1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,340 I'm Drea. I'm Meg. I'm Tina, and and I'm Jess and this is Pardon My Stash 2 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:20,240 Welcome to Pardon My Stash a podcast about crafting within the fiber arts and how awesome it is 3 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:26,500 Before we get into today's topic, let's check out what we're working on this week 4 00:00:26,500 --> 00:00:32,220 Just right this second. I am working on Nimue 5 00:00:32,940 --> 00:00:36,900 Which is a crochet blanket by Shelly Husband because I have finally 6 00:00:37,340 --> 00:00:41,900 Died up the colors that I want for the middle on sparkly yarn 7 00:00:44,300 --> 00:00:46,300 Sparkly yarn. Oh 8 00:00:47,460 --> 00:00:53,860 Thanks, Steve, but yes, I'm doing it my version of silver dragon because I did it kind of wrong 9 00:00:53,860 --> 00:00:57,180 I didn't realize it's it's barely different and 10 00:00:57,700 --> 00:01:02,420 and bear sparkle yarn and a little bit of vishka thrown in for 11 00:01:02,980 --> 00:01:09,300 Flavor and we'll see how this goes. I am also working on the lost souls shawl in 12 00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:14,260 Revenant because it glows in the dark and it looks like creepy lost soul skeletons 13 00:01:14,260 --> 00:01:17,580 And I'm probably not gonna finish by Halloween, but it is a fun project 14 00:01:17,580 --> 00:01:22,740 So she had it out on the table last week when when my mom came over to to play with our daughter 15 00:01:22,740 --> 00:01:28,460 When I was in class and she saw the crochet shawl and she's like, oh my god, this is so pretty 16 00:01:28,460 --> 00:01:30,940 I'm like, yeah look and I held it up. I'm like it's got faces 17 00:01:31,500 --> 00:01:35,940 And you should have seen the look on her face because she was definitely less charmed 18 00:01:36,420 --> 00:01:38,740 When she saw the faces the whole 19 00:01:40,020 --> 00:01:42,500 She's creepy her face just like 20 00:01:43,700 --> 00:01:47,520 Ha that's that's kind of the exact reaction 21 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:52,360 I know Steve's on point today. Less enthusiastic though than Steve 22 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,920 It was really funny Meg. What you got? 23 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:02,460 I'm knitting on Kala by Natasha Hornby. It's a another another shawl 24 00:02:02,460 --> 00:02:08,440 That's I'm just doing like everything I've made this year minus one hat is all for it's all about the neck 25 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,120 I am knitting this out of critical hit dies 26 00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:16,680 Warlock in the shade vishka and I was on the fence about it 27 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,520 Because I wasn't sure if it was showing enough stitch definition 28 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:24,960 But I posted it on my Instagram the other day and the response overwhelmingly was it's fine 29 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:33,360 So thank you Instagram followers. Yeah, it's dark, but it has just enough like light contrast definition 30 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,440 It's got enough because it's not it's not solid 31 00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:38,480 No, it's got a lot of like blues and and 32 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,080 Is it green or purple purple purple? Yeah, I can barely see the purple 33 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:48,500 But I wasn't sure and I'm interested to see what it's gonna look like when I actually get to the Kalas 34 00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:50,700 There's like actual like califlours 35 00:02:51,780 --> 00:02:57,760 Cabled into it when you get to a certain point, so we'll see how that looks. I think it'll look dark 36 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,720 I think so like you won't be able to see it from a distance 37 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,360 No, but I think up close. Oh, yeah, it's gonna look real pretty. I hope so 38 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:12,080 So I am enjoying it so far and it's nice and squishy. Do you know what you got? 39 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:17,680 This is the slip on your shoulder tee by blame the knots and the yarn 40 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,240 I'm using is critical hit dies in drew DK in colorways 41 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:29,080 Thunderwave and tequila sunrise got an extension on the slip on your shoulder tee 42 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,000 Which I kind of told her I might need one anyway when I applied so 43 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,080 Even she was like you did tell me that you probably need 44 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:42,600 Exception I was like, yeah, I'm just finishing up one. I'm finishing up one sleeve 45 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,440 so I kind of have a better feel on how to handle the sleeves because I 46 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:55,480 Making a sleeve differently because I'm using two different colors one for the accent and the other for the actual part of the shirt 47 00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:03,040 so figuring out how to do that without having a massive gap between the pattern piece on the 48 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,720 Detail on the shoulder and the actual shirt was fun 49 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,320 Took way too long 50 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,800 But I figured it out 51 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,480 lot of twisting so I'm 52 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,840 