve]

What a great time! I'm giving you a squishy hug from afar so thank you for bringing us with you! 💜💜💜

[@stitchesandstarlight]

Thank you so much for watching and commenting - I had a solid weekend overall and I was more than happy to share ❤️❤️

[@mimiknitswithlove3273]

First time watching your channel - what a pleasure it's been. Tastefully covered the debacle that was W&F (I wasn't there, but it needs to be addressed, and wrongs righted) and I cried happy tears watching the all the joy you shared. And those leaping critters!! Made my day. Thank you, and I'll be keeping up with you going forward. I'm an old retired lady with lots of time to watch these podcasts while knitting for my grandbabies!! (And myself, too, but don't tell anyone LOL) edited to add: I live 12 miles from Mitchell Wool Co. I proudly wear the "Ewe Gotta be Knitting Me" sweatshirt!

[@stitchesandstarlight]

That is the other shirt I absolutely have to have! I’m hoping to snag them in a few weeks so I have a rotating closet of punny wool shirts. Welcome to the fiber family! I hope you enjoy the wool chaos and fiber joy and I hope you stick around ❤️❤️❤️

[@delindafree8731]

When you slipped in the Dimension 20 reference, you made me realize I want my d&d and knitting communities to merge! I'm always knitting at sessions and people don't think I'm paying attention until I suddenly sprinkle a bit of stealth chaos. I'm going to have to find a fiber obsessed D&D group now so I can be around people who understand :)

[@stitchesandstarlight]

Or you can just convert your existing D&D group to fiber people!

[@StudioJunctuur]

Thank you for your new videos, it's a pleasure to hear you talk about the wool chaos and sharing your knowledge and tips.Good to have you back. Take care and thanks again!!

[@GirlScoutLoriC]

Your fleeces look so scrumptious! When I started spinning, I had zero interest in processing raw fleece. My needle is definitely moving in the direction of raw fleece. I am so intrigued by all of the natural color variation and how that spins up. I hope we get to see Sugar and Devines yarn someday...

[@stitchesandstarlight]

I started very much the same way and then a friend shared a sample with me and I haven’t looked back!

[@katheard262]

You doing you is such a pleasure to watch. Love your kind spirit 💜💙 Thank you for sharing your life and talent 😘

[@sarabelle0312]

Omg. I LOVED the animal parade & show! I didn't know they did that! I can't wait to go one day & get squishy hugs from everyone 😊

[@stitchesandstarlight]

There are SO MANY animal related events and fiber competitions at Rhinebeck, and so much more to see than just people and yarn. I was really glad I got to film one of them to share.

[@marniebush3977]

Thank you for sharing, especially for those of us who couldn't attend and have never gone. I love that you found the good in each day, even with the challenges. You and Andrea Mowry have enticed me to spin. That adventure will begin soon. You're a joy and I hope that some day I can meet you so you can squish my face. 🧶

[@stitchesandstarlight]

I’m so glad you enjoyed the video and I do hope you give spinning a go - it brings me endless joy!

[@dreareneeknits]

I loved watching this recap almost as much as I loved getting a few moments together during RB! Thank you for my precious skein of handspun and I'll see you here and on Insta until we meet again in the real world!

[@stitchesandstarlight]

It was such a joy to meet you and to give you so many hugs. I’m just so pleased that we got to hang out and I’m looking forward to seeing what you do with your giant fleece!

[@ShanaH414]

Maybe it's because I grew up in the 80s but there's nothing better than a montage!

[@carmeslynn]

Good morning Tazhi, I was excited when I woke up and saw your new episode for Rhinebeck had posted. I continually know I'll be entertained when you broadcast while I'm kntting.Your vegan word soup is ALWAYS a hoot! Thank you for being youNow that I have finished watching I'm exhausted after trying to process everything you commented on as it feels like I was catching bullets out of a machine gun!!!!!!! I couldn't go to Rhinebeck but maybe next year I'll make the quest. There is nothing like it on the west coast. Sounds silly but I have a really hard time leaving my 2 border collie boys for a week. I love my pups like my kids! They keep me company while I knit. I was able to knit 22 rows of a 72 count stitch sock while I followed along with your vlog. Pretty productive for English style knitting. Have a nice rest of Sunday and hope you are having fun spinning your new bundles of wool roving. Can't wait to see what you do with them! Ciao baby! Carrie from the Northern Calif Bay Area. 😘❤🐈‍⬛🐑🍵🧵🪡🧶

[@stitchesandstarlight]

Hey, that’s super productive! Glad the wool chaos could keep you company while you were working on your sock.

