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

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.

Gather is right on the 223 line and very walkable from 224 (1 block) or 228(2 blocks) lines. In case that's helpful! I also think there are craft gatherings at Volume 2 (also on state) and at 3 sheets. They might not be as regularly scheduled as some of the other places that have been mentioned but they are very welcoming places in town

I'm on the 238, apparently not where any of the cool things are haha. Thank you :)

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

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

Hi yes I am the same as your first paragraph lol. I do have a car so I can definitely be flexible with locations. Yes I did mean the knit New Haven but I haven’t been there yet. Yes I’m into all of this!