Feeling pretty good about it. I'm hoping I 53 00:04:20,280 --> 00:04:26,160 Don't think I need more than like the next week or week to do this because I don't 54 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:33,520 I'm off of work for a bit. So I will have time on my hands to finish this up. It's coming out good. It is coming 55 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:38,920 Okay, thank you. It's gonna look really good when it's done right now. It looks like a kerfuffle, but it is 56 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,560 There is no sweater that looks put together when you're finishing it 57 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:50,360 I don't know why and I find it the most frustrating thing about like getting to the end of a sweater is I always finish and 58 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:51,320 I'm like 59 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,640 That's underwhelming and then I block it and I'm like, okay 60 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,600 It actually looks good, but I don't know what it is about sweaters when you finish them 61 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,280 They always look kind of lopsided and kind of funky 62 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,560 And then you block them and they look fantastic and you're like there it is 63 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:12,960 Just same with shawls to an extent shawls always look pretty rumpled when you're done with them. All right, Dre, what you got nada 64 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:24,240 That's not true. You got a plan. I have plans, but I have no projects. I did finish the Jenica hat and 65 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,840 I finished my swatch for the florist Bolero 66 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:38,840 It only took me two weeks, but I did it listen man swatches are hard. I haven't blocked the swatch yet and that's like 67 00:05:38,840 --> 00:05:42,840 another battle in itself 68 00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:44,840 The swatches are hard 69 00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:47,360 You get there and you're like well now I just don't want to do it. I know 70 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,040 But when I block the Jenica hat, I'm going to block the swatch 71 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,000 Block the swatch. Just do a block party. Ha. I did not mean to do that 72 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,640 If you do it together it won't feel like you're wasting time just doing it for the swatch 73 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:02,140 Correct 74 00:06:02,140 --> 00:06:12,240 Because that's what's blocking you as you feel like you're wasting your time. So I have a secondary block with wanting to move forward with this Bolero and 75 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,840 It is mostly that I 76 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,120 Need to 77 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:24,160 Remeasure myself Frank did my measurements. Oh, no, I love him so much. It wasn't correct 78 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,480 I don't know and I only say that Frank if you're listening 79 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:34,560 I love you dearly but the other reason why I say that is because when he was giving me my measurements for the places that 80 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,960 I couldn't measure myself. He said it's about this 81 00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:42,280 No, we don't do about 82 00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:46,280 About yay big 83 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,800 That's no 84 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,760 I love him so much, but I'm gonna need one of y'all to help me with that 85 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:59,280 Yeah, we can measure you tonight. We got she was helping me measure my arm before. I was yes 86 00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:05,320 Thank you. That's actually really sweet and funny. Yeah, I asked him and he didn't seem confident in doing it. Oh boy 87 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,600 But we did it anyway 88 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,200 You know, I could have done you were at my house when you were doing that measurement 89 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,300 I was and then I didn't want to hurt his feelings. Oh 90 00:07:16,300 --> 00:07:21,780 Frank I really hope you're not listening to this 91 00:07:28,980 --> 00:07:36,180 So I have plans for my next project I have not started my next project but I have 92 00:07:36,700 --> 00:07:40,220 the plan is I have a plan to make a plan and 93 00:07:41,580 --> 00:07:43,580 That's half the battle. Yeah 94 00:07:43,580 --> 00:07:45,100 Yeah 95 00:07:45,100 --> 00:07:50,960 For more information as well as pictures regarding our current projects patterns and yarns 96 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,860 Be sure to check out part of my stash calm where you can also check out our sponsor 97 00:07:56,340 --> 00:07:58,340 Jimmy beans wool 98 00:08:00,580 --> 00:08:06,580 So Ryan Beck happened it did it did indeed it was good it was different 99 00:08:07,340 --> 00:08:12,140 It was not it was not not good, but it was definitely different.

No, no way couldn't do it and and I already had like 122 00:10:04,260 --> 00:10:11,340 Kind of a hesitation because of my experience last year with my mobility devices and I just did not feel like 123 00:10:11,340 --> 00:10:18,420 Excellent. I you know what I walked around this year. So I was pretty happy about that. But like I really just did not feel like 124 00:10:19,540 --> 00:10:24,980 Getting plowed through with my rollator walker.

