New York Sheep and Wool Festival 2013

For the fifth year in a row, Patricia's Yarns chartered a bus to the New York Sheep and Wool Festival held annually in Rhinebeck, NY.  I love this trip!  It is always fun to have an adventure, see all of the gorgeous wool, and yes, see the lovely animals that provide all of our incredible fiber.  Not to mention, I get a chance to catch up with many of my favorite knitters (including author Ysolda Teague, Lorna's Laces owner Beth Casey [both pictured]), customers, and friends (hooray, tentenknits was there!).  Here are a few of my favorite pictures from this year's trip.  Knit, Crochet, Create!

Patricia's Yarns goes to Rhinebeck!

There's so much I want to say about this trip but I will sum it up in one way: Knitters, our community, what we do, who we are, how we create - is flat out AMAZING. I am so lucky to be amongst so many wonderful people. - Margaux (a.k.a. Tentenknits)

PY goes to Rheinbeck

For the first time (and what we hope will be of many), we took the trip to Rheinbeck, NY for the Sheep and Wool Festival!

We saw sheep...

and Alpacas...
and a TON of yarn!


What a fantastic time!

We left Hoboken at 9am and took a bus up to Rheinbeck enjoyed the sights and of course the wool and left full, happy, and tired.

Thank you to everyone who joined us: Leila, Chris, Jess, Pearl, Ashling, Karen, Michelle, Jamison, Devon, Stephanie, Jillian, Rita, Kevin, Mia and Margaux.

We look forward to doing this again next year!
