      I thought this was maybe a little harsh but then I watched the other videos she linked and their experiences were so horrifyingly bad. I don't know anything about the organizers or their intentions, but anyone who can blow basic event essentials (like making sure vendors know where their space is, that vendors get their info and credentials, and that vendor spaces have the promised resources) this badly doesn't deserve another chance at throwing the event.

Super disappointing that the event wasn't able to organized in a safe way or for less than fully abled bodied people. We are all of us one day away from being not fully abled and it is important to ensure accessibility and equity are top of mind.

    The 4 days of radio silence by the organizers followed by the non-apology apology was a foul. And I was very disappointed in Louis who explained that he waited to say something until after the organizer posted because she is his friend. Adella, on the other hand, rightfully spoke out, even though that same person is her friend. The sponsors were wronged, the vendors were wronged, the attendees were wronged . It’s going to take a lot to make things right. I suspect that the organizer was more interested in the VIP night she organized as well as the bus trip there, and Somehow forgot to take care of her vendors.

    • @amywf
      @amywf 8 месяцев назад +26

      I think the organizer was most interested in the money from vendors and attendees, some $250k or more by several estimates.

      @playhooky 8 месяцев назад +8

      I don't know anything really about the person (Felicia?) who runs Wool & Folk, but I wonder - if the vendors hypothetically would sue her to get their money back, if it would bankrupt her. I hope not, but . . . . if she was going to do right by the vendors & refund the booth fees for any who request it, she surely would have already done it, so I'm betting she has mishandled her finances & won't be able to refund them.

    Thank you for commenting on the entire weekend, and also W and F. I agree 100 percent that the vendors who lost $ on this event (some did well indoors apparently) should be refunded by the organization. Personally, I was astounded at the $50 or more entry fee to begin with, no matter how terrific an event is. So glad I didn't go.

    I get the sort-of-claustrophobic feeling. Hope the good feelings outweigh the negative and the organizers get the issues sorted out.
    I love our local fibre festival. Few thousand at most, lots of space and adorable animals.
    The knitting designers handbook you purchased is on my list. It goes up for sale on line this week. Yeah. I'm even going to take their courses on tech editing for crochet. When you get a chance, would you review the book for us as it must parallel with crochet designing on several aspects.

    • @loupgarou95
      @loupgarou95 8 месяцев назад +20

      To make it worse, at least some of the cardboard was the property of a vendor that had gotten permission to store boxes so that they could easily ship their leftover stock back after the festival.

      The actual answer is those huge thick rubber/plastic sheets that are also wheelchair accessible. That's what my local events use for the main "roads" through the outdoor space.
      Not like those "event organizers" thought of disabled people at all though.

    As a veteran vendor at many🎉 arts and craft, rock and mineral, metaphysical and similar fairs including fiber fairs hearing your assessment was so validating! It's all about caring about the people who really make the gathering happen, the exhibitors and attendees many travel at great expense, take off from work, and prepare for an event. Egos need to be suspended when your working on a event.

    • @mandisaw
      @mandisaw 8 месяцев назад +5

      Once & future event organizer here - it's all about professionalism & reputation. The business model isn't really unique - anyone can sign venue contracts and collect vendor fees. What sets an event apart is its team, and the relationships you cultivate over the years. If you f*ck that up, there's no point contracting a location - there won't be a "next year".

    I live in Scotland, so I'm always excited (and a little jealous) to hear about the wonderful times everyone has at Rhinebeck and other American textile craft festivals. Hearing about Wool and Folk this year was such a shock, and it's the only time I've heard so many scathing (but fair) accounts of attendance at a festival!
    Had I been attending Wool and Folk, I can almost guarantee that I'd have had to turn tail due to lack of nearby accessible parking at the venue or the long wait in a queue just to get INTO the venue. I have accessibility difficulties and that carry on would've been enough to put me off, let alone everything else that has been reported about the other dangerous conditions.
    Just the fact that they were expecting 3,000 but only had ~10 accessible parking spaces is absurd!

    I saw you from a distance at Rhinebeck on Saturday but I also saw a bunch of admirers and friends and thought I would catch up with you later. Your sweater was gorgeous and so were you. The rain was a downer Saturday but I wore my turquoise side to side garter stitch coat with a rain coat occasionally on Saturday and without a rain coat Sunday. I made it with Lopi yarn. I tried to bring a pop of color.😊 I heard about Wool and Folk from a few people who were there. The vendors really got a different experience. I plan to skip Rhinebeck next year to give myself 2 years to use up the yarn I purchased. 😂

    Hi Toni! I was very intrigued by your comment on colors - or the lack of vivid color at Rhinebeck. I run a small printables shop on Etsy and have been noticing a marked lack of vivid color in my competition's listings. I started researching this and discovered that the muted Boho look of the 70s was finding its way into color palettes everywhere - to the point where I started to do the same with some of my things. I think this is a phase that's working its way through almost everything. But you are inspiring me to not be afraid of using a wider range of colors which include more of my favorite vivid hues. So thank you for that!