It's a long drive 128 00:10:36,180 --> 00:10:38,180 it's it is much and 129 00:10:38,500 --> 00:10:44,340 um, I I definitely felt the same way like not as much when I first saw the crowd, but when we went into the first 130 00:10:45,140 --> 00:10:51,380 Building and um, I got separated from everybody because I stopped to get something 131 00:10:52,020 --> 00:10:54,020 I did not like that 132 00:10:54,020 --> 00:10:57,700 Uh, but I have agoraphobia anyway, so lots of people is no bueno 133 00:10:58,260 --> 00:10:58,820 um 134 00:10:58,820 --> 00:11:05,540 I had kind of mentally prepared myself for it because I knew like I remembered from the last time that we did a saturday rinebeck 135 00:11:06,260 --> 00:11:13,140 But yeah, it is if if you are not somebody that that does well in big crowds saturday rinebeck is not for you 136 00:11:13,700 --> 00:11:18,420 No, it's it is hard, but it did clear out like between 2 30 and 3 137 00:11:18,980 --> 00:11:20,980 The crowd started to lessen 138 00:11:20,980 --> 00:11:24,900 But in that last like hour and a half two hours, it was delightful 139 00:11:25,540 --> 00:11:28,900 Yeah, delightful. I had a great time definitely was 140 00:11:29,860 --> 00:11:34,740 a lot easier to move around definitely a lot easier to get into booths and see what you want to see 141 00:11:35,700 --> 00:11:40,900 And you just didn't feel so um boxed in closed in on yeah 142 00:11:41,380 --> 00:11:43,380 I think like I would have been fine 143 00:11:43,380 --> 00:11:50,340 If everybody wasn't acting like it was rush hour in new york city and we had to get through the barns as quickly as freaking 144 00:11:50,340 --> 00:11:51,620 possible 145 00:11:51,620 --> 00:11:54,420 Like aren't we here to like look at the different booths? 146 00:11:54,420 --> 00:12:00,500 Like it was odd when it was like two very extreme circumstances is either they were trying to push you through 147 00:12:01,060 --> 00:12:05,380 Or they decided to have a six person conversation in the middle of the walkway 148 00:12:06,500 --> 00:12:07,860 And i'm like 149 00:12:07,860 --> 00:12:09,860 Can we get a middle ground? 150 00:12:10,340 --> 00:12:14,500 Can we get oh and then like nobody cared about the arrows nobody cared about the arrows 151 00:12:14,740 --> 00:12:16,820 Who this is supposed to be a one way?

Oh my god these people and i'm like 153 00:12:21,540 --> 00:12:23,540 You're the ones going the wrong way 154 00:12:25,700 --> 00:12:27,860 I can't imagine why traffic is slowing down 155 00:12:28,980 --> 00:12:32,500 Yeah, there were definitely traffic issues. Yeah for sure 156 00:12:33,060 --> 00:12:35,060 and I definitely had like 157 00:12:35,220 --> 00:12:40,260 I didn't have as bad of an experience with my wheelchair and I think because the walker is 158 00:12:40,980 --> 00:12:42,020 less 159 00:12:42,020 --> 00:12:43,300 on the floor 160 00:12:43,300 --> 00:12:48,180 So to speak so I was upright so I was able to kind of like shove people off a little bit 161 00:12:48,420 --> 00:12:53,220 You were also more seen. Yeah, I feel like a lot of people especially when they're 162 00:12:53,940 --> 00:12:56,500 in wheelchairs, they're they're lower and 163 00:12:57,380 --> 00:13:00,280 Easier to overlook. Yeah, unfortunately 164 00:13:00,740 --> 00:13:06,180 But I was still getting like run over left and right to the point where like sometimes I would be getting shoved so much 165 00:13:06,180 --> 00:13:08,740 That I was like I gotta take a break and I was like getting out of 166 00:13:08,740 --> 00:13:14,260 of aisles and like just okay, I'm gonna take a break. I'm not saying it's like everybody 167 00:13:16,100 --> 00:13:18,500 It's not everybody but it definitely is 168 00:13:19,300 --> 00:13:25,940 Enough it's enough that I would not necessarily be like, oh, yeah. Reinbeck is totally accessible 169 00:13:26,100 --> 00:13:27,620 You could totally go 170 00:13:27,620 --> 00:13:31,140 I'm not saying that you can't go if you have an accessibility device 171 00:13:31,220 --> 00:13:33,860 I'm just saying like be prepared to just like 172 00:13:33,860 --> 00:13:38,580 Have a stiff back and like be able to like get people off you unfortunately 173 00:13:38,900 --> 00:13:43,460 It's it's kind of part of it for some reason. I don't know why it's like tolerated but 174 