Thank you all! It is lovely and soft and cuddly and warm - I think from the baby camel in it.?
I¡¯m sorry I missed you Laura and Steph. I¡¯m afraid I only ventured out of the workshop building in very short bursts. As one of my fellow volunteers said - ¡°there¡¯s too many people out there!¡± when she came back. I did a bit more walking around Sunday mid-day when the crowds were a bit lighter but even then I just went to see the booths I had marked off as wanting to see.?
I took a drum carding class with the Clemes family and really learned a lot. I bought 1 ring distaff, a hair brush cleaner for cleaning my drum carder, a box of tea and some fudge! ¥Ä
Mostly just checked in students, helped teachers, setup and replenished/cleaned up the refreshments and hung out with my fellow volunteers. I did a lot of people watching out of the windows and looked for y¡¯all heading to the restrooms by the first aid station but didn¡¯t see you.

I entered a sweater in the Rhinebeck finished item competition. This is the first year I've ever entered anything in a competition, let alone two. But since I'd never done a fully handspun sweater before, I decided to enter them.
I got First place in the category, Best Knitted Item and Best in Show for the sweater! I've attached a photo of it with all the ribbons. Better photos are on Ravelry. The Best of Show ribbon is longer than the sweater itself!
