and just over a week before my next Knitting Extravaganza (and hours before Sandy* takes it all away):

I am still in “overwhelm”**

As a long term veteran of Maryland Sheep and Wool, I can say that Rhinebeck is further away, more charming, and has a better chance for wool-appropriate weather. (Even the name has more charm.)

The weather could not have been more perfect (well, it could have not-rained on Friday during setup.)

And some excellent news. I’m just in stunned awe.

*About Sandy: not that it would be obvious, but we’re supposed to be amidst a hurricane the next few days. We’re prepped, the puppy is was tired. (He’s napped and over that now.) We’re ready to hunker down and knit for a few days.***

**Well, no longer. This was written on Saturday morning. I’ve been getting ready for Sandy’s arrival.  To wit: I baked brownies (because who wants to be without chocolate and electricity at the same time?) I figure I can sort yarn by flashlight.

*** I suppose Dude will find alternate methods of entertaining himself. Sam will chase Ned. Nickie will go into hiding.