00:13:44,260 --> 00:13:50,660 At a certain point I just gave up after a while because I was like I did do better about not apologizing for existing 175 00:13:50,660 --> 00:13:52,660 So I felt better about that 176 00:13:52,660 --> 00:13:56,020 But I definitely um at one point just started 177 00:13:56,820 --> 00:14:01,780 Started to stop pausing myself. So if I'm walking with my walker, I'm going to walk 178 00:14:01,780 --> 00:14:04,420 I'm not going to go faster. I'm not going to like 179 00:14:05,060 --> 00:14:07,940 you know stop so that you can cut across me and 180 00:14:08,660 --> 00:14:11,140 Dreya can everybody can vouch for this 181 00:14:12,340 --> 00:14:18,180 This woman with her child literally just ran right into the front of me and I kept going and I ran her kid over 182 00:14:18,180 --> 00:14:20,180 I'm not kidding 183 00:14:20,180 --> 00:14:24,340 I literally ran her kid over and she's looking at me like I'm the jerk and I'm like you 184 00:14:24,900 --> 00:14:26,900 You had it wasn't like we were in a tight barn 185 00:14:26,900 --> 00:14:30,580 We were in an open walkway space and she just they just literally did not 186 00:14:30,580 --> 00:14:34,980 Looking at wherever they were going and they just ran into me and I was like, you know what? I'm gonna keep walking 187 00:14:34,980 --> 00:14:40,740 This is your benfates is what I have to say to that like and I'm like why? 188 00:14:41,300 --> 00:14:45,060 Why would you not be like, oh honey that person has an assistive device 189 00:14:45,060 --> 00:14:51,540 Maybe we should go to the side and not block their walk as they're struggling to get up the hill. It's not everybody 190 00:14:52,500 --> 00:14:54,500 but it is 191 00:14:54,500 --> 00:14:58,100 enough people where it bears mentioning. Yeah 192 00:14:58,100 --> 00:15:00,580 Definitely the awareness 193 00:15:01,940 --> 00:15:07,620 I'll say I don't even think the issue is so much the accessibility of reinbeck. It's more that 194 00:15:08,340 --> 00:15:12,180 It's an awareness. I would say it's it's more of the the awareness 195 00:15:12,740 --> 00:15:18,100 You know and personal space kind of like well, we know from experience from last year that 196 00:15:18,900 --> 00:15:20,900 You can get a wheelchair 197 00:15:21,460 --> 00:15:23,460 Most places it's true 198 00:15:23,460 --> 00:15:28,180 With assistance. Yep, some places are easier to get to than others 199 00:15:30,420 --> 00:15:32,980 But it does present its own challenges, yeah 200 00:15:34,180 --> 00:15:37,460 I would say that it's definitely more accessible for 201 00:15:38,020 --> 00:15:40,740 People with mobility aids that are a little bit more 202 00:15:41,300 --> 00:15:46,500 Mobile. Yeah like in comparison to last year and this year like last year 203 00:15:46,500 --> 00:15:50,020 There was just booths I straight up couldn't go to because either I couldn't fit in 204 00:15:50,020 --> 00:15:57,380 My chair because I physically couldn't walk last year like not very long like maybe one or two feet in front of me in front of myself 205 00:15:57,380 --> 00:16:01,380 But that was with two people holding me up. Like I really couldn't walk. So 206 00:16:02,180 --> 00:16:04,900 If I wanted to see something I had to be in my chair 207 00:16:04,900 --> 00:16:08,340 There was no option to not be in my chair and that's 208 00:16:08,900 --> 00:16:12,420 That's what I feel bad for because I had the option this year 209 00:16:12,420 --> 00:16:16,980 I've recovered to a point that I decided to go with my rollator and my wheelchair 210 00:16:16,980 --> 00:16:23,780 And that way I could park my rollator and take the cane and like briefly be without it and just like be able to walk in and like 211 00:16:24,500 --> 00:16:28,340 But if I was stuck in the wheelchair again, I don't know 212 00:16:29,140 --> 00:16:32,980 I do feel like a lot of the booths this year were a lot more open like they were 213 00:16:33,460 --> 00:16:36,980 The structure was a lot more. Yeah, they were like less 214 00:16:37,940 --> 00:16:39,940 Like a box. Yeah 215 00:16:40,340 --> 00:16:42,340 They were they were staged more 216 00:16:42,820 --> 00:16:44,820 Open than they were 217 00:16:44,820 --> 00:16:50,260 Staged more open than like hallways or any like and it was a lot easier 218 00:16:51,060 --> 00:16:54,660 