Donna Druchunas began her career as a technical writer for large corporations such as Pyxis, Hewlett Packard, Fujitsu, Top Gun Fighter Weapons School, and a few other small companies. She then worked for Medialab (a small software company) out of her home in Colorado. At Medialab Donna wrote copy and manuals for software. With over 25 years experience in technical writing, she has carried her knowledge over to the knitting world, writing patterns and developing books for fellow knitters. Her second book, Arctic Lace (about a knitting co-op in Alaska), is a smashing hit and has been in publication since 2004. After working with large knitting publishers, Donna has decided to try her hand at self-publishing. She has made several trips to Western and Eastern Europe seeking out the international history of knitting. Some of Donna’s career highlights:

  • Indie Yarn Dyer
  • 12 Knitting books
  • Audio CDs.
  • Knitting DVDs with Interweave.
  • Countless knitting articles in various periodicals.
  • Knitting teacher (retreats, wool markets, shops, guilds, craftsy.com).
  • Various Knit Alongs on Ravelry.com with many patterns (Ravelry: druchunas).

     

  • Online sock knitting videos with Craftsy.com.
  • Translation of German knitting books to the English language.
  • Successful website (sheeptoshawl.com) chock full of knitting information.
  • Worked with various knitting publishers as a tech editor in the industry.
  • Recently opened a local yarn dyeing shed to the local public.

And so much more. Crafting has always been with Donna since her elementary school days. She was born in New York City, but today lives in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont 20 miles from the border with Canada.
