Rhinebeck 2009 Photos - How Cheesey Can You Get?
Rhinebeck Sheep and Wool Festival 2009 - a very important question needed to be answered . . .
What do I have to do so I don’t have the same old photos of sheep and yarn? (Because I already have plenty of photos of that from past Rhinbeck trips.)
Answer: Raise the cheese factor!
I need me some lamb sausage!
Aaaaarumppphhh!
Wall-o-wool
I’m sporting Sarah Dallas’ seed stitch jacket, from the book, Scottish Highland Knits. I finished weaving in the loose yarns on the car ride up. It did keep me warm and cozy on that brisk, autumn day, but honestly, I don’t know if seed stitch jacket and I are meant to be. It’s really really REALLY big on me. I was aiming for an oversized look but I think I’m just swimming in it. You can probably tell in the photo.
One of the problems I have with sweaters and cardigans is the sleeve proportion. The armhole is usually too low or too big. I think it’s a combination of being petite and not really understanding the pattern adjustments I think I’m doing correctly, but actually I’m faking it and keeping my fingers crossed. Plus I’m not a math person. I keep hoping that one day I’ll just “get it” - either that or the fiber goddesses, for whom I have been leaving burnt offerings, will stop giggling at me and look kindly upon their faithful pilgrim.
Now where did I leave my burnt offerings?
