And lookie lookie. I need a good name for this little chickadee cowl, designed by the super talented Kirsten, because I started it on the flight to Italy and finished it on the flight to San Fran. last month. It’s been all over the world and back. It’s a really fun and easy pattern and just needs one skein of something chunky. I used a skein of #117 Manos del Uruguay. I can’t wait until it’s actually cool enough to wear it. I wish I could share the story about what happened on the plane to Italy with this but I can’t because I gave that woman my card. Let’s just say I had a very nice woman who took my knitting from me to *show me* how she could knit. And let’s just say I had to rip the whole thing out and start over…..yeah just what we love to do right? Riiiiiiiight.
I also have two one skein of this really pretty yarn for sale. SOLD! I have been playing around with some immersion dyeing and these are a result of that. They range from little bits of white all the way to a gorgeously dark crimson. This is also a one of a kind dealio. I don’t think I wrote down what I did. Or maybe I did? Wait, I could do it again I’m pretty sure. Yeah….that’s the ticket.
For anyone looking for the new Namaste Cali bags I have another order that should be here anyday. I’ll try and get here and announce it when then come in. Okay, all this excitement has me exhausted already and it’s only 9:30am. Any travel agents out there? Who’s really good at getting cheap tickets? I am flying from Albuquerque to Newark. I can’t seem to find anything for less than 417 before taxes and that is just so dang steep! Let me know if you are a good flight getter.
Have a good one my friends!

OMG OMG! ME ME ME ME ME!!! I’ll be there! Both days! Squueeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Oh and my ticket was like $400 round trip but I’m flying into Hartford and staying in CT with my sisters for the week surrounding. I got mine on CheapTickets.com.
How exciting! Now I’ll have to plan to go to Rheinbeck (don’t go every year) this year. The cowl is lovely, and I’m very curious about your news. I am interested in the yarn - sent an email, hoping I’m not too late.
Believe it or not, but you should try a travel agent. Not all the bargains are on the internet. Sometimes agents have inside info. It doesn’t hurt, and can even save you $$$ to buy a spinning wheel at The ‘Beck.
Oh boy! The yarn is beautiful. I hope I get to go to Rhinebeck this year– I’ll be enjoying my first year at college near Philly, and I’m intending to drive up/get picked up by a blogfriend from NJ and go with her. Yay!
Oooo that yarn is GORGEOUS!
So. Very. Cool. Pea and I will be there, and we’d love to meet you!!
Im confused.. isn’t Rhinebeck between Newark and Amy Singer?? hmm.. anyway.. Rhinebeck is now pretty much a mandatory annual trip.. as we stay at my favourite bed and breakfast.. chez Mom and Dad.. heheh
So just look for your old purple Haiku bag hangin off my shoulder..
Yay!!!!!! I hope i see you there, but it’s kind of a big old cluster you-know-what these days. I get overwhelmed rather quickly by it all — it’s so….LARGE. In any case, I’m thrilled that you’ll be there and hope to meet you in person.
WOOOT! I hope I get to meet you out there! BTW, check every day on the tkts. they go “on sale” as it gets a smidge closer. Maybe in August. Check. CHeck. Check. There isn’t one person who get a cheap tkt.. it’s all ruled on the airlines/blocks of seats. use travelocity or thru the airline sites themselves. i USED to be a T/A and now most charge for their services, bc airlines dont pay commssion anymore. &..everyone uses the http://WWW. good luck and I hope I see you there!
Scout, that yarn is stunning! I sure hope we can see some more of that dye method . . . :hint: :hint:
Beautiful.
Excellent! I’m thinking about making my first trip too. I’ve got friends in the area that are bugging me to stop by for a visit. Wonder what they are doing that weekend….
I’ll be at Rhinebeck this year! It will be awesome to meet you! I am very excited to go, it’ll be my first time!
Your world traveling Chickadee looks great!
How much do I wish I could ride up in that car with you and Amy! What fun!
See you there! ;o) If we have a five minute meeting it can probably be a tax write off for both of us… ;op
I would SO love to meet you at Rhinebeck, but I don’t know if my budget can make it that far! I’ve been handpainting yarn for a while, but I’ve recently fallen in love with the kettle. The only thing that I’m learning is that it’s hard to make a truly consistent yarn. *shrug* Yours looks great as usual!
I’ll see you there, for sure!
I’m glad you told me to buy those fiesta rolls at Flying Star–YUMS!
xx
Hollaaaaa
See you there
We went with the whole family last year and GothamGirl keeps asking about the sheep, and the dogs and the rides, and the yarn, and the lemonade and the………
Me TOO!!! I will be there. I’m 15 minutes away from Newark too. So u can pick me up too! (Just kidding) Looking forward
to seeing you there.
Dude. I’ll see you there!
Rhinebeck sounds like fun! That is the yarn of my dreams… seriously! Please oh please tell me you’ll be making more yarn dyed this way. It would make a stunning shawl or even could be used for socks with great success.
Yay! I will see you at Rhinebeck… or maybe sooner!
That yarn is so beautiful it’s ridiculous. Yum.
Yay! Hope to meet you there!
I’ll be there, too, this year. And I won’t make you cry by telling the price my my plane ticket. Not cheap, but pretty good. I bought it in January.
That yarn made me drool! You got to make more of that!
