Home Economics, Tuesday, period 1

[carbontelepath.livejournal.com]

Today Emma is in diamond shape. She has listened to the radio and has no wish to be overwhelmed by traumatized minds, thank you very much.

The desks are covered with yarn in a variety of colours and styles, knitting needles and papers with instructions written down on.

"Today we begin Operation: Knit a Scarf," Emma announced. "At the end of this class, you can either choose to take your knitting with you, or leave it in your box. Either way I want to see a scarf in a fortnight. One you can comfortably tie around your neck."


ooc: wait for the ocd is up. Knitting time!

Make up whatever yarn you want! And even if your character can knit a sweater in an hour, Emma still wants a scarf.

Knitting was easy. River had soon made up a complicated pattern in pink and purple, suitable for a scarf.

Standing at her desk, Annette rubbed the soft, pink fuzzy yarn against her cheek while she read over the instructions.

She would definitely need the instructions. Still, she wondered how the heck she was going to make anything that looked like anything. Seemed impossible.

John did not do well with this. At all. He tied knots into his yarn, ripped the yarn and got tangled in the yarn.

He started thinking in curse words. Loud ones.

Stark was kind of hopeless at the knitting. Or very hopeless, possibly. He might get the hang of it eventually, but for now he was just glaring at the nice fuzzy yarn as if it were somehow at fault.

Setsuna had a little trouble getting the whole thing started, but, once that was over, she found the work to be pretty easy. All that knitting she'd done inexplicetely for last years Mahorafest was coming back to her.

The scarf she was working on was yellow, because the scarf she was working on wasn't for her. She already had a nice (if overly long) kint-scarf, and it was time to return the favour. Coincidently with something that could very easily cover up embarrassing marks left by leather collars.

Peter looked from the instructions to the needles to the heavier blue yarn he'd found back to the instructions and on to the needles, then the yarn again.

When he started to try to get the yarn onto the needles, problems occurred. And soon there was a Peter, hands and needles tangled up in a lot of heavier blue yarn.

Okay, Aeryn's just going to stare a lot at the needles and yard for a while and reconsider that whole leaving the Peacekeepers thing.

Tyler took some camouflage yarn (http://store.knitting-warehouse.com/303550.html) and began trying to knit.

He wasn't very fast, but he was meticulous enough that he was actually knitting. At this rate, he should have a scarf, say, by Easter.

Dean looked dubiously at the instructions and the supplies and wondered if they couldn't go back to cooking -- that at least he knew he could handle. Knitting... yeah. This was going to be interesting.

He finally chose some fuzzy black yarn and tentatively started to try and cast on, telling himself that it was just a bunch of knots and those he had experience with.

Number 6? Completely incompetent at knitting. He kept dropping stitches. Sometimes he dropped the needles, too.

Pam was very, very carefully knitting a scarf in pretty pastels. So far, she was doing well.

Of course, she also had roughly an inch of scarf.

Jamie's needles turned into pie.

And so did the next pair of needles.

So he just ate pie and played "Cat's Cradle" with the yarn.

Layla's mother had tried to teach her how to knit quite a few years ago, but the information hadn't really stuck. Now, she picked out a soft, dark green yarn, and hoped at least a few of the steps would come back to her.

Re: Knit

Demyx picked an electric blue yarn, but that was about as far as he got. The yarn wouldn't stay on the needles, and even once he got it on there, as soon as he moved it would fall off.

It didn't help that he was already antsy for classes to be over.

Re: Knit

Maia decided on dark green, black and red. She was going to make a scarf for G'Kar and thought the red would bring out his eyes.

Jim was better at this than he would have figured. The bar was set pretty low for that, though, so he was happy that he hadn't made himself bleed with the big needle thingies.

"Darn," he said every now and then. Whether it was a curse at the little scarfling, a command to the scarfling, or a little bit of both was unclear.

Talk to Emma

[carbontelepath.livejournal.com]

She'll reply if she feels like it.

Re: Talk to Emma

Number 6 didn't quite know how to broach the subject... "Ms. Frost?"

OOC

[carbontelepath.livejournal.com]

I have a headache today, woe, so Emma's going to be less active than usual. If you want to stab each other to death with knitting needles, she'll probably let you.

Re: OOC

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

Oooo, Stabbing with knitting needles! River has a cold and isn't in the mood unfortunately.

Re: OOC

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Wheeeeee stabbity!

Re: OOC

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

Maia's quiet today as well because Grad School and methods classes are swallowing her mun down with the threat of not resurfacing until June.
