Megha thank you so much for sharing your yarn story in NY. You have beautiful colors if yarn. It must have been lovely to meet Amy and Rebecca. And others. Beautiful stories .I’m always grateful for your time you share
You are an exceptional human and I LOVE LOVE LOVE your podcast!!!! Wow what a rockstar you are too to HAUL to NYC to meet the ladies!! I’m from Long Island and live in New Jersey now and have never ever driven across Manhattan and don’t plan to!! You’re a ROCK STAR!!!!
Thank you Megha for taking the time to share your experiences during the weekend. I thoroughly LOVED seeing everyone's smiles! Your acquisitions are NEXT LEVEL incredible. What unique purchases. I'm here to cheer on your "vest goals" !! Also, you should definitely add "drove in Manhattan" to your resume - very brave and impressive!
Loved your Rhinebeck recap. I always enjoy your 'ramble'. Your intro knitting with the gorgeous background was such an amazing start to your podcast. You are such a lovely lady. I remember watching your first podcast of a Rhinebeck recap; you have grown so much since then.
Wow that is a very impressive yarn stash behind you. Every time you hold up a skein I think yes that is definitely your colour….until you hold up the next one 😂they are all beautiful as are you. I love watching you and hearing what you’re doing 🧡
Sounds like a wonderful trip, but I agree with you about having some down time to knit too. It’s all so stimulating. Oh yes, I loved the episodes with your Mom! ❤
Your yarns behind you are like an art installation, so beautiful:) I'm glad you had an amazing time at Rhinebeck! Your photos of Rebecca attacking her meals were hilarious, she looks like she was really getting into it. How nice to be able to spend time with knitting friends in person.
Great Rhinebeck recap. Thank you for sharing. It looks like you had a lovely time with Amy and Rebecca. I just got yarn for the Alder sweater. Yours looks awesome one you 😊
Oh I feel like I just lived our adventure all over again - what a delight!! It was just such a joy to meet you in person and get to experience this festival and the surrounding events with you. Already looking forward to the next time our paths cross and we get to spend more time with one another. And yes!! Time to sit and knit with one another! 😂 PS I’ve used my bag almost constantly since it dried out from W+F. Was the perfect carry on bag for my flights home. And every time I look at it, it makes me happy. 😊
It was the best time with you and Rebecca!!! Thank you so much for being a part of it and I am so so glad that you like your bag! I was quite excited to give it to you ❤️
Hi Megha, it is always so nice to enjoy your walking us viewers through the events and meet ups, feels very much like one joined. Your yarn purchases gave nice inspiration, the colored four ply island yarn made me think, you could use it for embroidery on knits, it would showcase the colors...🤗😊 so now chill, knit and relax...bye till your next podcast.🎉
Thank you so much for your account of Rhinebeck, Megha! I lived it through you and your video. I'm glad you went with Amy and Rebecca; you all must have had such fun together. I followed your lead to Starcroft yarns and love the colors! I might even allow myself to buy some!
What fun to come along with you and all of your friends. You really do a good job of capturing all the details I love to hear about. The meowing offscreen was priceless. 😻
Thank you! I loved your beautifully illustrated account of your adventures. The new stash arrangement is 👌. As usual I was sitting doing a test knit for Rebecca whilst watching you - this time the Daft Days shawl.
Thanks so much for this video and you being you! Love a good ramble every day hihi. Discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago via a Selmaknits video, small world. Thank you so much for all the inspiration, advice and happy laughs! PS love your cat and his persistance hihi.
First time viewer! Excellent Rhinebeck recap. And I agree as I'm also thinking about just doing the the NYS Sheep and Wool Festival next year so that I can be fully present and not so exhausted. Also, I was delighted to meet you at Wool and Folk! I look forward to seeing what your new yarns become. Thanks.
Loved this! You made me giggle when you said you didn’t change needles for the neck because you were lazy - I, too, am a lazy knitter! As for your vest out of the brown wool - consider the Librarian Vest by Skeindeer knits. I’m doing a handspun version of it (if I get the spinning done!).
It was a delight to meet you on the Hill, where you were watching over Amy and Rebecca like a mama bear❤️❤️ I had a long drive as well and the weekend was exhausting. I don’t know how some folks went to all three venues on Friday.
Catching up on your videos, i LOVE the way you redid your yarn closet! I organize mine by project plans, then have the rest hidden in a box in my closet 😅 someday ill get myself a nice big closet to show off all my stash in like you 😍
So lovely to hear about it all . I would love to go to Rhinebeck but highly unlikely it will be possible so it’s nice to see everyone’s videos about it
I love the addition of all the ‚Rebecca getting extremely excited about food‘ pictures 😂 lovely your retellings and it really seems like the three of you had the best time ❤
I just can't believe you spoke to us for another half an hour after you had clearly been requested to come for kitty cuddles 🙀😼😹😹 Thanks for sharing, glad you had such a good time meeting everybody!
Hahahhaa he is an idiot! He calls to the living room so he can sleep on his cat tree. I think he doesn’t trust me in any other room. Reminds me of my mother. He wants to nap but I have to be in the same room so I can be under his supervision 😂😂😂😂
Thanks for sharing your adventure with us, I so appreciate your positive but real experience of Wool and Folk. I guess I am tired of all of the extreme negative regarding that event. Your podcasts are always so delightful. Hearing Oreo made me laugh. Take good care Megha.
I was happy to meet you at W & F. I live far from Rhinebeck so I won’t be able to attend regularly, but I was thinking if I return, it might just be for the Sheep and Wool days. I can’t believe it felt calm there.
Yes!!! I’ve been so excited to see your recap. I couldn’t make it this year because of the mudslide on the Amtrak, so I’m living vicariously through your stories and video!
Great seeing you at Wool and Folk - we were the obnoxious people that asked you to stop testing Rebecca’s sweaters so we could…...hahaha just kidding, love to see your test knits! Glad you had fun and come back again soon! 8-)
Thanks for the recap, thoroughly enjoyed it! I just finished a vest from the shenandoah alpaca yarn you showed, and it is also purple. Mine is a different blend, probably scratchier, but still, so close! I love my vest. One day I will get to Rhinebeck.
It's called Nancy's Vest, by Carol Sunday. Truth be told I did not enjoy the pattern, but I love the vest, am actually wearing it now, but over 2 layers so it's not itching me yet. I couldn't understand why she wanted one to do what she was asking, though I guess it has to do with the A-line shape. I love that the button band is done while doing the body, but the last little bit that goes behind the neck is a bit fiddly. @@skeinsofdreamsknits
Hi Megha, your weekend sounds busy and mostly fun. I wonder if you think that podcasters mainly come away from the weekend feeling like they have met many people and feeling a part of a bigger group, or if you think the regular knitter would feel similarly?
Hi Beth! I agree that the podcasters meet a lot of people because of the videos. I went two years ago with friends and it was less about meeting people and I still had an amazing time. I think going with one or two friends makes it a wonderful trip! We always meet more people at the festival at booths and events. But to make friends, I feel the interactions have to be longer and we have to make that happen 🙂
I’m knitting the Argyll::Argyle vest by Kate Davies. It would be great in that wooly yarn you bought. MJ Mucklestone also just came out with a vest in her Grand Shetland Adventure book called Island to Island Vest and it uses Nash Island Tide. I'm on a vest kick as well!
It was nice meeting you at Rhinebeck, even though at first I was talking to Rebecca: I could not think of your real name only the TH-cam channel and then was uncertain as you are more new to me 😂 But I am glad I got all 3 of us in a photo and I did tag you correctly (yay!). Agree, not enough time to just sit and knit and chat with people in a calm space....we need a week at least don't we all? Love your poncho color especially and all the wonderful acquisitions.
I watched Amy’s episode and just wanted to say what a great job on her bag, love the luna print , it was such a lovely gift. Thanks for sharing these moments of giving joy, it makes a difference knowing that there are people like you and Amy in this world. 😊
Lovely podcast. It was about knitting and knittingfriends and wool. That is a lot more then other podcasters did, that only talked about themselves because they were thinking it should be about them. ( because they are famous now?) Nice to know you a little bit better what you are about. I like you, never change, you are a very lovely person!
Hello, I really enjoy your podcast very much. I just wanted to add a note about the Sonder yarn and why the yarn you have may not be as soft as the Ecru base. The regular Sunday morning DK is dyed on a blend of Bfl and natural brown masham and the Ecru is dyed on Bfl and a natural white masham. As I personally like natural non superwash wool, I have found that yarn spun from brown fleeces unless it's a merino or cormo is rougher. I don't really know why that is but maybe a spinner or someone with more knowledge of sheep breeds or fleece could explain 😊. This has just been my experience.
Megha thank you so much for sharing your yarn story in NY. You have beautiful colors if yarn. It must have been lovely to meet Amy and Rebecca. And others. Beautiful stories .I’m always grateful for your time you share