[@juanitavandekamp2396]

Always good to see you when we see you. Tiny goat was so cute. Much love 💕

[@beverleylawton6899]

Thank you for this wonderful video! You put so much producing it and I appreciate you. I’ve never been to a wool event/festival so this was great to see. I think I would have struggled to cope with all the people etc. Thank you again - I’ve so enjoyed catching up with you whilst recovering in bed from a night of being sick. 😊🙏

[@daniellebissonnette3304]

I was very happy to meet and hug you at Rhinebeck. It was my first time there, and I was like a kid in a candy store. I am very very new to spinning, and I credit my enabler - my daughter who came with me - and you for inspiring me to get started. We drove all the way from Montreal and it was a great experience to get to see all of the fleeces. My daughter bought a black Shetland lamb raw fleece and we also bought some clean fleeces, one crossbreed and one Bond fleece that we are splitting. I also bought an Eel Wheel 6 e-spinner, which I have been having a lot of fun with since I got back. There were so many other things I wanted to buy, but the e-spinner blew my allowance (only 800 CAD to be duty-free)... Which is both a curse and a blessing, since I currently have limited storage space for fleeces. Next year, I will fill the car with spindles, fleeces and hand-dyed fibers to spin 😊

[@stitchesandstarlight]

I’m so glad you had a good experience and you snagged an espinner! The EEW6 is a great spinner and I use mine all the time so I hope you love yours as much as I love mine. Thanks so much for saying hi and for the super squishy hug!

[@nekokohi]

I swear the decompressing on Sunday has become my new favorite thing ❤ also those fleeces are perfection

[@stitchesandstarlight]

I find Sunday to be my favorite day of the weekend and I will never skip that easy and slow day with the sheep and all of the showed.

[@amivice5499]

YAY!! Was so awesome meeting you and Joshua!! I am wicked excited about this shawl-along!! Happy Belated Birthday! 🎉❤

[@stitchesandstarlight]

It was very nice to meet you as well!

[@arunikahelio9289]

I really enjoy watching you. And I can relate with a lot of things you say. Thank you for showing your light and shining it forward Well

[@altemosemc]

Your recap is by far my favorite! Well edited with calming music - a pleasure to watch. You probably don't remember but I did get to meet you very briefly on Saturday - Thank you for taking the time to say hi on your way to hunt for spindles. I hope you found what you were looking for 😊

[@Craftynumbernerd]

I just found you and your personality is amazing! I’m about to binge all I can. Thanks for your voice.

Thank you so much, Janet! It really was a wonderful weekend and I’m so glad I got to share that.

You were adorable both days, the cardigan was AMAZING! It was so great meeting you and also fleece shopping with Andrea, how do you say no? You can't!

Thank you so much and I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I’m going to live in it all fall and winter long and I cannot wait.

[@teripersing]

So fun “visiting” Rhinebeck with you!!

[@janinekenyon9057]

This is such a beautiful lovely account of your experience! I so so appreciated the footage of the sheep / tiny goat and alpaca jumping 😂 I absolutely loved the entire video but that you included just that little extra, made my day! Thank you 😊

[@stitchesandstarlight]

The animals are part of what make Rhinebeck a delight for me so I had to include them in the video - the leaping llama show is a hoot!

[@mariecarter3138]

Great summary! It felt like a whirlwind and I appreciate the focus on the positives without sugarcoating what wasn’t phenomenal. Happy Autumn!

[@stitchesandstarlight]

Thank you - that was really the goal, to balance the good and the bad and to tell a complete story and I’m glad you thought so.

[@kristanlynn]

Watching the goats. ❤❤❤ Just pausing to say THANK you so much for recording all of this and putting it all together.

[@stitchesandstarlight]

Of course! I was more than happy to do it and I’m so glad you enjoyed the episode.

My first time here. LOVE your energy!! ❤

This is the first vlog ive watched of many thats showing the animals / jumping event and I LOVE it. Feels like being there. Plus non-superwash content! Instant sub.

[@stitchesandstarlight]

I’m so glad you found multiple things to love here and I hope you enjoy your time here! Welcome to the fiber fam.

It was so much fun seeing Rhinebeck through your eyes.

[@sues4370]

The Nash Island yarn is beautiful, I've added it to my list!

[@donnaortolan609]

Great episode! I've missed you and your enthusiasm and I'm glad you're back. I also follow you on Instagram, but really enjoy your company while I work on something :) Enjoy your purchases! And don't stay away so long next time, lol. xo

[@knittingpossect]

Your videos are beautiful, the producer did some good work there! 😉 It was nice to see you (and meet your husband) at W&F because like you, that event was all about the people for us. I was laughing to myself during your Saturday Rhinebeck montage as I believe in your last podcast you specifically asked people to pull you out of the fleece barn..."they are both so small, so small." 🤣Can't wait to see your beautiful creations! -Kate

[@stitchesandstarlight]

It was very nice to see you again and I’m hoping to see you guys at VKL in a few months and maybe properly hang out this time.

