virginia karlsbroten's Knitalongs

About Me:: My husband and I own a small farm in northeast Iowa and raise Red Angus and Limousin cattle. I have recently restarted knitting and am enjoying it more than ever, especially with the introduction of sites like this one and Ravelry. I also enjoy quilting and horseback riding and spending time with friends family and of course grandchildren. There is a lovely yarn shop in a town close to me...Blue Heron knittery in Decorah, Iowa. She, Sarah, the owner is very helpful.

My cat, Ebenezer, is getting up in years (16) and has a heart condition too, so I imagine he won't be with me much longer (though he's had his heart condition for 2 years and has been on pills twice a day that whole time and still keeps going). I try to appreciate him while I can--even if he gets in the way of my knitting or typing on the computer, like he is right now. :)

My head was SO sensitive when my hair was coming out. And stayed nearly that way all through chemo. So if you are knitting for warm weather wear like I do in GA,use a soft cotton. KP's simply cotton and Shine worsted are wonderful. And lots of colors. If it's to be worn in a cold climate I'd go with Merino It just needs to not be scratchy. PS- I love your photos! the flowers remind me so much of my MI garden.-Martha

I've only been spinning 3 weeks now. :) I don't have time, either- but I'm doing it anyway. :) You have some gorgeous landscaping pictures on your page! And the bride must be your daughter? Congratulations! The baby birds are soooo cute, too. What a cool picture. :) Happy knitting.
