I would love to start something! I would have no idea where though. I have done things in libraries, but I've never started anything myself. There is this weird place in Hamden I haven't been to yet: https://www.facebook.com/bestvideoperformancespace/ It's part-coffee shop so maybe during the day sometimes they'd have nothing going on.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Not crowded during the day, and not really a QU hangout. My kids do a D&D club there after school once a week. It's a perfect place for what you're describing.
