Rhinebeck or bust.
My Close Knit Friends and I are all riding up together to Rhinebeck Sheep and Wool Festival on Saturday. The vehicle is all gassed up and ready to go.
Now, I have made myself a few vows.
I will not bring home a dog, or any other farm animals.
I will not by a loom or any other spinning accessories.
I will not buy anything that's itchy, no matter how beautiful the colors are.
I will not convince a friend to buy yarn just so she spends more than me.
I will not decide to make a king size afghan.
I will not buy batting no matter how good a deal it is.
I will not eat more than one order of artichokes. Ok, two.
I will not buy a knitting bag, except if I really, really see something special.
I will not buy one skein of anything - or pay more than $20 per skein for anything.
and lastly,
I will not promise to keep any of these vows.
Oh, I - am - in - big - trouble.
Sounds like a plan to me.
Have a great time!

I am heading there myself for the first time. I am so excited (and a little overwhelmed already!). Have a great time.
Since you've been before, any advice for a novice?

LOVE the Brinks truck...not a bad idea. My hubby wanted to know if he should put on the pop-top on top of the van in case we run out of room! Can't wait. See you in the a.m. My only vows for tomorrow are to have a great time and to look for unique items!