Tina and I went to to fiber optics at the end of the day, which is always a 219 00:16:55,460 --> 00:17:02,980 If you've been to rinebeck anywhere where fiber optics vends, it's always crawling and it was instead of having like a box format this year 220 00:17:03,860 --> 00:17:06,420 With the with the cash register in the middle 221 00:17:07,060 --> 00:17:09,060 um, it was 222 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,680 Uh horizontally aligned 223 00:17:11,940 --> 00:17:13,940 So it was all open air 224 00:17:13,940 --> 00:17:19,380 Where it was so much easier to navigate so I don't I don't know if it was 225 00:17:19,940 --> 00:17:25,140 Rinebeck or if this was individual vendors that made this call and they were not the only ones 226 00:17:25,140 --> 00:17:27,060 They're just the only one I can think of no 227 00:17:27,940 --> 00:17:34,820 But shout out to whoever made that decision whether it was rinebeck staff or the vendors themselves for staging their 228 00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:39,620 Um booths that way that was a great decision on their part 229 00:17:39,620 --> 00:17:45,620 Um, but I will also say I I think rinebeck made a really good decision. They used to have their um 230 00:17:46,180 --> 00:17:48,180 The tent where they sell their 231 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,460 Rinebeck swag the bags the shirts, etc 232 00:17:52,260 --> 00:17:53,780 smack in the middle 233 00:17:53,780 --> 00:18:00,660 Um right when you can make either the you can bang the right to go up the hill to the food trucks 234 00:18:00,740 --> 00:18:06,340 Or you bang left to go up to the barns and they used to have the swag tent like right there 235 00:18:06,820 --> 00:18:08,820 And it was not a great spot 236 00:18:08,820 --> 00:18:12,420 Um, because that not that you guys were talking about is right there 237 00:18:13,300 --> 00:18:19,220 All the time so and and the line for the swag tent is always huge. It's always like line out the door 238 00:18:19,460 --> 00:18:21,460 So I think moving that 239 00:18:21,460 --> 00:18:27,620 To closer to the entrance was a much better idea. It freed up that whole area 240 00:18:28,420 --> 00:18:33,140 To not be so congested with people and a line and a tent the way it's set up too 241 00:18:33,220 --> 00:18:36,180 The path there is a lot wider and you don't have that 242 00:18:36,180 --> 00:18:43,160 Um intersection with people going every which way so it's just a much wider path that you could like veer into that or keep going 243 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:49,560 Right. So it looks like they are at least trying to address the problem of um 244 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,520 at least the crowd and 245 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,680 It is and I think there's I mean, I don't know i've 246 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,600 Been we've been only been going to rinebeck for 10 years now 247 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,040 Um, has it 2014 was the first time? Yeah 248 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,080 Yeah 249 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,080 Doesn't feel like we've been there 10 times. No 250 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,640 Well, we haven't because we missed a couple of years 251 00:19:10,120 --> 00:19:16,680 Um, yeah a couple a couple of times. Yeah, um, but 2014 was the first year we went and 252 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,800 granted mostly went on sundays, but 253 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,960 I feel like the crowd has exponentially grown 254 00:19:24,360 --> 00:19:29,400 Yeah over the years as I think, you know, social media has become more prevalent more people are 255 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:36,140 Discovering rinebeck knitting became I mean as as popular as it was it became even more popular during covid 256 00:19:36,780 --> 00:19:41,180 Um, and with more and more people every year feeling more comfortable to go out 257 00:19:42,140 --> 00:19:50,220 Post-pandemic we're seeing the larger crowds, which is I mean in one stance great like people are feeling more comfortable to go out 258 