February 12, 1-2 pm

Because of the ongoing CoVID restrictions, Saturday Snips will continue to be held virtually. If you’ve been hesitating to join a virtual SNIPS, we’d like to encourage you to jump in and give it a try. It’s only an hour out of your day but in this time when we feel so separated it’s nice to have a chance to connect. Past participants have been enthusiastic about the experience.

“…nice to see everyone and hear them…”

“I enjoyed the conversation.”

“…a group conversation rather than individual conversations. I really liked that.”

Most people bring something to work on (just like a live SNIPS). We catch up on current projects, share the latest news and show off our finished pieces. It’s a nice break from the “Groundhog Day” life of COVID.

To Join – click on the link below or cut and paste it into your browser about 5 minutes before the meeting starts.

Join us at The Courtyard Artists and Artisans (212 St. George St., Annapolis Royal) for International Crochet Day. WEATHER PERMITTING! Bring a chair, a snack and whatever you’re working on. Non-crochet projects are fine, too. This is an outdoor event with no rain date. Current COVID protocols will apply.

As is our tradition, there will be no Saturday Snips in August. We’ll let you know as soon as we can whether September’s Snips will be a Zoom meeting or an in-person one. Stay tuned!

Due to today’s weather, Stitching at the Courtyard is cancelled.