I have to chuckle when you say, "this is my color". SO many colors are your colors! Face it; you just like color! I love color too. Thank you!
So true! 😂😂

Enjoyed learning @ Popet, I love alpacas. The zoo here in MD have several of them. They are my favorite of all.. How sweet. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I loved your beautifully illustrated account of your adventures. The new stash arrangement is 👌. As usual I was sitting doing a test knit for Rebecca whilst watching you - this time the Daft Days shawl.
Hahah thank you Maggie!! And of course Rebecca makes such beautiful garments, you have to test them!

Well, we do it because it works!! 😂 thank you for the recommendation! I love Eli’s designs

@@skeinsofdreamsknits I love that 😹 what a persona!
Looks like you had lots of fun, despite the W&F issues.
Thanks for sharing your adventure with us, I so appreciate your positive but real experience of Wool and Folk. I guess I am tired of all of the extreme negative regarding that event. Your podcasts are always so delightful. Hearing Oreo made me laugh. Take good care Megha.
Thank you ☺️
I love the sweater so much!!
Maybe you know Kate on the Last Homely House YT channel-she also loves green and pink! Happy color combination! 🧶 💜
I bought the exact same loop yarn and made a purl soho hat. - held double! Love the colors.
So nice to see you with Amy and Rebecca.
I was happy to meet you at W & F. I live far from Rhinebeck so I won’t be able to attend regularly, but I was thinking if I return, it might just be for the Sheep and Wool days. I can’t believe it felt calm there.

Great podcast! The Brussels sprouts at NYSW are so good! Sounds like you had a great time!

Thanks for the recap. I have been wondering about Mel...nothing from her for a while. Is she okay?
Yes absolutely :) she is doing well!
