About Me

My photo
Shanti
I am a plant person, slightly quirky, mostly harmless who loves to knit. I have 2 online businesses one for plants and seeds and one for selling Ice and Kuka yarns. In the past, I had fiber animals, spun my own yarn, and would only use what I spun. As I've gotten older, give me all ready spun thank you. I still like to work with natural fibers but can really appreciate blends with man made fibers. I particularly like to knit lace and am now working on prayer/meditation shawls. In the winter, I like to knit socks, sweaters, and mittens for the family.