[@hebulanebula]

First time here. Basically typed in Rhinebeck 2023, to see everyone who went, and all their experiences.. after this video, I will check out your normal content too. I love all the things 🧶🍁☀️🎶🐾☮️🌱💫

The first thing that I want to say, is that I love love love your copper colored Locs! Lol I know I almost always comment on your beautiful hair. But I am here for the knitting content too, 😉and I appreciate the classy recap.😊

[@stitchesandstarlight]

Thank you so much for the compliment! I’ve wanted to dye my locs for forever and since we’re coming up on 5 years, that felt like a great way to celebrate!

[@stitchedvintage]

Just finished watching. You did so good sticking to your plans! The two fleece were small so they don’t even count. 😆 Your energy, as always is so contagious. So glad you enjoyed your weekend. So so deserved.

[@stitchesandstarlight]

Thank you so much, friend! I’m really glad you enjoyed it and really glad I could share some of that joy.

[@ihesharema]

It was sooooo amazing seeing so many of my favorite KZbin lovies in 1 video ❤❤. So hoping I can make it to NY Sheep & Wool next year 🎉

There’s always 2024 and tons of time to plan the trip if it’s feasible for you!

Thank you so much and welcome to the fiber family! I hope you enjoy your time here.

[@mereina2193]

Thank you so much for this lovely video and for sharing your experiences! Every time I watch, I’m inspired to try something new…never did I think I needed a fleece until I saw your Shetland lambs! Can you share the name of the shepherd? Thank you and can’t wait to see how they spin up ❤

[@stitchesandstarlight]

The bag only had her name and her email so I’ll try to send her a message to try to get this information for you.

What fantastic company you are & I look forward to watching all of your videos…AND you look like meeeeee🤭 AND you love yarn🤭…this is gonna be great!! Thanks also for the recap on the Rhinebeck weekend I hope to attend one day. Have a great week okay…hailing from FL☀️🌴

Soooo lovely to meet you! What a cool experience the whole event was! Also, defo didn’t charter a plane - Anastasia is a pilot for a budget airline and I flew on a friends & family standby ticket 😂😂

[@stitchesandstarlight]

Hahaha this is probably a much more practical take on the story I told but also it’s still really cool and I stand by my comments!

[@PK-knits]

Loved the recap!! Jealous of your trucker hat! I got dreads about two years ago and now my already big head is too big for most hats 😂 Do you find that you have to knit a larger size? I’m living that XL head life 🧢 Greatly enjoy your content and your beautiful energy. 🌟

[@stitchesandstarlight]

I always knit the largest hat size available - my head with my hair has a 25” circumference and if there isn’t a large enough size, I just size up my needles so there’s a bit more fabric to go around.

[@beateervin1772]

I love reliving the festival through everyone’s videos. This was the first year I went with friends. I usually go with my husband. It was a really different experience. It was such an amazing weekend.

[@frankopotamusknits]

I enjoyed this so much- thank you for sharing!! Also, you inspired me to buy my first fleece at a local festival a couple weeks ago: a little Shetland named “nutmeg”!

[@deborahhawe4432]

Thank you for showing so much grace about your weekend. I love the tshirt you’re wearing! I’d love to purchase one if it’s to support you!

[@stitchesandstarlight]

It’s actually by the Starlight Knitting Society out in the PNW - I met them at VKL and it felt very serendipitous so I had to have it.

[@noelleparris9451]

I'm just finding you today after having seen you in other podcasters' recaps. You're a live one 👏🏾 and I really enjoyed your montage, comments and take on the weekend. Looking forward to catching up on your past episodes!

[@stitchesandstarlight]

Welcome to the fiber family! I hope you enjoy the wool chaos and fiber joy ❤️❤️❤️

[@SoulfulSpinning]

Thanks for sharing all the fiber fun. What a pretty cottage you all stayed at! You know 2 little Shetland lamb fleeces hardly count at all when it comes to fleece acquisitions. 😉 I give you a lot of credit for showing such restraint amidst all the wool fumes. That Shetland book must come my way soon. I loved the cardi that Gudrun was wearing. Can’t wait to see what pattern you’re thinking of knitting. Take care, Tazhi. 😘

[@stitchesandstarlight]

Lisa! So good to see you here and thanks so much for watching. I’m really looking forward to getting into these Shetland fleeces and knitting up a project from the book, it was such a treat to meet Gudrun and the patterns in the book are quite lovely.

[@KnitandGrace]

Oh what a joy it was to see you and share time with you all weekend! Honestly, the best chaos that has ever occurred. ❤

[@stitchesandstarlight]

It was such a treat to spend the weekend with you and I’m so glad I got to bask in your light for a bit.

