Sheep, Wool, and So Much More!

Last weekend was the Sheep and Wool Festival, held annually on the 3rd weekend of October in Rhinebeck, New York (approximately 2 hours north of New York City).

There were sheep...



There was wool...



But, also... goats, llamas, alpacas and rabbits.

Basically, if you can make a sweater out of it, it was there.

Like this...


How cute are those ears?


And this face???


In addition to the sheep and wool, etc. there are workshops, lectures, sheep dog trials... and people from all over the country selling everything from yarn and supplies (stuff I never knew existed!), to the finished product.

It was a beautiful fall day...


If I'd just remembered to bring my checkbook, it would've been perfect!
