I am a northern Russian (Karelian) transplant to northern Minnesota, have been here since 1995 and love it! You wouldn’t believe it, but I moved 15 degrees south as far as latitude is concerned. I am enjoying my life in tropical Duluth (everything is relative, you know).

I like to explore various horizons, mostly on my own terms. I like the challenges of knitting and get exited easily about new techniques and new adventures. Time in the only limit… a “time-turner” would have been MOST handy :) I like to enable others, it is most exiting and inspiring to plant a seed and see it grow.
