Rhinebeck - All about wool

Hi there :)

In mid October, New York state had a great event for every one who have a deal with a wool: knitters, crocheters, spinners, sheep / goats / alpacas / lamas breeders etc.
It was annual New York State Sheep and Wool Festival in Rhinebeck, NY.
The most important thing with push me to visit the festival was planned meet up with my friends Svetlana and Natalia. I was happy to meet them :)
It was a really interstate meet up - VA, PA, NY.
Also it was Geometric Illusion Cowls meet up :)



В середине октября в штате Нью Йорк случилось значительное событие для каждого кто имеет дело с шерстьб и не только: для любителей вязания спицами и крючком, прядения, для тех кто разводит овец / коз / альпак / лам и т.п. 
Это был ежегодный New York State Sheep and Wool Festival в Rhinebeck, NY.
Самое главное, что подтолкнуло меня посетить фестиваль - это встреча с товарищами по оружию вязанию Светланой и Натальей. Я очень рада, что мы смогли свтретиться :)
Также это была встреча коулов Геометрия :) 


More photos from festival :)

The yarn is never too much :)
Пряжи никогда не бывает много :)