This wasn’t simply pissing off a friend or associate, but rather thousands 😳 AND that’s just the attendees/vendors/sponsors AT the event. Not to mention the countless number of us who weren’t there.
      She may have lost friends, business associates, vendors etc who’ll never work with her again, patrons like myself who’ll never attend that particular event…etc etc. What an overall shameful & embarrassing ordeal to experience, the fall of one’s reputation for all the fiber world to see😔. If this were her intentions, this money grab….then I hope it was worth it🥺

The way your words are so beautifully uplifting and how you find the joy in even an uncomfortable situation is just a balm to the soul. I’m turning 30 this year and I’m not sure if it’s made me more introspective, but I’ve realized that my default tone at some point became cynical and apathetic and that was echoed in almost all the content I consumed.
    Finding a hobby like crochet, where I get such a sense of accomplishment from seeing what my own hands can create and finding voices like yours that remind me to focus on the joy in everything instead of fixating on the negative, has really helped pull me out of the hole I hadn’t even realized I was in. 💖💖💖💖

    Oh Toni, thank you so much! I’m a knitter and a crocheter! I always seem to get stuck when doing schematics! This book is great for someone like myself! I’m buying you a coffee to go along with a preorder of this knitting pattern handbook. Thanks again for putting this one out there!

    I don't know you. I'm not even fro the US, but I saw the beautifull sweater on the thumpnail and had to click. 😂
    Now I'm a bit horrified of the storie. The poor vendors and visitors. I can't even imagine 3000 People on a yarn-event. (I'm Swiss, so there would be a maximum of 100 People here 😅)
    Thanks for the Video!

    Thx for such an indepth sharing of your weekend. Shame what happened at W&F, and Felicia probably wont get another chance after that fiasco. I wanted to head up for a few days, but decided not to. W&F was on my itinerary, but honestly would have not paid $50 to shop! Never paid that much. Ever! Glad your experience with Rhinebeck was much better. Hoping next year will be better for me to attend. Love your sweater!

    I didn't know you would have been at any of the Friday events. I live local to Rhinebeck, and Kingston. I had hoped to go to just the sheep and wool, but the weather and day to day got in the way. Hope you will be here next year, and would love to know if you will be doing Friday events too? I will take the day off to attend. I work in Saugerties and had no idea that one of the events was at HITS . I'm a crochet lover and started around 7 or 8. Taught by my Mom, Grandmother and a dear friend of my Grandmother. Hope next year goes better!!

      I'm a "City gal" & fellow-crocheter from a young age :) Been to Rhinebeck for Sheep & Wool a few times, but only as a one-day getaway with family & friends. We shied away due to the weather - it's just not a good time with the kind of Biblical rain we got that weekend (esp Friday OMG).

    Hi Toni!! It was so good to see you and your mom again. By the time we met this year it was in the thick of W&F and many people were over it, including myself. I'm glad you made the best of the weekend and echo your thoughts about W & F.

    Sunday really is the day to go to Rhinebeck, I feel like you are right that it is more chill on that day. I also want to say thank you for being so personable! I ran into you at the end of my shopping day on Sunday and it made my afternoon. You and your mom are really the sweetest. Thank you for being you, hope to bump into you again next year. 🙂

    I always love your honest take on things; thank you for this great video!
    Also, re Scheepjes - it's Dutch, and I'll tell you as an American living in the Netherlands, s-c-h is ridiculously hard for us non-Dutchies to say. It took me almost a year of Dutch lessons before I could get the c-h to work every time, and I still struggle with adding the s in front of c-h (which they do often). If you want to get it spot on, it's a sss sound followed immediately by a back of the throat, gargle-y k sound. When you can't do that, it's acceptable (and a regional accent I think) to do the sss sound followed immediately by a kind of soft k sound. Kind of like saying "escape? yes!" but drop the e at the beginning (so just 'scape yes). I hope that's helpful!

    The Rhinebeck festival was something I went to annually with my daughter. We moved from that area and I really missed being able to attend. Thank you for behind the scenes and for the photos from a place I called home for decades. I’m so sorry that folks had such a terrible experience, because for us, that weekend was always magical.

    It was great meeting you and thank you for signing my book and chatting about Columbus etc. and you and your mom looked amazing! It was my firs time there, and my first fiber festival, so it was quite overwhelming and beyond any other experience! I did not attend any of the of the events and was so saddened to hear about W&F from two friends who had gone Friday and then discover more as time went on. Iit sounds like you had the best part after: spending time with your friends. And maybe also, some acquisitions....😉

    • @TLYarnCrafts
      @TLYarnCrafts  8 месяцев назад +1

    I really think i am going to stick with my tiny fiber fests in my own back yard. We are talking like 1 handspun fiber guild booth at my favorite fall fest and my local yarn shop that gathers about 10 vendors and some sheep and a couple food trucks on the one city block outside our little lys. I hope i can continue to shop online to support the wonderful artists that make the commitment to show up at these big events but going in person i dont think is on my bucket list.

    What a gem you are! Thank you for sharing the treasure trove of links and resources in the description. So much info - my inner busybee is on creative fire! I subscribed to your newletter too. What a joyful way to spend my morning. I am sorry for all the misery the wool show turned out to be. Such a shame for vendors who can't afford to waste their time & money like that. You alchemized the pain though! I have saved the links to a bunch of their sites for future shopping. Thank you❤️❤️❤️
