Open Post: What a yarn

[sporesprouter]

There's still quite a bit of winter yet, according to the calendar, not to mention whatever Dark is, and Tress got an idea for a project fairly recently. It's appropriate and it gives her a chance to stretch out a skill she hasn't really gotten an opportunity to use in a while.

So she's in a cozy parlor, sitting curled up in a big comfy armchair right by the window, a basket of yarn at her feet, and she's knitting. It's still too early to be immediately obvious what it is she's knitting, but she's moving with the easy confidence that indicates it's definitely not a new craft she's just now decided to take up.

Sometimes, after all, it's nice to go back to something old and familiar.

"I'm glad I have it to rely on, at least. Especially when things around me are less than sensible."

"It is a good defense against the," Susan sighs, mostly for effect, "utter ridiculousness that sometimes besets a place like this."

She smiles a little. "Even utter ridiculousness sounds a little like an understatement, sometimes."

"You can say that again," emphatically.
