Gregory Patrick explored through two memoirs the life of a male knitter, first while working as a server in the successful Firefly Cafe in Savannah, Georgia, to being homeless and living in exile twenty miles from civilization. "Will Knit For Food" is a culmination of both memoirs including "The Waiter and the Fly" and "Slip, Slip, Knit." Conquering adversity and homelessness, these two books contained in one volume catalog the human spirit through the crafting of hope.
