We learned about this event, which started last Sunday February 8th and will continue every Sunday until June 7th, through a great Red Hook resource, Red Hook Hub. They list all the events, meetings and other happenings in the neighborhood. This knitting group, which meets at Baked, is one of these unique events we found […]