00:19:50,780 --> 00:19:57,180 Um small businesses are getting more exposure. That's all fantastic. But I do I i'm glad to see that 259 00:19:57,180 --> 00:20:04,860 That somebody I don't know who is is attempting to make decisions to make the place a little bit easier to navigate 260 00:20:05,260 --> 00:20:06,860 hopefully taking 261 00:20:06,860 --> 00:20:10,700 Feedback, I know tina you said you gave feedback last year about the uh, the 262 00:20:11,260 --> 00:20:19,580 Possibility, so it seems like somebody is taking notes. Yeah, I'm not saying i'm not saying nothing changed because obviously there was a difference 263 00:20:19,740 --> 00:20:24,860 I'm just saying the perpetual problem seems to be the people like both times 264 00:20:24,860 --> 00:20:30,540 Well, and I know and can't can they control the people absolutely not i'm not telling brinebeck to go figure 265 00:20:30,540 --> 00:20:32,540 And i'm not telling you 266 00:20:33,740 --> 00:20:39,500 Be the people police like i'm not asking for that i'm just saying maybe you know, I you know 267 00:20:39,500 --> 00:20:44,860 Okay, they're addressing it on the way that they can for not even just accessibility 268 00:20:44,860 --> 00:20:48,300 But just like for like better traffic flow, which is smart 269 00:20:48,460 --> 00:20:51,740 Yeah, like the line that you said about the souvenirs and stuff 270 00:20:51,740 --> 00:20:56,540 Yeah, a plus like yeah, it absolutely needs to be put to the side because there's always going to be a line there 271 00:20:57,100 --> 00:21:01,100 And not everybody wants to get a souvenir. I don't I don't get souvenirs 272 00:21:01,100 --> 00:21:06,140 Like I like it's not not everybody's thing and it's annoying to have it in the middle 273 00:21:06,860 --> 00:21:10,380 No, but I think I think one of the bigger issues and I think that um, 274 00:21:10,860 --> 00:21:11,820 And I oh god 275 00:21:11,820 --> 00:21:16,300 I'm certainly not going to be the first person to say like rinebeck's not worth going to because obviously it is 276 00:21:16,620 --> 00:21:20,140 And we enjoy going every year but every year I read online like people saying like oh 277 00:21:20,140 --> 00:21:25,580 I I hate rinebeck fomo and um, you know, I feel like i'm missing out and 278 00:21:26,540 --> 00:21:30,620 Um, you know guys it is fantastic, but it is it is fiber festival 279 00:21:31,100 --> 00:21:31,980 and 280 00:21:31,980 --> 00:21:37,020 There's nothing that you you can't get at the fiber festival that you can't 281 00:21:37,980 --> 00:21:39,980 Buy elsewhere. Oh, absolutely 282 00:21:40,060 --> 00:21:42,060 Or buy from the vendors directly 283 00:21:42,620 --> 00:21:49,660 And um, I think maybe it is it is that kind of like fomo mindset that is that draws the crowd right first thing in the morning 284 00:21:49,660 --> 00:21:53,900 and and maybe inspires a little bit of um 285 00:21:54,220 --> 00:22:00,540 lack of self-awareness of trying yeah, right because nobody wants to miss out and and to be fair like, you know 286 00:22:00,540 --> 00:22:05,180 Yeah, you have the rinebeck special colorways and you have like the show specials and all that 287 00:22:05,420 --> 00:22:10,940 So, you know, yeah, but but I think it's important to remember that none of those things are are as important as having 288 00:22:11,500 --> 00:22:13,500 um decency for other people 289 00:22:14,220 --> 00:22:15,260 so 290 00:22:15,260 --> 00:22:17,740 I sound really preachy. I'm not meaning to sound preachy. It's not 291 00:22:17,740 --> 00:22:21,740 Preachy it but i'm not meaning to sound that way. I don't think it's preachy 292 00:22:21,820 --> 00:22:27,980 I just think it's you know, I think it's really easy to ignore people and assist in uh, you know mobility devices 293 00:22:28,060 --> 00:22:31,660 I really do. I think it's very easy to you know, okay 294 00:22:31,660 --> 00:22:34,860 Well, I need to get to that booth and this person in a wheelchair is going slow 295 00:22:34,940 --> 00:22:38,860 So i'm just gonna like, you know bypass them when this person go like I get it 296 00:22:39,100 --> 00:22:45,100 I get it because if you think that me and my walker at some point did not get annoyed because somebody was standing in 297 00:22:45,100 --> 00:22:48,220 The middle of the thing having a six-person. I'm sorry.

