Rhinebeck 2024 Recap and Treat Yourself Makealong

We are back from Rhinebeck, and ready to share! We had a wonderful time meeting all of you who came out to our meetup on the grassy knoll from 2-2:30 on Saturday! It was wonderful to see you, and meet so many people, especially those who might not ever have made the trip before when we met on Sunday! We loved seeing your makes and chatting like old friends. It was a wonderful time spent at Rhinebeck, and we can’t wait to do it again next year (on Sunday, however)!

In our annual Rhinebeck Recap episode, we talk about the highs and lows of our experience at the famous NY fiber festival – with a few changes this year, as we attended on Saturday rather than our usual (and less crowded) Sunday. We talk about the accessibility issues that we witnessed once again this year at Rhinebeck, as well as the vendors we loved, the sights we saw, and the swag we brought back. Join us!

We hope you are all also getting pumped for our Treat Yourself Makealong, starting on November 1st (just a few days away)! The mission this time around is simple: you can make anything you want – knit, crochet, felt, embroider, the sky is the limit… as long as you’re making it for yourself. No gifts, no presents! This one is for YOU! Check out our MAL page to sign up if you haven’t already!
