lk2g-103 Rhinebeck NYS Sheep & Wool festival 2021

Posted on February 10, 2022 by CAT

Knitting, spinning, and the quest for yarn continue in spite of lingering COVID-19. The New York State Sheep & Wool festival in Rhinebeck NY is moving forward as best they can in 2021. Vaccines, mask wearing, and social distancing are new but the love of knitting, spinning, and weaving are the same.

Eric and CAT come out of retirement to produce this special field trip episode for the 15th Anniversary of their pioneering online video series Let’s Knit2gether. Both days of the festival weekend are combined in this one video.
