GG does Rhinebeck 2017

Rhinebeck weekend has come and gone and I am drunk with inspiration. I didn’t capture all the fabulous sweaters but KristiGlassKnits did, check out the“Tell me about your Rhinebeck Sweater 2017″ I was so enthralled with all the people. I wanted to Vlog and that failed too!

The weather was perfect and the people just blew my mind. I will say this over and over again. The BEST part of Rhinebeck is the people. I will never ever tire of folks walking up to me and asking “are you GG or GGMADEIT” LOL I told one lady ‘nope” as I was hugging her! LOL!

THE Rhinebeck View

So this beauty is @cosmocomposureon Instagram and as soon as she responds to my note I will tell you the pattern for this fabulous dress! She was all “it’s GG” and I was all “that dress!!” I love the texture, those cables are so right! 

THe People

I can’t explain the sheer joy to meet folks that you follow online in real life. Folks expect you to touch and feel all the fabulous hand knits. The day is full of hug me, touch me and take a picture with me. It was so NOT sweater weather, but we rocked our wears as long as we could. Check out more pictures here 

Fiber friends Old & new

In this cyber world you make connections, you talk to folks (virtually) everyday, so when you meet them and you are me..you scream! Aniqua from My Kinda Thingand her fabulous dolls. I low key tackled her! hahahahahahaaaa

The bobble shrug at Rhinebeck

Of course I wore my Shrug! I was blown away by the reaction from everyone. I love that folks wanted to try it on and it looked good on everyone. The level of pride was off the charts. I don’t know what felt better, seeing folks with my shirts on or the Shrug love. Bonnye was a tester and she has already done a second one. 

Wait it’s Shelli,can !!!!!!

THe GGmadeit Shirt spotted at RHinebeck

Seeing my shirt all over the fairgrounds really rocks my chain! Guys I cannot make you understand my sheer joy!! I missed Heiressknits so I borrowed her picture! LOL. Please check out the highlight of the trip. I met the smallest GGmadeit fan ever and she had on the shirt.

I will never find the words to express my gratitude for all the love and support!
