And we’re off!
October 19, 2007
I packed too much yarn and not enough clothing last night.
I tossed the antique wheel in the car* this morning. It’s going to visit Dave for a little TLC. On the way to daycare, Little Man decided to play with the wheel. Testing his knowledge, I said:
Mafia: Little Man, can you point to the flyer?
Little Man: Here it is.
Mafia: Ummmm. [gulp] Can you put it back now?
Little Man: Yeah, sure Mom.
[and he did. properly!]
Danielle and I are hitting the road at 4pm. We’re meeting up with my Mom, who’s newly enthralled with needle felting. If you see this bag, you’ve found me.
Watch out Rhinebeck! Here we come! And for all those who promised to buy me an alcoholic bevvie this weekend, consider it a date. See you in a few hours!
* Please give Danielle some extra props because she and her wonderful husband insisted (and I really mean insisted) that I borrow his car so I can get home from grad school at 10pm instead of 12-midnight. Apparently they think I “have a few things going on” and could benefit from getting some sleep. It’s an incredibly generous gesture and I’m eternally grateful. Meanwhile, my car shopping is bolstered by some excellent suggestions from Cheryl, the queen of the late-model luxury car. In fact, go see Cheryl’s Imogen. It’s stunning!

Have fun at Rhinebeck and don’t think about anything else while you’re there. Promise!

Enjoy Rhinebeck and everyone there!
Best of luck with the car hunt and totally, absolutely skip the Ford Focus. Not enough room in the back seat for Little Man and a wheel and we already had to replace the front passenger side linkage before we even hit 40,000km. Not a good sign.

Have a great time. Fiber folk and the surrounding fiber can be incredibly therapeutic. Are you sure you can’t go to Fiber Twist next weekend?

Amen to Danielle! What a gal. Nice to have good friends in life’s good and less than good times.
And, let’s hear it for Little Man’s brilliance!

Have a terrific time! Love the bird bag. Retro AND contemporary. And… thanks for the lead to Seedstitch. Holy smoke that’s a pretty sweater and wonderful photography.

With most other people, I am experiencing some serious Rhinebeck Envy. You, however, are welcome to my entire share of the Rhinebeck goodness in addition to your own. I hope you have an amazing, wonderful time.
And btw? That is seriously the most HHHHAWESOME bag I think I have ever seen. I want to cuddle up to my monitor so I can get closer to it.

Have one for me!
Bevie that is, not fiber. Fiber I got, beer I need.

Well, I missed you and Danielle at Rhinebeck, maybe some other fiber event…or when you are in Northampton.

Hey!!! It was *great* to meet you and hang out at Rhinebeck or rather the hotel. Did you get that ball of tensioned wool rewound?? I thought of another reason for rewinding it ROFL - if left as is? The yarn is probably pretty stretched out and your tension will change I bet once the garment is washed. Which maybe doesn’t matter depending on what you knit…
anyway - it was great to meet you and hey! Drop me an email
