In the spring of 2020, shortly after the government-mandated lockdowns to help control the spread of coronavirus, I realized I had no hobby. Everything had become a hustle. As a freelance writer and podcast host, I (Nichole) already pretty much worked from home, but as job opportunities arrived further apart and I had more time on my hands, I knew I needed something more fulfilling in my life.
I decided to return to an old childhood hobby of cross-stitching. My mother had taught me this form of needlecraft, and it made me feel reconnected with her during a time I wasn t sure when I d see her again. It also helped ease the anxiety I was feeling about current events. When I sat down with my needle and thread, I was focused on counting out stitches and making sure I had the proper colors of embroidery floss. My fears and frustrations quieted, and I found immense pleasure in doing something I knew I d never monetize.

The queue at the Lincoln branch of the discount fashion chain filled the barriers outside the store, and spilled out onto the High Street up to the Stonebow.
It is then broke up again by Primark officials in hi-vis vests into a separate queue on Saltergate, where even more people were stood in line.
