my favorite pic from Rhinebeck

I was coming out of Building A, the legendary home of The Fold [Socks that Rock central] and Grafton Fibers. I met this crew on the way in.

Stephanie did say the words written above her head...and from the looks on the faces of the other three, I think I've captured their mood well. Note Juno's hand, which speaks volumes. Julia and Cassie were equally eager.

I couldn't blame them. It was an amazing weekend, with -- this year -- perfect weather. Not on the way there or the way home, but that never counts, does it?

More later. I'm totally fried. Jillian and Carla are, at this moment driving home the rest of the way to Michigan, so no whining from me. When I'm conscious, pictures and stories. And a movie I took at the Morehouse farm of the gentleman farmer feeding the legendary merinos.

Like I said, amazing.

Comments:

It was a pretty damn great weekend. Looking forward to the pics and stories. Sorry we didn't make it to Morehouse Saturday night, but by the time we got out of the parking lot and figured stuff out we were already several miles down the road in the wrong direction. And fried ourselves.

Sounds awesome! Can't wait to hear about it and see all the pics.

By what I've heard so far, I am going to have to go next year. I won't be able to resist.

It was fantastic to finally meet you, lady. Have you ever seen anything like that blogger meet-up? Pure craziness of the happiest kind.

See you next year!

so there we sat, Mel and I on the ground.
Is this where it is, the blogger meet-uo?
Did we get the right place? 5 mins. later, it was raining bloggers, and my god you could feel , taste, and see "THE LOVE". It was magic, like a love-in from the 60's.

Can't wait to see more, though, you're right, this one picture is *priceless*. I hate to even put it into words, but I'm not going to be able to even go next year (I'll probably be in Russia). Year after that...?? *Whimper*.

Weeeeeee. That shot is hilarious. I can't believe they're standing in order from tallest to shortest too. Just out of curiosity...did they maul you moments after the shot was taken, or just disappear quickly into the crowd?

Great photo! Too bad you did not snag someone to take the picture so you could be in it too. I know I would have wanted to help. :)

Love the blog and the pictures of NYS Wool and Sheep show AND my home away from home, Morehouse Farm. I have the great joy of living in Rhinebeck and am only minutes away from some of the most beautiful wool ever spun! Thanks for coming to the Hudson Valley and showing the kintting world how beautiful it is!
