For many years I have dreamed of designing Norwegian patterns to share. I have been knitting since I was 5 years old and began teaching Norwegian knitting to my friends when I was 10.  I had a brick and mortar shop called Norsk Needlework in Wyoming many ages ago. The sign for this shop was painted in Norwegian rosemaling by my father. You can see in the picture that the snow and rain took its toll. During the 10 years of the shop, I knit hundreds of ski sweaters and taught so many people to knit, loving every minute of it. For many years after this I was a cardiac/critical care nurse… but kept on knitting.

Now I am retired and finally have time to focus on design.   I am delighted we retired to the Oregon coast, where many of my friends have sheep, spin and knit. I too am spinning and teach at a wonderful yarn shop in Newport:   Yarn for All Seasons. I have been having great fun teaching fair isle classes. Check with Gayle at Yarn for All Seasons for upcoming classes.