The meetup was banging as always. That was my a plus for sure 321 00:24:19,020 --> 00:24:22,860 I mean my favorite part of the meetup was definitely hanging out with winnie 322 00:24:23,580 --> 00:24:28,540 Uh one did you guys see her like crocheted hoodie? That was awesome. That was really cool 323 00:24:28,540 --> 00:24:31,660 I don't think that I have ever seen Tunisian crochet 324 00:24:32,220 --> 00:24:34,700 But it looked so fancy 325 00:24:34,700 --> 00:24:36,700 I loved it so much 326 00:24:36,940 --> 00:24:42,460 And um a little stars on it. I know it was so good. Those were so good 327 00:24:43,260 --> 00:24:48,860 But she was probably my favorite person at rheinbeck this year. Sorry everybody else 328 00:24:48,860 --> 00:24:53,900 Well, why tell everybody why she taught me a new skill. You can check it out on 329 00:24:54,460 --> 00:24:56,700 Instagram we did videograph it 330 00:24:57,660 --> 00:25:02,300 Videograph it really is that what we're calling? And then we sent a telegram 331 00:25:02,300 --> 00:25:04,300 And then we sent a telegram 332 00:25:08,300 --> 00:25:14,380 We videographed my new skill, okay, which winnie taught me.

Um, I mean I I kind of enjoyed it 400 00:30:18,940 --> 00:30:25,420 I mean I I kind of anticipated that just because saturday has a larger attendance that it might have a larger attendance with the meetup 401 00:30:25,420 --> 00:30:30,460 But it was just really fun to do. Um, it was fun to do a saturday 402 00:30:30,620 --> 00:30:34,540 And i'm glad we were able to do it because I know there were some folks that that's the only day they come 403 00:30:35,020 --> 00:30:40,060 So like i'm really happy that we're able to be there on a saturday. Yeah took one for the team 404 00:30:41,340 --> 00:30:43,340 We probably won't be doing it again 405 00:30:43,420 --> 00:30:46,620 But so yeah, it was nice. We will in seven years 406 00:30:46,620 --> 00:30:53,100 Yeah, so to clarify the the reason why we ended up going on saturday is because my daughter's birthday landed on sunday 407 00:30:53,660 --> 00:30:56,620 And I am not and it would my daughter 408 00:30:57,260 --> 00:31:04,540 You know turn 10.

Um, but yeah to your point meg 412 00:31:19,380 --> 00:31:22,020 It did confirm that like we are sunday folks 413 00:31:22,500 --> 00:31:27,460 Yeah, and I think that's I think that is that is fair. We what it is is is knowing, you know 414 00:31:27,700 --> 00:31:31,860 No, I don't even want to say your boundaries, but know what know what you can hear. Yeah, know your limits 415 00:31:31,940 --> 00:31:35,220 know where you know where you feel comfortable and and 416 00:31:36,020 --> 00:31:38,020 Find your joy find your joy 417 00:31:38,020 --> 00:31:44,260 And I think that's you know what honestly like I I do love seeing people that that are enjoying themselves 418 00:31:44,260 --> 00:31:46,580 Like seeing the big meetups on the hill. I'm like, wow 419 00:31:47,300 --> 00:31:50,180 That's fantastic. I I could not do that 420 00:31:50,660 --> 00:31:52,580 um, but 421 00:31:52,580 --> 00:31:58,180 I love that you have you do have the option you can spend one day you can spend two days you can 422 00:31:59,140 --> 00:32:00,580 You can do whatever 423 00:32:00,580 --> 00:32:02,580 We just figured out we are sunday people 424 00:32:02,660 --> 00:32:05,940 I love that for us and we didn't really have like massive halls 425 00:32:05,940 --> 00:32:12,340 Which i'm actually kind of happy that we were like selective. So my whole hall is on the table right now 426 00:32:12,500 --> 00:32:14,500 I see that all 427 00:32:15,300 --> 00:32:20,500 Five things. Okay. The fleagull flugr does not count as a separate thing from the beads. Yes, it does 428 00:32:20,500 --> 00:32:25,860 It was a separate transaction. It was I thought you bought them together, but it's a separate item 429 00:32:29,140 --> 00:32:31,140 It's it's a thing 430 00:32:32,020 --> 00:32:34,020 It didn't come with okay fine 431 00:32:34,020 --> 00:32:38,420 I had to buy that too. Oh, it has the name right on the tube fleagull beater 432 00:32:40,100 --> 00:32:42,740 I thought you said it was fleagull flugr. I thought 433 00:32:44,740 --> 00:32:49,540 It always will be in spirit it will be and I will continue to call it that not on purpose but 434 00:32:50,260 --> 00:32:53,540 To be fair. It just sounds so much more fun 435 00:32:55,140 --> 00:32:57,140 That's fair it does 436 00:32:57,140 --> 00:33:05,140 So in addition to the fleagull flugr, I also got beads because I am going to be starting a bead project at some point 437 00:33:05,940 --> 00:33:11,860 In the next coming months.

