Awesome, good idea!

This is so pretty! I didn't even know New Haven had a lit up tree in the town green. I love holiday shopping around there this time of year...

I may very well check that out :)

Omg there is an app called meetup that I use for niche groups like this. I know there is a group that meets at this yarn place in Woodbridge but it’s riiiight on the New Haven line. The app is wonderful and has connected me with cool people. And also, if it’s not near a bus line, you can throw out that you are looking for a ride and someone will usually help

Oh thats great! I wouldn't have to start anything lol. I'm on the 238 bus though so it looks like that would be tough. Eh, maybe it wouldn't cost too much to take a taxi.

Ah okay. I was only in there once and I remember it being relatively large but I do have a bad memory.

Sweet! I am really thinking of trying to make something happen, as long as it's just a few of us. I'm thinking the Hamden Common Grounds or Hamden library since I don't have a car. I just hit follow on your profile not to stalk you but just to not forget you if I ever have any news :) I'm moving in next month.

Common grounds is great but doesn’t have a ton of seating as a heads up. More in warmer months for outside, but still.

Oooh nice

If there isn’t, we should start one. I’m in Hamden too and this would be awesome!

excellent! looking forward to it

I got mine done at Torello Tire in East Haven.

I appreciated that they were honest about the fact that my car in its current state is not able to be aligned properly but they still got it as close as humanly possible.

Exciting! I am moving in on Jan 7th, in the meantime I'm following you here but like not really following you just wanted to save your profile.

Knit new haven's knit night is every other tuesday from 6 to 8!

Hi!! I am also 38 lol. I'm married to a guy but I recently realized I've kind of always liked girls and literally all my friends are queer.

I looked up gather and I don't think I could get there on the bus. I don't have a car :/ I was suggesting Common Grounds in Hamden if you like coffee?

Do you mean the knitting store Knit New Haven? I saw they have a group on Tuesdays. Looks kind of not my scene though. Although if the three of us here on this thread all go together we can take over like in an old pop-punk music video.

Yes you’re right but it’s still my fav. I think Modern is the best New Haven style. I also really like zuppardi’s

Also to add to those Ceresa is amazing she runs “endangered stitches” and teaches classes for knitting and sewing

it's your party, you can have it wherever you want I'd go there, it's not far from me at all and I drive. it's right next to Joann too lol

Hi we are the same person. Jk but I am 38, bi, and moved to New Haven just a few months ago. I knit and I’m learning to sew! There is a knitting store in New Haven with a stitch and bitch every other Tuesday. I haven’t been yet but I’ve been meaning to. Or I love “gather” a cafe in east rock which I believe has a crafting night or is just a cozy spot to meet up

Lmao my heard be red as well. I don't drink (not out of principle I just hate the taste) so I might not be a bar's favorite customer. I am a coffee fiend. Common Grounds is near where I'm moving to. They're a pretty big space, lots of tables, and yummy treats. Sorry to skew toward what's closer, I have no car.

i don't want to walk into that store with my red heart lol I, too, am creepy so I'd like that!

if you're open to bars, I think three sheets might be good now that they have brighter lighting

I am going to reach out to them :) I don't think evenings would be good there but maybe a weekend morning once a week or every other. And not to be creepy but if you are interested in hanging out to get stuff done we could meet together pretty much any coffee shop or library. I used to have a craft buddy like that, it was a lot of fun and I was so much more productive.
I was looking at the Knit New Haven thing too, I might try that but it can be boring when everyone's talking about "yarn culture" lmao

that's a really cool place. I'm not sure how busy it would be during the day (I've only been at night) but it's really close to quinnipiac so there's potential for crowding.

also I'd be interested if it was evenings or weekends :) I need motivation to finish a project or two lol
