CHRISTMAS LUNCH
Rena Douglas and Shetland Knitting 

Thanks to Rena for sharing her historical items and knitting. She had her family's spinning wheel, Shetland knitting done by her aunts, knitting pouch, needles, books and wool. Rena demonstrated the knitting using the pouch. Fascinating heritage Rena has with the Shetland Isles. We appreciated and enjoyed this opportunity to hear about the background of one of our senior machine knitters.
