a little bird just flew past my ear and whispered “today is the second of September, you know!” and i told him to check his birdy calendar, because that’s just crazy, there is no way it could possibly be September already! it is only somewhere around early-to-middle of August, i am quite certain. although i am preparing for september, that’s for sure… have been for some weeks now. i’m playing around with colorwork in my crochet, because i love it and just don’t see it happening much (now, colorwork in KNITTING, that’s another story).
anyway, i think i mentioned before that i am participating in a whopping FOUR craft festivals this month, so i thought it was high time (being August and all) that i gave you all the details in case you want to mark the dates and make plans to come out and say hello!
THIS saturday, Sept 4th, i will be at the Kingston Farmers’ Market from 9-2, with my cohort Jill representing Double Knot Studio. we’ll be bringing our handspun and handmade goodness and discussing our new classes! come check out the craft vendors AND fill your basket with local fresh veggies, cheese, fruits, honey, bread, pastries (omg the croissants from Gabriels are heaven!) and all kinds of good stuff…
also THIS Labor Day weekend, Sept 4-6th, my work will be for sale as part of my spinning guild’s booth (the Ulster County Handspinners) at the Woodstock New Paltz Arts & Crafts Fair at the New Paltz fairgrounds. our guild’s members are spinners, dyers, weavers, knitters, felters and crocheters, and we’ll all bring our best pieces. i will be there monday from 10-2 demonstrating spinning and helping at the booth. find us at booth DFAC 09.
saturday, Sept 18, 7:30-10pm Squam Art Fair in Holderness, NH (not too far from Boston, or anywhere in New England; get directions here). i will be back at Squam this month as a volunteer, to take some classes and sell at the Art Fair saturday night. i have no doubt it will be thoroughly awesome all over again! my super dear old friend Jen of Raeburn Ink will also be there with her gorgeous tees and other printed goods!
and finally, Sept 25 & 26 i’ll be heading further upstate to the 2nd Southern Adirondack Fiber Festival, where i’ll have my own whole booth of clothes, crochet, and even some yarniness if all goes according to plan. Jill will be here too, as will Jenna of Cold Antler Farm (i can’t wait to meet her!)
