I really appreciate how you also bring up areas where accessibility is a little bit lacking (the hill meetups & food options) and even plan on working to make your own meetup next year better for everyone to enjoy. This is a beautiful and fun vlog!
Great video, I am an old lady and you brought Rheinbeck to me. I liked Kent the best. what a sweet poetic, and handsome young man. As long as there are knitters and such men to support them, there is hope.
Thank you for this video. We went with our daughter about 10 years ago. It was a great day. She entered items as she lived nearby & won some ribbons! Recently, she has had Angora rabbits as pets. She always wears items that she has made too.
This is probably your best video to date, I loved it so much and now I feel like I've just been to Rhinebeck. Kent explaining your acquisitions was a hoot, definitely made me chuckle. Thanks Natalie and Kent!!
Thank you for this vlog. I live in central FL but am from Kingston with cousins in Rhinebeck. My knitting sister still lives in Kingston so it was nice to tell her about the new yarn shop down by Ship to Shore.
Love this video. Maybe one day I'll make it there, but in the meantime, this made me feel like I was there with yall!! Love how Kent is showing the purchases. It's awesome that he is so sweet and supportive! He deserves all the hats. Lol.
What a comprehensive and enjoyable vlog of your Rhinebeck experience. I loved that you kept Kent’s unboxing in it was funny in the best possible way 😂 he’s a keeper. I really loved the style, audio and camera steadiness, very professional job. Thank you ❤ I’m now wondering how I can get to the U.S. and visit various fibre festivals but also buy yarn AND get it back to Australia 🇦🇺
Loved your recap. It was so much fun being there Saturday. Wish I had seen you. Your alpenglow looks beautiful and I think the length fits your figure well. Thank you for your fun and informative videos.
Thanks for the video! As far as your sweater goes, if you have to keep pulling your pants up and your sweater down it would appear that you’re not as comfortable as you could be in your outfit.
There are three bathrooms. The center one, there is one in the middle of the barns and then the other one by the main entrance, by first aid. I used my roller walker this year and had a lot of issues getting into the buildings or getting around. I left after only three hours on Saturday. I was exhausted and in pain. I only ever bring cash with me to these. some good tips for newcomers.
It looks like loads of fun. I like the project bag you got and the interchangable circ binder. Ooh I love brussel sprouts. Never had them fried before.
Loved your recap! Rhinebeck had the perfect weather this year….the foliage was amazing! Thank you for such a thoughtful podcast! ❤️🌸🌺🥰 hope to see you next year!
I sincerely appreciate your two videos about this event as well as the other two. I know now that I can go as I am very nervous in large crowds. Thank you!
Natalie, my friend and I got to meet you at Rhinebeck and were so excited! We had the BEST day at Rhinebeck this year! It’s even more exciting to see me in your video waiting to meet you! 😂❤
I love the support from Kent. Reminds me of my husband 🥰. I’ve decided that I’m going next year 😊 so excited to meet you in person (hopefully I can see you sooner than later)
Your alpenglow has convinced me to take gauge swatching seriously for my next c/o! I want to make the Sycamore by Petite Knit and want to get it right, especially since this is my first time holding a wool and mohair together
Thanks for such a great podcast. I’m the least techy person but I really appreciate the production quality of this. The pictures , sound and the quality of the filming (so steady no motion sickness for me here ) . It was lovely to see you really enjoying your friends company . I love Brussels sprouts so these look amazing. Your sweater looks super cute on you as it is but if it’s not comfortable I would go ahead and lengthen it. I’m knitting on a sweater now and I wasn’t sure about the length of the body. I thought that it might grow in blocking etc but watching your journey with your alpen glow I took a deep breath cut off my sewn bind off and I’m adding a few extra inches. I asked myself would it bother me if it was too long and as the answer was no I decided to go ahead and adjust it now.
Your video is very helpful. I am planning to go to Rhinebeck next year. However, I feel quite anxious travelling by myself as there isn't much information online for public transportation. I am thinking of taking the train to Rhinecliff as well. Will there be taxis on standby at Rhinecliff station that will take passengers to the fairgrounds?
Definitely the best Rhinebeck round up I have seen. Full of very usefull information. Just wish I could see more of your lovely knitted dress. Thanks and well done.
So nice to see Kent so much in this episode - loved his explanations of your purchases! Enjoyed your experiences and your "tour" of Rheinbeck - Thank You!
Thanks for giving an inside look on Rhinebeck, great to see! I agree on your alpenglow, it's too short. Although it is really pretty, you don't seem to feel comfortable in it, that would be reason enough to give it some extra length and be even more happy with it :).
Personally I think the length looks amazing on you but I know if it was me wearing it I would add another inch. Just because I would hate having to fix it back down. I hope that helps. 😊
Wow! Such a fun yet comprehensive video!! (must be the teacher in you 😊) I’ve never been to Rhinebeck but now I have to go! Thanks for putting in the work for this video ❤
Loved Kent's explanations of things. And I love that he loves the team hats you are making him. I agree about finding a more accessible meetup location. I have a wheelchair that I need to use at times. But it would have been so difficult to use at Rhinebeck, so I left earlier than I wanted.
I'm going to ask a million questions right now. Lol When do the tickets for this festival go on sale? What are the tentative dates, is it always around this time? How much was the cabin for a 2 night stay and where are they located? Can I email you and get you to send me the info? Lol sorry, I am planning to go next year and want to know how much I need to save.
