Orette Poliquin is a stay at home mom who lives in Auburn Maine with her husband, 2 sons & 2 dogs.
“Shortly after I got married, 26 yrs ago, my husband sold insurance till late at night. I was looking for something to do so I taught myself to knit. Well, the 1st time I picked up a pair of needles, I was hooked. I haven’t stopped & don’t plan to anytime soon.”
“Knitting is a relaxing, almost meditative art that you will not want to put down. You can learn to knit in a few moments & love it for a lifetime. I can help you with your own work in progress or start on a new project.”
