Serendipity

I may always have goals when I go up to Rhinebeck — I want "this" or "this"
or "that" — but what makes Rhinebeck special is when you find the unexpected.  Vendors you'd never known about,  colorways or fibers you'd never seen before, amazingly creative and talented people that you meet for the first time, and friends that you hoped you'd run into but didn't have plans to meet.

Well yesterday was like that.

Of course, the only part with visual documentation is the fiber that followed me home.

Respectively, sportweight and lace from Briar Rose Fibers.

Cashmere lace and sportweight from Skaska Designs.

Cocoons and hankies from Shadyside Farm.

Silk and merino lace from Spirit Trail Fiberworks.

Oh, wait, it wasn't just fiber that followed me home.

More on that later.

BEAUTIFUL stuff. Some of the Briar Rose yarn followed me home, too, and I didn't even try to convince it otherwise!

I didn't even see that green laceweight you bought. Gorgeous!
And yay, kitty. Keep us posted on him/her.

And thanks again, you were a real comfort last night. My lobby was flooded when I went in, and all I can think of was, thank god it wasn't my line, or I'd have still lost a lot to water damage.

Well,well, well! Goods picks, and pics. Nice kitty. It was great seeing you again!

It's always so much fun to hang with you. Thanks again for the ride and the splendid company. With the exception of Jackie's scare at the end of our trip (and thank goodness it all turned out well), it was a lovely time!

I'm so glad you gave the kitten a home! ;)

You appear to have gotten a kitten stuck to you.

With the exception of the kittens, it looks like we got taken by a lot of the same stuff.
