Wool Giveaway
I never heard from Vintage Threads about my wool giveaway. So, I've drawn a new number. And the winner is (for the second time!) ... Pat Pardue!

Sheep and Wool Festival 2011
We visited the Sheep and Wool Festival in Rhinebeck, New York on Saturday. A blustery day did not keep the faithful from this wonderful show. As we approached the fairgrounds where the festival is held, traffic slowed to a crawl, and we found ourselves moving a mile in 25 minutes! No matter, the show was well worth it!
Here are some photos I took as I moved through the crowd.
This rug and the following rug were both for sale. Very large rugs with beautiful coloring.
Lots and lots and lots of yarn to photograph, but I concentrated on the finished items. Here are some pretty knitted hats for sale.
Heavens to Betsy's booth is pictured next. It was so crowded, I really couldn't get a good look around.
Next is another rug hooker's booth. Very crowded also. She had some lovely patterns for sale and was attracting a lot of interest.
I saw many booths with needle felting projects. The following photo shows some of the projects you could make from kits that were being sold.
I came upon the next rug in the building that was hosting some of the food vendors. I wondered why it was in this building, and found out it was for sale through a silent auction. Given my fascination with postage stamps, I had to really resist bidding on it.
I have several more photos to share. I'll post those tomorrow.

Very Cool!
This is not a post about the weather!
I've been seeing a lot of buzz about the magazine, "Mollie Makes" on other blogs. I checked it out and found out that it has limited availability in the US as it is a British publication. Nonetheless, I went to their Web site and found out that they have a digital version. Yay!!
In a few minutes time, I had paid for an issue (6.99) through Paypal, set up the app on my Ipad, and voila: my first issue of Mollie Makes! I only bought one issue, as I want to get a feel for weather I'll like the magazine or not.
And that is very cool indeed!
