There's a sheep + wool festival every fall in the town of Rhinebeck, NY. I was invited by a nun who weaves on a loom and wanted to go, but injured her foot and was unable to drive herself.
I took Elijah with us and he watched the llama, alpaca and sheep intently. I bought some colorful yarn and was inspired! Many women were wearing a sweater designed by Andrea Mowry, but with their own color selections. At 2pm they took a group photo on the hill there. Such a great community feel! Here's the fest website: https://sheepandwool.com/
We've had a few days of summery weather this week, although we did have a frost last week. Yesterday it was 76° F and sunny!
How fun! I can't wait to see what your colorful yarn becomes! I'd love to go to Rhinebeck and am trying to be patient for a season of life that allows for it.
