I like my tools to be beautiful too - although my shuttles (only 2) are shuttles I bought from a European company. I'm not even sure what language I was shopping in when I bought my bobbin winder. I bought shuttles at the same time. Enjoy your new shuttles - they make me wish even more that I'd gone to Rhinebeck! Sue Those shuttles look beautiful!!

I have a cherry and a walnut. They don't use the white plastic Schacht bobbins, but the wooden version works fine. With the closed bottom, they g-l-i-d-e across with ease. These are joyful shuttles. My workhorse shuttles are the 12" Schacht end feed shuttles. ANd, I couldn't agree with you more. There's nothing as wonderful as finely crafted wooden work tools. Taken care of properly, they age nicely and improve with time. The Bosworth’s are my top favorites. I have a cherry and a walnut.

I described it as empty. http://livnletlrn.blogspot.com/2009/10/past-few-days-and-more-stitches.html Either way, we clearly have similar feelings about our Stitches experience. My 11 y.o. knitter daughter and I have decided we're glad we checked it out, but prob. won't go back, even though Hartford's only 10 min. from home. See you 'round the sheep and wool festivals!

I had wondered about it....but didn't sense nearly as much positive energy around it as there is around Rhinebeck. That is really too bad about the no photo policy. No photos even for personal use??? (I know that means you couldn't put them in your blog, but I like to take photos as a way of seeing and as a way of remembering.) Sounds like you now have even more interesting projects that I'm looking forward to seeing!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this event! Sue Good to hear your review of this event!!

This was my first Stitches & I can't compare it to Rhinebeck since I've never been, but I found everyone warm & friendly. I came on my own & had no problem meeting people, being approached by strangers & chatting with anyone & everyone around. I guess I'm a "old" 37. Sorry you felt that way.
