Autumn Brings Fibre Festivals! The Woodstock Fleece Festival!
Autumn is my FAVOURITE time of year, and this year, the leaves have been particularly spectacular! This was taken as a zoom with my iPhone - so it is pixelated... sort of like what you'd get with the Waterlogue app.... this is just down the road from us - these trees put on a show every year, but this year they are truly outstanding! While walking Lackie and Daisy, I've been collecting leaves and ironing them with wax paper! Did you do that when you were young? It became quite a thing with me this year, and so I had lots of leaves to decorate my Thanksgiving table! Every year at this time, fibre enthusiastics....knitters and spinners, weavers and felters....all start to think about winter fibre projects....and a lot of us get a kick start by going to a local, or not so local, festival! One of the most popular ones is the New York State Sheep and Wool Festival ....more commonly referred to as "Rhinebeck". Lots of Canadians make the road...