[@nathalieschlosser1622]

This was the perfect video to watch while flicking locks of my cvm fleece that i bought last weekend! What an amazing time! It was so wonderful to finally meet you! I totally did the same thing in the Bohlayer's orchards booth with their roving. Its so good! I got an 8oz bundle as well and was totally thinking a shawl, so...SALKAL yes? shawl knitting and wearing is my favorite, so lets make it happen!

[@stitchesandstarlight]

I’m so glad we got to squish each other finally after talking for so long! Your cardigan looked so good and so did your CVM fleece. And yes, yes please to a SALKAL for a shawl. Something squishy and textured please?

[@jillenastevens3713]

Loved this!!! I’m so excited for the Gudrun KAL. So nice to meet you and the executive producer 😊

[@stitchesandstarlight]

It was beyond nice to meet you and I’m so glad I got to admire your lovely knits in person! (I’m a bit of a fan, can you tell? 🥰🥰)

[@bigblackdogfiberarts]

Divine really lived up to its name! Absolutely gorgeous to look at and feel. Looking forward to seeing which pattern y’all chose for the kal. I’ll admit that the chances I actually participate are slim. Too many things queued up to add more anytime soon, but it’s nice to dream of all the things. :D

[@stitchesandstarlight]

I’m really looking forward to getting into this fleece and I think I’ll be washing it up this week!

i love shawls, knit for beauty, color, softness and math, then chaotically wear it however. crescents are my favorite shape

[@stitchesandstarlight]

I’m really hoping to actually make it happen. I’m thinking an easy garter stitch to work my way up to stockinette and texture but I want a squishy thing around my neck.

[@elizabethbradley7794]

Try something like a design called Groovy, by Annie Baker…simple but really great looking, interesting and a no brainer to knit, so it let’s your beautiful yarn shine

this is the only Rhinebeck video so far that has given me FOMO 🙂--what a wonderful place you-all were staying in!. i don't like big crowds; some of my local [way the hell north in NYS] knitter friends & i have gone a few times to the Adk Wool & Craft show in Greenwich [Washington Co fairgrounds] and loved it--smaller than NYS S & W, lots of sock yarn, some indie dyers, lots of bags/tchochke, and even a few distillers if you like that sort of thing [we do]. it's usually the last weekend of Sept. ...your yellow swtr looks great walking around! ...thx for explaining--i wondered why you had whipped cream on your french fries :-))) .

[@stitchesandstarlight]

I’m so glad you enjoyed the episode! I fully believe Rhinebeck is what you make it and I always manage to have a good time and find lots of animals to squish and see. It can be a bit crowded but there are plenty of places to duck and hide in if you need a breather.

[@streakyj2]

@@stitchesandstarlight "plenty of places to ...hide"--good to know! thx 🙂

[@linr8260]

I want to go to a wool festival so bad, it looks like so much fun, but accessibility issues are definitely a great fear, especially when it's so common to find out when it's too late :( Those fleeces look amazing though 👀 I hope you have fun with them. (Also has anyone told you you look great in hats?)

[@stitchesandstarlight]

I think NYS Sheep and Wool proper is pretty accessible for folks with mobility impairments and there are plenty of places to duck into if you need a moment to take a breather and escape the crowds and overstimulation. The smaller satellite events are hard to vouch for but I think Rhinebeck proper could be a place to start if you can get to it! Also, hats are my favorite thing and I have a million of them for a reason 😎😎😎

Ooh, where will you be destashing your support spindles? I picked up my first drop spindle and started my first spinning project, but I find that I keep basically supporting my spindle instead of spinning it freely. So I'm thinking about picking up an actual supported spindle to see how I like that.

[@stitchesandstarlight]

I don’t know just yet - I’ll probably do it through Instagram but I’ll share on the podcast when I’m ready to do it with the date and time so that everyone has a chance to grab one if they’re looking.

[@jeannepien4565]

I so enjoyed your video. Could you please share the pattern for I believed you said the Coffee House Cardigan? It looked lovely! Thank you!

[@stitchesandstarlight]

It’s the Coffeehouse Cardigan by Alicia Plummer. I’ll be sharing my thoughts and all about my finished object in the next podcast episode for continuity.

[@jeannepien4565]

Can’t wait to see your next podcast!

[@colkinsey6923]

Did you happen to get the pattern name for the crocheted sweaters worn by Emily and Mya (sp?)

[@stitchesandstarlight]

After we finished recording, Emily and Maya shared that the pattern wasn’t size inclusive and didn’t want to share it because of that fact and I really appreciated that.

[@teresawagoner1469]

Which spindles and where are you going to destash? After months of watching you I want to try spinning now 🤦🏽

[@stitchesandstarlight]

I’ll be destashing some support spindles on Instagram in a few weeks. It’s the easiest way for me to get it done that won’t require me to put in a bunch of effort.
