The Rhinebeck Recap video I said I wasn't going to make - my 1st sheep & wool festival ~ 2024

[@daniellejohnson3364]

Great recap of your day and experience, what a score on the Lamb’s Pride Yarn! Your choices for the cowl are beautiful 😍 Thanks for commenting on my video, it’s how I found you! ❤

[@AdventurerKnits]

Yay! I’m so glad we’ve found each other. I haven’t mentioned it yet, but I’m going on my first knitting retreat, speaking of, and that the one in Santa Fe, NM with Gudrun Johnston. I’m a new knitter this year…I started in March, so it’s a big step for me!

[@daniellejohnson3364]

@ that’s so awesome!! You’re going to have an amazing time, I just know it! I’m taking a hap class with Gudrun at a shop in RI in a few weeks. I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting her before, but have all of her books.

Your Rhinebeck adventure recap is delightful. I am glad you had a lovely time. I would be a solo traveler, also.

[@AdventurerKnits]

Thanks for that feedback! Solo travelers unite!

[@lindseyreads5450]

It sounds like such a fun festival!

[@AdventurerKnits]

It really is. The emphasis on the animals is really the special aspect.

[@ColoradoKnitter]

Loved your recap ❤

[@AdventurerKnits]

Thanks!

[@beverlybryce7591]

Love your Jameson and Smith color choices. Stunning! I enjoyed your recap video. I really would like to go to the Shetland islands and see the sheep, meet the people and shop. I can’t wait to see your finished cowl!

[@AdventurerKnits]

Beverly, oh wouldn’t that be wonderful?

[@karchermakes]

Looking forward to seeing your cowl!

[@AdventurerKnits]

Thanks! I just picked up some alpaca to hold with the first color which will be my first time doing that!

[@lillylane8832]

Great to see your perspective of Rhinebeck! I've never been, but as an introvert, I could see myself hanging out with the animals too😊 I have used Woolly Thistle's Jamieson and Smith yarn before and I loved it! You might also like Rauma Finullgarn. After I learn how to knit sweaters, those are the yarns that I will go back to. They have a great body to them without being too rough, and they do colorwork like a dream. Enjoy!

[@AdventurerKnits]

Lilly, thanks for the recommendation. I’ve been thinking about trying out Finullgarn. I see it listed on the Whoolly Thistle website and I love to hear them talking about the yarns on their podcast!

[@caseywagner9484]

I was there too! Definitely an overstimulating experience but so worth it!

[@AdventurerKnits]

That’s for sure! Were there any vendors high on your list?

[@virginiaanderson8875]

What a wonderful days to go, weather - looked wonderful and those colorful trees - I would love to go sometime, but not close to SC😉glad it worked out so well for you!!

[@AdventurerKnits]

It was a beautiful day and place. We love SC! In particular, Greenville. And my husband’ parents are in the Charleston area. 🥰

I love the Moon yarn shop in Bellevue!!! My son and daughter in law live across the street from her shop in Bellevue!!! Although we live in Richmond Virginia, we travel to Pittsburgh often.

[@AdventurerKnits]

Joy, We love Richmond by the way. How fun that you know the area and the shop! Bellevue is really doing some good things with that Main Street! If you’re ever visiting and are going to pop in the shop, let me know. I’d love to meet you there if the timing works! You probably know she has wonderful crafting events ….theres one this weekend . People come and go with their craf, sitting and staying for awhile. Thanks for watching!

[@Knit.Purl.Repeat]

Love the recap! I agree..so much you want to share. I also traveled solo and it's probably one of the few places I have been where you are alone but don't feel alone or awkward. I recognize you and am sure I saw you there or maybe elsewhere as well--probably the Woolly Thistle connection. Definitely make the Cloud Drift cowl--I did and it was perfect for the weather there and fun to knit with so many color options. I missed a lot of vendors my first year--you walk right by because it's so busy Saturday--do a Sunday when you can get into the booths.Thanks for sharing!

[@AdventurerKnits]

Thanks for all the feedback. I’m just watching your two videos now and how fun. That Cloud Drift. 🥰

[@Knit.Purl.Repeat]

@@AdventurerKnits 🙂Thanks! I am no expert 😂 but it's all good fun sharing our experiences. This community is the best.

[@meadowsweetfarmfiberartsdesign]

OMG…. I just found your channel!! I live in Hickory Pa… about 45 minutes south of Pittsburgh. My daughter lives and works in Shadyside!! I have a channel too. Thanks for the recap.. I have attended Maryland Sheep and Wool… for years but I have not been to Rhinebeck ❤

[@AdventurerKnits]

Ah it’s so nice to meet you! It’s such a small world, isn’t it? Do you have a favorite yarn shop in your area? I’m glad to know about your channel!

[@meadowsweetfarmfiberartsdesign]

@ Hello Yes There are several Off hand I don’t know the names but there is one in Bridgville and one in Swickley and Ross Farms in Washington Pa Do you belong to a guild or knitting group?

[@AdventurerKnits]

I don’t. I’ve gone to just a couple knit nights or gatherings locally, trying to find my fit. I do like Moon & Yarn Craft Room in Bellevue. Unfortunately Sewickley doesn’t have a regular knit night.

[@meadowsweetfarmfiberartsdesign]

@@AdventurerKnits I am putting the finishing touches on a fiber arts studio on my farm. I will be teaching a variety of fiberyyy crafts -spinning weaving knitting-/and most likely a knitting group if you are interested . There are local guilds in the area too

[@AdventurerKnits]

Oh how fun!

[@zena-knittingbeans7973]

Oh so lucky! On my bucket list living in UK maybe one day. #junctionfibremill would be my top visit. New here hi 😀 Did watch your book channel but had to back off of the book channels as got rather overwhelmed resubscribed now tho 👏

[@AdventurerKnits]

Ah, thank you Zena! I know what you mean! I’m glad you’re here. I love the junction Fiber Mill youtube channel! What a nice group and their yarn!
