In this latest installment of our epic at 2007 NYS Sheep & Wool we take you to the after-parties from Saturday night after the festival closed for the night.We visited with Margrit Lohrer from Morehouse Merino at her store Sheep’s Clothing.After that we visited the Ravelry Rhinebeck party at Riccardi’s Hideaway in Kingston.
In this first of a multipart series on the 2007 NYS Sheep and Wool Festival, you’ll go on a journey with CAT as she enters the Rhinebeck handspun knitted garment competition.
See episode 5 - “bs” asked for the pattern so I offer it out to all of you. You can find it in the comments for Episode 5.
We apologize for the delay in getting this episode out to you all. Immediately after posting Episode 5, we packed up and traveled down to Baltimore for Stitches East (a future episode) and this trip took away from working on getting Episode 6 edited and posted.

Did you miss the opportunity to go to the 2006 NYS Sheep and Wool Festival in Rhinebeck, NY? Here’s your chance to experience it all.
See what was going on at one of the largest fiber events in the country! Over 34,000 people at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds on Saturday alone. There were Spinners, Knitters, Crocheters and other crafters. Llamas, alpaca, goats, rabbits and other creatures. Wine tasting, cheese tasting, fried pickles(?) and other foods. Yarns of all colors and fibers and the Hudson Valley fall folliage to compete with.
There was so much going on that we’re going to have to split this into two episodes!
In this episode we met with Terry Kunst an owner of angora rabbits, Richard De Moss of Catalynje Buffalo Fiber who spins Buffalo fiber, and Donald Kading a sheep sheerer.
What am I wearing:
Shrug made with Rowan Wool Cotton of my own design completed fall 1996. (really just a feather and fan rectangle with cuffs)
Booga bag by Julie (mine was modified to be wider) made with Noro Big Kureyon and Reynold’s Lopi
