November 2010, USAA's Winter Magazine shared Michele's story with 5.1 million of its subscribers. This generated over 600 hat requests from all over the world. In order to afford this mass request, Michele started her own business, Crepes de Pouce Gras, meaning Crepes of Fat Thumb. "I can knit hats during the week and sell crepes on the weekend!" said, Michele. Please visit the "Crepes de Pouce Gras" tab above and find out where you can purchase a delicious crepe.
