My beautiful Black Romney fleece.
One of the kilt clad men at the festival. (There was even a man in a Utilikilt!)
A lovely IBM retiree who has taken up woodcarving.
Saturated color everywhere you looked!
Our Rhinebeck weekend was just marvelous, weather-wise...
...and except for some high winds (especially on Saturday), we had
perfect Fall days.
The trees were turning colors...
...and there were stands with local produce (esp. pumpkins!) all along our route...
...plus Macoun apples--my
absolute favorite!!
After reading about everyone's 'fleece in the grease' projects all Summer...
...I
took the plunge and bought not one, but
three fleeces!!
I bought a multi-colored Jacob Hoggett fleece, a luscious black Romney fleece...
...and an Icelandic fleece raised on the Holy Myrrhbearers Monastery farm!
For a suburban girl like me, it's fun to think about the people who raised them...
...and the farms where the animals live.
(How
romantic, I think, to own a Monastery fleece!!)
I did a
smallish project with the Jacobs yesterday...
...but I'm going to make you wait a bit to see it. Giggle.
On Friday, I'll have the last of the
atmospheric photos from the festival...
...then back to my felted projects next week!
