I used to feel sad about not being at Rhinebeck (NY Sheep & Wool) when I'd see all the photos of folks there, but I'm just...not, anymore. Some of that, I think, is just realizing that I never really was part of the communities I thought I was, which the Ravelry shitshow a few years ago drove […]

my buttons came in the mail today because, like, of course they would arrive the day after i get back home from rhinebeck. but ohhh they're so nice, i am not the least bit bothered, just really stoked to sew these on!

a beautiful two-hole button made from a polished deer antler tip rests on a cardigan sweater, waiting to be sewn into place.
four sets of two-hole buttons made from deer antler tips are grouped on top of a wooden desk.  each set varies slightly in texture, color and size. some are a pale bone white and some are streaked with deep brown. some are very curved or crooked, showcasing the variability of the natural material.

One of my goals is to improve my mobility. Due to my collection of issues, I can barely manage more than 3,000 footsteps a day. Last Monday I was in NYC for appts and managed 6K+, and this weekend I managed 6K+ at Rhinebeck. Hopefully I will get myself to doing this more regularly & consistently.

I want everyone to feel as happy as I do when I'm wearing my Rhinebeck sweater, it's just a hit of pure joy

Scenes from the Rhinebeck Sheep and Wool Festival. #sheepandwool

A brown sheep who does not wish to be perceived—baring its teeth and side eyeing me.
This sheep is friend-shaped. (Close up of half of the sheep’s face, blurred nose in foreground, eye in focus.)

I went all the way to Rhinebeck this year, got so overwhelmed by the crowds yesterday, so overwhelmed I couldn’t even get motivated to shop, so came home & placed an order with WEBS: 2 skeins of Cascade Yarns Heritage in Highlighter Pink.

Seeing a friend post their Rhinebeck haul made me realize I missed the local fiber festival! I knew I was supposed to be doing something awesome yesterday. Sure, I still haven't used my yarn I got last time I went, but that doesn't mean I can't get more!
