Catching up on blog and Facebook posts this morning, I’m reminded of the tradition of “the Rhinebeck sweater,” the idea that one should parade around Rhinebeck wearing freshly-minted handknits. And then I’m reminded that I’m planning to go to Rhinebeck for the first time next year. That means I have one year to come up with a new sweater. Should I start now? Or would that be too early? It seems that tradition also states that one should start knitting no sooner than mid-September, or that weaving in the ends on way to Rhinebeck is some sort of badge of honor. If so, I’m sure I can pull it off. I can procrastinate with the best of y’all.
