Hudson Street Stoop Mitts
by Kate Mills, Civil Providence.
In a small pocket of the Armory District in Providence, across from the Dexter Training Grounds, you will find Hudson Street. And more often than not, anywhere from April into November you will find folks out on their stoops in pairs or more, enjoying some time outside. These are the perfect mitts for a May evening or an October moment. Make some and get out on the stoop.
