On Tuesday, November 15 at 7 PM, author and knitter extraordinaire, Donna Druchunas, will be at the Waterbury Public Library to talk about her travels in Lithuania to learn about knitting traditions and to trace her family roots. Her talk will be accompanied by a slide show featuring photos from her research for her newest book, 'Lithuanian Knitting: Continuing Traditions'.
The program will combine Donna’s love for knitting and stories about history, culture and travel. Colorful samples of Lithuanian knitting will be featured, and copies of her recent books, 'Lithuanian Knitting' and 'How to Knit Socks That Fit', will be available to purchase.
