A very iteresting story of a knitter from Alaska that grew up on a boat. Read more about her story here.

Dana Stabenow was born in Anchorage and raised on 75-foot fish tender in the Gulf of Alaska. She knew there was a warmer, drier job out there somewhere and found it in writing. Her first science fiction novel, Second Star, sank without a trace (but has since been resurrected as an e-book), her first crime fiction novel, A Cold Day for Murder, won an Edgar award, her first thriller, Blindfold Game, hit the New York Times bestseller list, and her twenty-eighth novel and nineteenth Kate Shugak novel, Restless in the Grave, comes out February 14, 2012.

I was also knitting, also taught at my mother’s knee. Looking back, I realize now that she must have been terrified that if she didn’t get me interested in something to do inside that I would be outside on deck.

I was just wondering what yarn is shown in the beautiful shawl above. It is a pink/blue/green bright wonder.

Hi Linda,
That photo was taken off of their website. However I did find a link to the place that may sell the yarn. Check it out here:
