State of Denial – Part II – Contest October 23, 2006
Now that I am no longer pretending those socks fit, what I am pretending? Well every-knit-blogger and her sister went to Rhinebeck this weekend. i am sure that this week, almost every blog I read will have pictures of loot (Rhinebeck backwash – which I do enjoy looking at, but makes me jealous. Since I am stuck in beautiful California (where it was like 75 yesterday by the way -ha! take that) I think I might pretend that I have just come from Rhinebeck myself. I really don’t need anything new, so I will just dig through my stuff and pull out some favorites and look at them as if they are new. Want to see what I got?
click through the photo to see notes
highlights include… Sock yarn! orange from my dye-o-rama pal, Socks that rock leftover from stitches west, and gypsy girl creations from my SP8, and some black and red stripey (bride of frankenstein) that i made myself and am dying to knit up. there is also a big hunk of brooks farms duet in there. Oh and the fiber! oh the fiber! Merino. tons of it. it is soooo soft…
I really like all of this yarn, and it is plenty to keep my busy. It really would be a disservice to this beautiful stuff to add more yarn to the queue. Isn’t that better? you* should try it. Post a picture of your pretend Rhinebeck loot and a bit about it. Leave me a comment or a trackback by Friday, October 27 and my favorite one entry chosen at random will win some handpainted yarn (see prizes here). What are you waiting for? Get pretending!
*By “you” i mean someone that didn’t get to go to Rhinebeck. the lucky knitters that went surely got some new yarn, and don’t need any pity-yarn from me.
I was so jealous for a minute there. *L* Nice to know I wasn’t the only Cali knitter that stayed home.
I can do this. Just need to take some pics. I’ll be back. ;^)
HAH! I think that is an ingenious competition. Clearly I’m not eligible to enter, but I wanted to congratulate you on your ‘haul’ anyway.
I’m back!

three things. your site design is awesome. don’t you love brooks farm duet? and i’m about to go make a fake shopping photo shoot.
OH what fun!
I even DO have new yarn (I liked your Gypsy Girl so much I bought some Scout Socktoberfest yarn in a similar colorway).
If my new camera ever arrives, I’ll make up a fake loot shot too!
Here By Way of Cookie…
Ooooo I LOVE you Bride of Frankenstein Yarn!!
Nice Loot. You did well on your stash dive for Rhinebeck. *L*
Here’s My Fake RhineBeck Goodies. I went with Cookie. ;^) She made me buy yarn and roving and stickers and beads. She was just a bully! *L*

Question – I’m blogless – can I e-mail my goodies from not going to Rhinebeck???
The blogless are welocome to email pictures to karrie -a t- girlontherocks . com
Be warned – unless you tell me otherwise, I might post your picture!
Oh, good. I was starting to feel REEEEALLLY left out of all the rhinebeck stuff.
As a matter of fact, I already posted a pic of my pretend loot on Monday… Unfortunately, I had to spend 4 hours dyeing it to get it ready. :-/
I was feeling left out. Now I feel a bit guilty for what I did do in 2006. Pics will be up in a few minutes.
Oh, I didn’t go either, but you know…this yarn is just calling me…once I finish a little something else that’s on the front burner. But don’t you think this is just yummy! Better than I could get at Rhinebeck!

I just posted about my Rhinebeck non purchases. I’ve had so much fun not shopping with all of you!

Thanks for this great idea, Karrie!

What a super idea!!! I decided after pulling out purchases from the last couple of months that maybe it was a good thing that I didn’t go to Rhinebeck. Visit my post to see what I mean.
What a great idea! Although it has given me the irrational idea that I need to cast on with all of this “new” yarn right away!

Great idea, Karrie! I just posted mine.

Hey,
I can’t get the picture posting to work, have to try again later tonight, but my pretended yarn stash/buy, whether at Rhinebeck (US) or even Ally Pally (for the Brits)is Handmaiden sea silk.
I went back to the stash to see what goodies I had… what a nice way to remind myself what is waiting in the wings.

At the risk of being annoying, I went to R-beck. My purchases are in a pic on my blog – http://www.donnac368.blogspot.com/
It was fun, but crowded. Can I still play if I complain about it?
