Dear Jan,
Sorry for the radio silence - work and work travel have left me behind in my post. Here are a few pictures from my weekend up north at the Sisu Designs Lost in the Woods knitting retreat. I had no real objectives other than to enjoy the sauna, so it was totally a success.

I’m off to Rhinebeck tomorrow. It’s hard to imagine that it will compete, except that it has the unfair advantage that Karen will be with me. (Hurrah! to go to a fiber fest with a dear daughter!)
I wish you were with me, too.
Love,
Ellen

So beautiful! You’re having a fiber fall perfect month, aren’t you? See you in Rhinebeck, where I hope the leaves will be reliably stunning too.

Rhinebeck is usually stunning at this time of year, with all the leaves between gold and fiery red; you’ll love it. Wish I could be there.

Absolutely gorgeous! I love all of those photos, but I particularly want Erica to dye colorways for the first and last ones
Enjoy Rhinebeck for all of us who can’t get there!

Love. those. colors! Especially the first one. I think I may just have to work on Jocelyn’s request up there…seems like it might be impossible to resist!
