Cafes seem like a cute idea, until you’re all there for four hours with your single cups of coffee. That’s not going to make the wait staff happy. Some craft stores have knitting groups, or would let you start one, but then you can’t make your favorite cups of tea (or drink wine. In moderate amounts. Because too much wine equals too many crossed stitches). Someone’s home is a good idea, if they have enough seating to go around and don’t mind being invaded and don’t have pets that will cause too much chaos.
