Transcription

1 Donna has been studying traditional knitting for 30 years. "Folk" knitting is her passion, and she loves passing her skills and knowledge on to others. A designer and instructor for many years, Donna currently produces designs for Harrisville Designs and other publications. In order to promote folk knitting, she started her own company, Tree of Life Designs. She is also an accomplished spinner. Find her on Facebook at Donna Kay Tree of Life Designs. Workshop: Mosaic Knitting : spaces are filled!. ARRIVAL TIMES PLEASE time your arrival at ECNG general meetings for after 9:15 unless you have volunteered to help set up for the meeting. PLEASE try to carpool. There will be a membership list by town at the November meeting to help you find ECNG members who live in your town. If for some reason, you need to arrive between 8:15 and 8:45, do not stop or drop off anything near the circle. PLEASE, always, be watchful of the preschoolers and their parents. ECNG 1
