jo passed, knitting, Malled, and Patrick Watson & Charlotte Cardin

This is my very special quick burst, quick picks column. Also known as “dang this jet lag is killing me but I should still put out the quick picks this week” edition. I’m only covering singles and I’m using very few words. Am I mailing it in? That’s for you to decide.
