Patreon “Things” for February 2020

The monthly “Things” for our Patreon Patrons post on our Patreon Site at 9:00 a.m. today. On this month’s A Place At the Table we discuss knitting, which both Michelle and Aly like to do a lot. I like to wear the hats and socks they make. We all like their knitting so much, in fact, that we got a little carried away. This month’s episode is Part 1 of the discussion, which we’ll finish in a second part in March.