Can I join your group next year??! It looks like you guys had sooo much fun! Oh and I also got such a good kick out of Kent explaining your purchases😂 so glad you guys included that part
Thank you for sharing! My husband and I are currently visiting NYC but did not make it to Rhinebeck, so it was nice to see your vlog. BTW, I love Kent’s explanation of your purchases 😂
thank you for so lovely and all explanation episode 🥰 and funny too... not only I want to see on day a Christmas NY with the Rockefeller Tree but I need to visit this festival as well 😅I already told my boyfriend that we need to go to this festival 😂... it sounds like a got plans for holidays. Greetings from Europe 💖
Thank you for doing this fun trip. I always thought Rhinebeck was in Europe only as I have been in Germany many times. But silly me it is such a fun time. I am such a novice and working up my first sock. The heel not so bad but the gussset, takes some mastering. Planning was essential I see. The dinner looked so good. What a great fine a yarn store and wine bar!!! I will start looking for local groups to maybe join in. Your experience and notes like taking an additional day to look around the town. Your husband did a fantastic job. Your new sales pitch guy! I think it would be interesting his take and encourage other guys to join in.
Thank You so much for sharing the Rhinebeck experience. A group of my Knitting friends attended this year but I couldn’t go. This was a great overview of what the experience is all about! Well Done!
I'm from the UK and have wanted to go to this show for years....your vlog has given me even more reason to set my plan in motion...great tips and advice...love Kent's acquisition descriptions...thanks so much🌞
This is so helpful! I do hope to make it there next year and feel better prepared now! Great idea to each model your handmade pieces! So cool about your modeling experience! Curious, do you know what pattern the gray hat is that Michael wore?
Hi Natalie. So nice to see that you seem to have enjoyed your rhinebeck experience more this year. Last year I think you were a bit underwhelmed. The food lines are notorious, but somehow luckily my husband and I seem to have avoided all of them. I think our strategy was to eat after the lunch crowds died down 🙂
Hi Natalie. Here in Western Australia we have a Wool and Fibre festival in Toodjay. it is a small country town about an hour and half drive from the Perth City. I have only been once many years ago as there wasn't hardly any Vendors there. Rhineback looked amazing. Thank you for taking us on your great weekend.
Rhinebeck isn't in upstate ny. Hahaha. You can tell you we're visiting from the city. Upstate is way up by Canada! I would love to go. My friend goes every year and buys the most gorgeous yarn to make stuff for her and her kids.
We also ate at Ship to Shore and stopped in the new Kingston yarn store... two hours before you got there. I've also experienced the horrible traffic across the bridge, so much to my husband's delight, I made sure we were in the car by 3. Made it to Kingston in no time! Passing this on, because I'm already planning out how to optimize my time for next year...
Looks like a lot of fun! I love your Alpenglow...and, yes, I agree that you could add another 1"-1.5" in body length, and maybe 1" in the sleeves - the sweater looks a teensy bit too short and I noticed you had pulled it down a few times just in the time it took for the short video clip to occur. I think it would ride up all the time as is - I don't know about you, but that would bug the heck out of me, lol!
Wow! Does that football game look fun. So does Rhinebeck! I think your sweater is a little short, it looks like it belongs to your little sister or something. Maybe add an inch or so? It would still be cropped, but not too small. Or you can wear a white shirt under it? I'm glad you had fun.
You all are adorable. Thank you for your thoughtful words about accessibility. I recently had a medical problem that limits my mobility and i was shocked the festival website says nothing about accessibility.
Hello from Mounds Illinois. I really loved the knitted pants. I have never been to Rhinebeck , but went to Stitches Midwest and my first time. I saved for two years so I could buy anything that I wanted without having to worry that I spent too much money. Glad to see all the sights with you. One day I will get to go.
yes, do add an inch or 2 to your Alpenglow--you'll never need to tug at it. :-) . thx for the map--very helpful for us who haven't been but might go in the future, and so was the traffic report :-) .
Since I was away last week, I just got to watch bother videos. The content was great, and you did an amazing job with the narration... I would love to attend, but this 79 year old body wouldn't make it.😪
I liked it when Ken told us what you bought and when you came in and told us Al the info he didn’t know or forgot 😀 I really like the length of your Alpenglow you look gorgeous and you have a beautiful body no need to hide anything….But what do you think? Are pulling on the sweater? Do you feel insecure when you are wearing it? You do, what makes you feel happy. If the sweater ends up in the closet because you wish it was longer then please adjust it.
Loved watching your video. I live about 30 minutes from Rhinebeck and we go every year. It was a beautiful day but super crowded. I would love to meet you next year!
Love the video and watching your Rheinbeck travels, but the adverts are many and breaks it up too much. Is there anything you can do to lessen the amount of adverts in your videos? Otherwise great!
This was my first year attending Rhinebeck and it was SO fun! There were so many things to look at and check out. Thank you for sharing your trip! Hope to see you next year.
I go to Ship to shore all the time - thanks for the tip on new yarn store- how cool. Im new to your channel-i took classes everyday.Sunday is definitely the day to shop. Saturday I always hit the auction barn.
You are so lucky that you can wear a shorter sweater so well! It looks gorgeous and altho I can tell you're going to lengthen it, you don't really need to.
