Question from JGoldman, “Rhinebeck and other festivals are coming up soon. The last time I went to Rhinebeck I felt excited, lucky, and extremely overwhelmed. I know that sounds crazy. But I am headed back this year. Would you describe how you approach these festivals? What are your strategies?

Thanks!

About Leslie

Leslie is obsessed with knitting, and when possible, perfection in her knitting. All stripey socks must match exactly and all lace must be blocked severely. She has major love for all of her viewers/readers and hopes to keep blogging and podcasting for years to come.
