Well, no sooner did I get back home from Taos than I was off again to New York, to meet Gale – and so many of you – at Rhinebeck.
For a fiber fair newbie like me, that's a lot of woolgathering. But thanks to the fall weather both in New Mexico and New York, I actually got to wear my Montana Tunic, (scroll down on that link for a shot of Joan in booksigning action )and even my Taos beret. It turns out Gale and I were mirror (well, sort of) images of each other. Happily, the chilly air was enough to get me knitting again – stay tuned for pictures soon of my Mendocino vest – though I've slowed down again since I got back to Santa Barbara, where fall means 80 degrees!!

Anyway it was amazing to catch up not only with Nanney Kennedy at her Seacolors booth, but also to say hello to Harriet Knox and the Autumn House gang and Jody McKenzie from Botanical Shades. I even came home with a sweater commission from my non-knitting sister, Donna, who fell in love with one of Nanney's sweater patterns.
This knitting thing is catching.
I met Nanney at SAFF in Asheville, NC last weekend. She was amazing. My daughter and I both felt like she was a new neighbor. I also purchased some of her yarn, which is, by the way, gorgeous stuff---great colors,wonderful texture. Can I get enough explitives in here? SAFF was a huge success, never mind the SCENERY, and all the ladies I attended with enjoyed it. We are already making plans to attend next year.
