What do you get when you mix sheep, yarn, and a big group of knitters in their finest sweaters? Rhinebeck! The New York Sheep & Wool Festival is always one of my favorite times of the year, and this year promises to be filled with creativity, community, and maybe a few new skeins for the stash.
Mark your calendars for October 18–19, 2025, and join us for some exciting highlights—including a book signing, a group meet-up, and a raffle full of goodies—that will make your Rhinebeck weekend even better!
Book Signing
I’m thrilled to be back at the Merritt Bookstore Author Building (Building B) to sign my books, Patty Lyons’ Knitting Bag of Tricks and Patty Lyons’ Knitting Bag of Tricks: The Official Workbook. Come grab a signed copy, say hi, and swap knitting stories!
