Rhinebeck Update (better late than never...)

So, this post is a bit late but...here are my pics from Rhinebeck's Sheep & Wool Festival!
First let me start with the beautiful fall colors...

My fleece friends that make it all happen...

A broom demonstration (which I've never caught before)...

(I love this pic,see all the straw in mid air as he cuts it)




Me hanging out with my friends...

An awesome sand castle ...

and last but certainly not least, my goodies...

Since it's a little hard to tell what I purchased, here's a list;
1. Cowlgirls (book of cowl patterns) by Cathy Carron   2. A renewal subscription to WildFibers   3. Stitch markers from Waters Edge Jewelry (I bought them for the knit charms to add to #4)   4. A knit themed charm bracelet from   5. Three pins (they say: I'm a naughty knitter, Will knit for wine and Rhinebeck Rocks and a bumper sticker that says If knitting were exercise you could bounce a quarter off my ass  6. Yarn from Shel B. & Anita (iloveyarn.com) in green 7. a Pattern from Helen Hamann for the cork screw scarf     and 7. Fearful Symmetry Sock kit from Tsarina of Tsocks.
I guess that should keep me busy for a while right?

Can't Wait!!!!!

I am SOooooooo excited!!!!!

Of course, this year the NYS sheep/wool fest is Oct. 16&17 but...you get the general idea.

What's On The Needles?

Well...I'm almost finished with a cowl to keep my sweetie's neck warm...

A pair of two toned socks for me...

And then a sock mate for the previous pair I was working on for myself... 

I also have some knitting projects I need to start for my etsy shop so basically, I feel as though I've knit myself into a corner with all these projects. I don't know what pair of needles to pick up first. I need to prioritize...unfortunately my socks can wait. Since it's getting colder by the minute and as it's almost done, the cowl should come first. Then I need to crank out some shop items. At that point, I should be able to sit back and finish the socks. Unless I start more projects of course. My new mantra shall be 'finish before starting new knits' . 

Testing,Testing, 1... 2... 3

O.K, so I think I may have figured out the problem...needed to put all my pics in picasa, then select the ones I want to post on blog. I kinda figured this out by pure accident but whatever, just so glad I don't have to relocate my blog...at least for the moment. Hopefully I will be glitch free from now on.

The above pics are of the items I now have in my etsy store. Sadly, I didn't realize that my pics were too large for etsy's format so they are a bit blurry. One day it will all come together for me and I will laugh at how pathetic I once was. Or at least this is how I figure it in my head, we shall see...

I've decided that the first person who follows me (officially by clicking the option on the right) will get a free gift (handmade item) from me. At the moment I don't know if there is anyone out there even reading this but I promise to keep my word no matter how long it takes. This offer has no experation date!   

Where's the pic?

It's been a while and yet there is still a problem loading pictures onto my blog. All I have to say is;
Thanks Blogger! Thanks for nothing! At this point I have no urge to continue to post anything new without a photo so until I can get this thing resolved (and keep in mind, I may have to move my whole blog) you probably will not be hearing from me for a while. To all those who stop by, stay well and I will be in touch soon.
