Fiber Arts in Fall

Fall is my favorite time of year and not just because the weather is still mild and without the humidity and not only because the leaves are turning the most beautiful colors, especially here in the Hudson Valley, but also there is a little chill in the air, just enough to get out your sweaters and keep warm with all that woolen loveliness.
The area where I live is most famous among knitters and other fiber artists for its annual Sheep and Wool Festival in Rhinebeck, NY, often referred to simply as RHINEBECK.
This year one local library, the Morton Memorial Library in Rhinecliff (right on the Hudson) organized an early kick-off to get into the swing of things with a Fiber Arts Show with knitted, crocheted, woven, quilted , felted, embroidered, cross stitched,...you name it, it's there....pieces from library patrons.  
Yours truly dropped off a shawl.
So, hurry on over to get inspired.  the show will last until the end of the month.

For those of you who are not living in or planning to visit this area, I also started a seven day challenge of sharing your creations on-line on my facebook page.  I started by sharing a different sweater and shawl each day and I hope others will join in with the fun and share any fiber creation.