I thought it was more. I thought it was like 50 and maybe i'm no no 552 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:25,720 It was a much smaller tag. I think I was just so excited to see this stack. I thought it was a lot more 553 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:30,120 I was so pumped. Um, because it was literally the one well 554 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:33,160 There were two things I wanted to get and I did get both of them. The other was a shawl pin 555 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:39,080 Um, and then I got more stuff. So you did get a shawl pin. I did get a shawl pin. It's really beautiful 556 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:40,680 It is very pretty 557 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:45,160 Um, but I did I had fun and I and I usually don't buy a lot of stuff at rheinbeck 558 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,520 um, but this time I did I let myself have a little bit of fun, so 559 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:53,640 um, i'm probably gonna end up being a lot more restrained for new england fiberfest, but 560 00:41:55,720 --> 00:41:59,000 That's okay all bets will be off if I find that frog though 561 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:03,720 Oh, wow. Yeah, obviously seize seize the moment. You can't pass up the frog 562 00:42:03,720 --> 00:42:07,400 I just realized I did not talk about like the mission that I talked about last episode 563 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,480 Really quick. I did not find the yarn. I did find the beads 564 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:16,440 And it's okay about not finding the yarn because megan jess are hooking me up. So we're all set.

I spent a lot 570 00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:40,520 No apologies whatsoever. I'm proud of you. I I stopped at two different felt places 571 00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,320 I got a bag with dragons 572 00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:45,800 I got some needles and stuff 573 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:48,680 Um, I did get some beads 574 00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:54,280 I didn't get that many. She got the beads. She came home today and decided she's not gonna be I don't like what it looked like 575 00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,880 After buying all those beads, she's not gonna be the project 576 00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,760 She bought something else and I may even still use them for this 577 00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,760 I just I didn't like the way they look pretty strong and I didn't like the way they looked 578 00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,520 Shrinking them as they it just didn't sit right on the crochet. So 579 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:17,160 I crocheted beads are harder. Yeah, I may sew them on after the fact or I may just use them for a different project 580 00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:22,920 But I have sparkly yarn now. So that's okay. What else did I get? I mean the brussels sprouts, obviously that was like fantastic 581 00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,800 We also got soap we did get soap as well 582 00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:33,080 Um, yeah, so but yeah, I most most of mine was spent on on felt stuff 583 00:43:33,240 --> 00:43:36,040 I feel like one of those is probably going to be my uh 584 00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:42,600 Treat yourself make along one of my felting things because I got a dragon one. I made her get that one 585 00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:44,760 I liked it. It was cute 586 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:50,600 And and yes, Meg was like no just get it just get it. It's adorable. There are three options and I chose one 587 00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:54,840 So that that's gonna be mine. We tend to not be good influences on each other 588 00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:58,520 We're all issues and it's really funny because both of us will be like I don't need that 589 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:04,120 And the other one's like well, I kind of like that. It's like make it rain. Yeah, and that's not a good way to be 590 00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:10,200 But it is it's exactly how we are. That is it's exactly how we are. That is how how both of us 591 00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:14,680 Um, I won't spend money on me, but i'll tell her to spend all the money she wants 592 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:16,680 But I mean I did need the other 593 00:44:17,240 --> 00:44:18,520 um 594 00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:22,920 Flegal beaters that I got because I can't I can't every time you guys say it 595 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:30,280 And they also had a uh pre-stringing needle, which I have also lost mine and 596 00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:35,240 those are actually hard to find unless you order them, so I was glad that they had it because 597 00:44:35,240 --> 00:44:40,200 It just made life so much more convenient. But yeah, so I I did I got a lot 598 00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:47,400 I'm proud of myself. I'm gonna see what new england has and you know, I may buy a lot there to probably not though 599 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:53,480 I think I think I might be good but so with new england fiberfest being so close.
