Rhinebeck 2024!

Posted by maryheatherb on
Three smiling women and a young girl stand beaming in the sunshine, all wearing stranded Framed sweaters.
Three generations of Framed: KnitMeres (Meredith) made the sweaters for herself and her adorable daughter, and her mother Ann knit her own lovely cardigan version. Meredith shared that this photo was taken just 5 minutes after walking into the festival and running into the designer, Andrea!

The third weekend in October means something special for many yarn lovers: the New York Sheep and Wool festival! Affectionately referred to as Rhinebeck, after the town in which it is held, NYS&W is a celebration of all things yarn and fiber, and always serves as an incredible showcase for handmade creations. Making a new "Rhinebeck Sweater" and getting FO pics against a backdrop of beautiful fall leaves or happy festival-goers is a beloved tradition for attendees. Here are just a few of the project pics from the festival that Ravelers have shared!
