Rhinebeck 2007

Rhinebeck for me is all about the friendships I have made in my years of making this trek, but did I have my camera in hand when I was with the friends?  Of course not.  (note to self......get a smaller camera that can be slipped in a pocket and stop talking so much!).

I never can seem to adequately put into words how dear the old friends are and how wonderful it is to meet new friends........  but the one thing I think that I love the best in all of this.........we all get it, don't we?  Love you grrls!!!!

And now a few pictures of my Rhinebeck.............

wow, nice spindles . . one of these days i will learn to use one; i'm just not sure it suits my nature.

oh (heart catching in throat) that wheeeel.
no wonder you disappeared from the festivities!

It is a thing of beauty, indeed.

That wheel is gorgeous!!! Shootfire, there goes that green with envy thing again! Happy spinning!!

Is that seriously how much you're going to show us?
I mean, c'mon.
Cheryl waxed. And waxed again.

Congrats on that fantastic long-awaited wheel! It was great to meet you (I was a member of the Knitspot entourage) and hopefully we'll see you again next year!

OMG the wheel.......speechlessly happy for you. Spinning on it made me realize that I must get one sometime in the future even if it's a used one. A Norwegian wheel is definitely the one for me. And the raised treadles? What a difference they make! So glad to laugh and spend time with you and thank you for offering so freely to let us spin on her.

I didn't see you or Judy.. :-( But the day was awesome...I bought lots of goodies also, was my first time there...

I didn't see you at Rhinebeck. I had a booth with a bunch of Mischief grandkids - beautiful rufous torts!

oh my - it's gorgeous.
more photos.
more photos.

Omigawd. Look at the details on that wheel... the carvings (embossings? intaglios? not sure what to call them, but they are lovely) and the vertical kate to match... *swoon*!

I love my Spindlewood square-head. I was hoping to find a larger one (I have one of the "minis") at Rhinebeck, but I lucked into a Hatchtown and stopped looking at spindles after that. ;-)

A little something? That's like saying that the pope is "a little bit Catholic". I admired it from up close, and I hear that it spins like a dream. Lucky you!!

Hey now! Don't hold out on those of us that couldn't attend - more wheel details!!

Breathless here. Simply breathless! Blue skies!

I'm sorry I didn't get to see you this weekend. I heard about that very special wheel. Congratulations! Use it in good health.

What a glorious wheel! Glad you had a great time! :)

I'm still drooling over that wheel!! Thanks for being so generous about letting some folks spin on it! It was worth all the cashmere in the world!

My chef friends get together every year at a conference and I think that's the highlight of my year. There is nothing more wonderful than being with my friends and spending money on new "stuff". I know you had a great time. I really wish I could have gone.

WOW...can't wait to see pictures of the wheel in all its glory!! Sounds like a good time was had by all...

Lovely pictures from Rhinebeck! Looks like it was a fun time!

I was very sad not to have spent time with you...glad to see you treated yourself well :-)

I wish you could have seen Dan's eyes when he saw the price tag! LOL Even he admitted she's a beauty though and then asked me if I wanted to talk to them... lol. I should have gone for it just to see how far he'd let it go. I'd heard you saying they weren't taking any more names anyway....

Generous, warm, wonderful Kim to let us spin on her new wheel. It is quite something.

Wasn't it a lovely weekend?

Darn, I missed the square spindles . . . Those little hints of wheels sure look tempting!

Oh those Spindlewood spindles spin like a dream! That looks like a beautiful new wheel.

The wheel is really beautiful! The wood is fantastic. I know you'll spin lots of wonderful yarn on it.
