I have to say that I love your style! Your color choices, both of the sweaters you are wearing and the quilt behind you are all stunning! Thank you for some great project ideas and yarn sources (and other educational info) and thanks for sharing your experiences!

That is so flattering, thank you! Sometimes I feel like I need to branch out more in terms of color, but I keep gravitating to my favorite handful of colors and perhaps there’s a reason 😊
How fun! I just came over at Amy Palko’s recommendation. Cannot wait to watch more! ❤️ Such a soothing & smart podcast.

Thank you for making such beautiful things, Deirdre! Love your work ❤️
I wish I could go to Rhinebeck. Wow! I live in Australia but maybe one day. We have a wool day and a fibre day but it hasn't been on the last 2 years of course. Fingers crossed for this year !
Nice shopping!
Thank you so much for this Rhinebeck experience. I have never gone and really appreciate getting this glimpse.
I've never been to Rhineback, thank you for the recap, I loved it!
Thanks for letting us see Rhinebeck without having to travel half way round the world. Love your choice of colours for the Gudren Johnston sweater.
Thank you so much for your videos! Loved the Rhinebeck recap and hope to get there some day. You are so informative and amazing to watch. Just thank you!
I always love your videos! This one was also great. Thank you!
I did not attend NY Sheep and Wool this year but love watching all the videos. Thank you.
Great recap and perfect purchases!!!
I just discovered your channel. Your videos are terrific! From the way they are put together to the content . I appreciate the detail you go into when it comes to your projects. It is fascinating and helpful. I look forward to more videos .

Theresa Zhong here, greetings Theresa Lucas!!! :) Sincerely, Theresa Zhong
Loved your podcast! ❤️
Aww thanks for taking us along for the journey!! I love that you stopped at Green Mountain & Battenkill! Hope to join you again one of these upcoming years. Frank's sigh as you were driving in cracked me up. 😂 I think I felt the same way LOL!

HA! Seriously, that drive into the lot is like... what am I getting myself into. Missed you this year - that 2019 trip was SO fun with you :-)
Gee, Mel, thanks a lot... I didn't even KNOW I wanted a fabulous, museum-quality Shaker sewing box. But now I do. Last Christmas I bought a set of needles and some wool to learn knitting, started down the rabbit hole of yarn-adjacent spending opportunities. Every new hobby, right? I am justifying this new gift by comparing the cost to other (non-existent ) hobbies like skiing and yachting that are even more expensive and merchandise heavy.

LOL! I'm cracking up over the comparison to yachting! But yes... I like to justify it as a pretty cost-effective hobby if you divide $$ spent by hours of enjoyment :-)
Hi Mel! Your recap was really fun to watch and as you purchased things from non-yarn booths it helped me to learn about what else is at the festival. Your purchases are beautiful and I agree that Gudrun's book is stunning. Looking forward to see you cast on for the sweater and talk about your process. And I really like your version of the Tegna :

I don't think I've tried that saddle shoulder construction but I'm intrigued! Love the clean lines of that pattern.
I was basically there at the same time, visiting the booths in the opposite direction as you did :D Also, I will have to purchase that wooden notions basket this year and hopefully we get to meet as well :)
