About Donna

Once upon a time there was a little girl who was all “thumbs” and a “lefty” who thought a purl was something strung on a necklace.  All attempts to teach me by my “right-handed” relatives were a dismal failure.  Many years went by and I began to commute to Philadelphia by rail.  Fifteen years of rail to be exact.  During that time I ran out of bestsellers to read and decided to teach myself to knit.  My first pieces were something only a mother would love, but I found a craft that has become my passion.  My method is straight forward and simple.  The only requirement is your desire to learn.  The rest is up to me!

Come and spend time with me and you will be astounded with what you can achieve!
