Chat and Craft Dates

[DesertRose]

So, a while ago our lovely Revanne got on video chat with me to help me figure out how to cast on while knitting (a thing I had known how to do in my adolescent years but had lost the muscle memory) and I helped her with a problem she was having with the crochet stitch known as a single crochet in the US but a double crochet in the UK (because two nations divided by the same language, I guess?).

We had fun, so we decided to do it again and Evie joined us, and we had even more fun.  Nezz and DerynifanK both expressed an interested, and we were going to go for a third time today (Saturday 12 February 2022) but Life in various iterations happened and the chat didn't come together.

We will be doing this on the Rhemuth Castle Discord server, in the voice chat channel called "L'Arc-en-Ciel Tea Room" because I had to be a fancy pants and come up with something that sounded like a place to chat while working on handwork projects.

If you're interested in joining us, please vote in the poll.  Time will generally be around 8:30 pm GMT/3:30 pm US Eastern, to make it workable for as many of us as possible, but we can probably tweak the time too.

And if you have other suggestions of dates/times/etc, please comment below!

I think I added the wrong dates in the poll; I meant to mark the two Sundays, not a Sunday and a Saturday.

Since only you and I had voted yet, I just reset the votes.  I re-voted, so if you want to respond the way you meant to, you're clear to do it now.

I could normally do Sundays but am away for the next 2 visiting relatives.

I could normally do Sundays but am away for the next 2 visiting relatives.

And the following Sunday will be early chat, so that preempts Chat and Craft.  But the Sunday after that (13 March) is probably a decent contender, even if we do one between now and then.  We can do this as often as we like, since it's just for fun.

So we crafted and chatted via Discord today, and the neat thing about using Discord (as opposed to Zoom) is that it doesn't have to be scheduled because using the Discord video/voice chat doesn't require an admin/mod.  You just join the channel and turn on your microphone and camera.

I think I'd like to try to schedule some more, just for convenience's sake, but the Tea Room is open for anyone who'd like to voice/video-chat about off-topic stuff.  (There's a Deryni Talk channel for on-topic, as well.)

How do we feel about doing another Craft and Chat on Sunday, 27 March, around 3:30 pm US EDT?

[Evie]

That works for me.

[Jerusha]

I'll try and make it this time. 

[Nezz]

I'll probably be able to make it for a little bit, at least...

Ok.  Keeping in mind that I haven't had coffee yet, how do I get to the Dominion Server?  And are there specific crafts done each week, or whatever we feel like doing?  Please help with as much info as you can.  Thanks.

Hi! I already had a Discord account before the forum had a server there, but I think if you click on the Discord box at the bottom of the page, it should give you an invitation to the server. Read this link first, as it contains additional information: https://www.rhemuthcastle.com/index.php/topic,2591.0.html . And we aren't working on any specific sorts of crafts, so bring anything you happen to be working on at the moment.

[Drianax]

Thanks so much!

[DesertRose]

Thanks so much!

And if you need an invitation to the server, do let us know.  It's a simple thing to send it to you via forum private message.

How do we feel about the next few Sundays for chat and craft?  I know next Sunday is Palm Sunday and the one after that is Easter, so maybe the 24th would be best?

Or maybe 3:30 pm EDT/8:30 PM BST is late enough that church commitments will be finished for those who have them and we can do it next week, the 10th?

(I feel like Easter Sunday is probably a bad idea, but feel free to correct me.)

[Nezz]

Next week (April 10) 3:30 works just fine for me.
