sheep & wool
last weekend we went up to the NY sheep & wool festival in rhinebeck. i love this place and usually pilgrimage with my knitting friends. this year it was more of a family affair - i hung out with munchkin and also tried to hunt down some wild-goose-chase-yarn (matching an impossible-to-match color for a project i ran out of yarn for before completing). sad conclusion: i didn't find any, but i have a plan B, plus my knitting friend found a vendor who had yarn in a similar shade who is willing to try dyeing a batch to match, so that's plan B now and the other plan B has been moved to C status.
the weather was supposed to be rainy/snow (yes, very cold), but it turned out to be a gorgeous day if a bit cold. all the better to show off some knitwear!
nathaniel had fun with the animals there. it was funny to hear him declare "dog!" when he saw the llamas. sadly, i missed out on his hanging out with the sheep & goats because i was busy chasing down the impossible yarn. dan said at one point he was playing peekaboo with the goat and everyone around him was dying, it was so cute.
