002 [TEXT]

[seered]

The ship at large should be pleased to know that not all of us were recipients of mangled body parts at the most recent jump. The time-honored Tranquility tradition of strange gifts from home magicking themselves into our lockers is not lost. Some of you were just unlucky this time, it seems.

That said, I am now in possession of a quantity of yarn, among other things. While I do not expect the aforementioned 'other things' to be of interest to anyone but violin enthusiasts and collectors of cocktail glassware, I have a hunch that knit goods such as scarves or communicator cozies might be somewhat in demand aboard a ship that rarely, if ever, deigns to pit stop near actual civilization. I am willing to offer this service in exchange for other goods and/or services and/or information, and can provide references and examples of my work.

In the event you enjoy this craft or would like to learn, I've also been given a few sets of spare needles, provided you don't mind that they seem to be made of suspect materials. If there is enough interest, we might even be able to start an organization more colloquially known as a "Stitch and Bitch". We have a great deal to talk about these days, after all.

((OOC: Hit up the opt-out post if you'd like me to turn the text off!))

[look]

"Suspect materials".

[seered]

They appear to be made of bone.
Given the running themes of the ship I'm not sure I need to elucidate more than that.
I'd imagine that knowledge might make some passengers uncomfortable.

[look]

Jesus. I don't suppose you'd consider turning them over for testing instead of using them for arts and craft?

[seered]

Certainly.
I was given three sets, I believe I can spare one.
In the event you don't destroy it in your analysis, however, I would like them returned to me.

[look]

Absolutely. Probably won't need more than a scraping.

I don't really ~get~ knitting? But if you need some extra bitch, I can complain until the cows come home from wherever cows go.

[seered]

It's a relaxing enough diversion.
If I can put a hobby towards a productive end while we're all stuck here, who am I to refuse?
Should you change your mind about learning, my offer is open-ended.
In the meantime, you are more than welcome to bitch to your heart's content.

[ex_question191]

Productivity, I can get. Also I would totally trade you some manual labor or a favor or something for like, knitted communication device protectors that I can attach to me in some way, since I leave mine everywhere.

[seered]

One communicator cozy with belt attachment in exchange for a to-be-determined favor.
I believe we have a deal.

[tg]

plz tell me they were alchemized out of dildos

[seered]

The purple kind with glitter.
Accept no substitutes.

[tg]

glitter up the cooter sounds painful
is it painful
do you get all bedazzled on the inside
is that like being warm and fuzzy only fucking terrible to wash out

[seered]

Don't be silly.
Anyway, it's completely irrelevant as they have been turned into knitting needles.
I don't suppose you'd be interested?

[jilt]

So something like a sewing circle, so to speak?

[seered]

That's the general idea, yes.
I'm not entirely sure about the actual stitching to bitching ratio, but the thought's there, at least.

[jilt]

I never was much for stitching, but I learned enough to manage. If such a group were arranged, I'd certainly like to be a part of it.

[seered]

I'd be very pleased to have you.
Do you require any materials?

[culver]

I would like to knit with you.

[seered]

I haven't forgotten.
You're more than welcome to borrow an extra set of needles, and I'd be happy to teach you.

[culver]

Alright. When?

[seered]

When are you free?
I'm glad to visit at your earliest convenience.

[ voice ]

[tailcrook]

Cozies... to keep them warm?

[voice]

[seered]

They're meant to be decorative carrying cases, mostly. Electronics don't need to be kept warm, but the cozies are attractive and can prevent your device from damage if you drop it.

[tailcrook]

That's a a good idea! I don't drop mine much, but it gets lost at the bottom of my bag sometimes... are they hard to make?

[seered]

No, not at all. I could teach you, if you're interested. It sounds like you are.
