Rhinebeck List

As you may know, this weekend is Rhinebeck's Sheep and Wool Festival. We'll be out of here at the ass crack of dawn whether these men of mine like it or not. Today is filled with packing, laundry and getting my shopping list together. Here's what I've got so far.

1. Sanguine Gryphon - My new found love will be there and I need some Eidos. That's they yarn I'm working with currently and love it beyond words. I actually thought it had silk in it because it's so soft and luxurious. My bestie, Megan, asked me to make her a scarf and we picked out the pattern Balustrade which is made with a silk blend and I'm hoping that SG will have something I can use for this.

2. The Fold - They're the vendor that carries Blue Moon Fiber Arts yarns and I'll be looking for some Socks That Rock yarn there. The line is usually really long here so I'm hoping I hit it during a lull.

3. Needle Vendors - I need a pair of 0 dpns and I'd love to give a try to Signature needles.

And because I have two teenaged boys with me, who eat as many meals as a Hobbit, we will be hitting

4. Food Vendors - Any and all especially the ones serving lamb. Hope they know my sons are coming and they're ready for them.

Hobbits eat seven meals a day: breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses, luncheon, afternoon tea, dinner and supper. This does not include snacks.

They got nothing on my boys.

So jealous! Have a fantastic time. I know you will.

I love the juxtaposition of eating lamb while seeing all the sheep in the barns, and the yarn in the booths. The circle of life!
