About Norsk Needlework

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 (top left of page) 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.

I am now retired and have a beautiful small home in Washoe Valley Nevada that my son Paul built for me. We have our own small lake.

I have plenty of room for knitting and weaving. I am also working on some hardanger and teaching this lovely embroidery from Norway.  I will add some hardanger patterns In the future.
