My pals made the cover of Ravelry news! This was the party at Rhinebeck. Famous now! BTW, the one with the gorgeous Clapotis had a b'day yesterday.

Rhinebeck
Lots of pictures to show you -
Sheep - lots of sheep. These beauties were getting a good grooming...
I love how these boys were all taking care of the grooming. I have a hard time getting my boy to take out the garbage...
The Rasta kind...
The kind that need to be turned into Webkins so you can take them home...
And the naked kid. Their mama needs to make them sweaters. The weather was in the 30s at 9am here...
This sheep went for $225 , which I heard was very cheap. (And another boy, helping...)
Llamas and their crossings...
And bunnies. Cute cuddly angoras. One woman was "plucking" and spinning from her angora on her lap. Not sure how I feel about that. Doesn't it hurt?
I thought this guy looked like one of our presidents from the 1800s...
Why is she looking so happy on the really long STR line? Because she doesn't want me to take her picture. She knows I'll put her right here in my blog!
We each bought our first roving here at the Weston Wools booth.
I also saw my friend Angie who wore her beautiful shawl. I saw Liz too, who bought a Golding Spindle. Now we both have one! I was really excited to see Anne Hanson of Knitspot. I've met a lot of celebs before, with husband's profession being what it is, but I got all silly inside at the idea of meeting Anne. She's an amazing designer, and I love reading her blog. I also saw Yarn Harlot later that night at the Ravelry party. Pretty cool! But the one blogger I didn't see although I really looked hard was Pam of Lick My Sticks. I love her blog and really wanted to see her "in the flesh". Maybe next time!
More sights and smells...
Not too crowded yet at 9:30...
But at 12 noon - Food Court!
No show would be complete without my favorite exhibit, the Border Collie demonstrations.
Tomorrow I promise to show you some Ravelry party pics and my haul but I've got to go work on Kiri for my girlfriend Marianne (big birthday coming in 3 weeks) and a baby blanket for my girlfriend Trish. Wee Seamus is due in 3 weeks, but I'm feeling like he might be here before Marianne's birthday comes, so I'd better work on the blanket first. (Let's not even talk about the bad bout of start-itis I've had for the past 2 months. These two knits have got to get done NOW.)

We're for sale!
But the best part was seeing friends. Karen found me at about 9:30 on Saturday. Look at that clapotis!!!
