Does anyone know how to knit?

Or, alternatively, does anyone volunteer to be the recipient of some awful beginner scarves and mittens or whatever under the assumption that I fill that first position.

I'm thinking it's about time for me to pick up a new hobby. Something that doesn't involve beating people up.

（ child assassins learning to be more than what they were made party of (way too many) aboard the ximilia.

perhaps that is why he reaches out in kind — ）

To speak of hobbies.

You mentioned dancing, once.

Would you teach me?

[deaddrop]

I did. And I do.

[The request is interesting. Dancing is normally something sort of private for Natasha, but that's been changing.

And most people don't ask her to teach them.]

That would be one way to pass the time. We can give it a shot and see how you like it.

[blackfire]

Before or after your knitting lessons?

（ yes, he teases her now. it's a whole ass thing. ）

[deaddrop]

Hey, I needed to think of something common that I don't already know.

We can start any time. I already have a sim made. It wouldn't take much tweaking to include you.

[blackfire]

Do you play an instrument?

（ he ... doesn't, in theory. not in the sense that he enjoys it. but he can play, and could very easily teach. a skill, once learned for an undercover mission, long held in the vault of perfect recall.

the sharingan, as it happens, has its uses. ）

Very well. At your leisure, then.

I'm terrible at it, but technically, I know of knitting. Wouldn't mind awful projects.

How about knucklebones?

[deaddrop]

You might have to teach me that one. It's a game, right?

Like dice, or...?

[heyciri]

Not so much. You toss the knucklebones up and see how many you can catch on the back of your hand. Not that your opponents won't try distracting you, they always do. You just can't interfere directly.

I made a set when the transporter dumped me back here instead of where you all went.

[deaddrop]

So there's some skill involved. Sounds like dexterity.

You'd have to show me, but I wouldn't mind learning.

If that gets old, we can fall back on knitting again.

you came to the right place, hon. i love a good fingering weight same as anybody.

what sorta perls of wisdom are you looking for?

[ Knitting jokes. You've been warned. ]

[deaddrop]

You can start with what fingering weight is.

[Because it sounds dirty, not that she'd say that to Jake.]

How do you feel about taking a student?

[doooooog]

[ Ironic that she wouldn't, considering that was his intention. We're all adults here, Natasha, c'mon. ]

that'll all come later. first we gotta establish your level of commitment. how many hours a day are you willing to dedicate to this?

[deaddrop]

[There are children youth present. And the dog thing is still a little weird.]

A day? How many hours a day do you have to commit to it?

I figured it'd be something to keep my hands busy.

I can knit, but it's not my favorite. I like weaving more.

As far as hobbies go, it's not a bad one.

[ she also thinks natasha deserves a hobby without violence! ]

[deaddrop]

Weaving seems like it would be more complicated somehow.

That's probably a weird thing to assume, hm?

Still, scarves are pretty nice.

[oiorpata]

I'll give you it's harder to lug around a loom than needles. But basket weaving's more mobile.

A scarf is probably a good place to start.

[deaddrop]

It can't be too hard. Not like it has too many weird shapes. No sudden turns.

[a2brutus]

I do.

I don't know how good of a teacher I would be though.

[deaddrop]

Yeah? Any particular reason?

If it helps, I can pretty much assure you that you wouldn't be the worst teacher I've ever had.

[a2brutus]

Because I've never actually done it.

Also teaching isn't really my strong suit. I don't think I've ever taught anyone anything.

[deaddrop]

Only one way to find out.

You don't kill people who don't pick up the lesson, do you?

Audio; un: belova

[laviny]

Wait, really? You are going to knit?

voice; un: romanoff

[deaddrop]

You don't have to sound so shocked.

And I don't know. Maybe.

Why did I format the last tag when it was supposed to be audio, idk

[laviny]

It will be fun, you will see.

[a beat]

You will use colors besides black, right?

<3

[deaddrop]

For you? I'll use my little pony pink.
