EVENT: 75% Droning

A. 5270 Cunninghame Lane

[Koharu is hanging up a dozen American flags over her front porch. Where did she get these flags? Where did she get the streamer she is pinning up between them? We shall blame the drones and move on. She can't reach this one spot and she turns, looking for anyone to help with that pretty drone smile of hers.

She is not even afraid of boys guys. Perfect Mayfield Koharu was never abused
]

Oh could you help me, I just can't reach that high.

B. Heading to the fireworks

[ She's changed into a pretty sailor dress for the occasion and is carrying a bag full of blueberry muffins. She looks so happy--

Except she catches the eyes of a boy and looks nervous for a moment--

but she can't really remember why she should be nervous. Everything is perfect in Mayfield.

I've never tried. I'm good at mending and cooking--[Barely stops herself from mentioning that of course she was good at these things, Ukraine taught her]

Would you like to learn to knit?

[identity profile] willbeurweapon.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh--sure! I've never even tried.

[identity profile] motheringnation.livejournal.com 2011-07-06 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
We'll do that then. I have my stuff in the living room.

[identity profile] motheringnation.livejournal.com 2011-07-08 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
No, it's really easy to learn the basic steps actually. I've taught lots of people how to do it too.

[identity profile] willbeurweapon.livejournal.com 2011-07-08 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I'm sure I'll learn it quite quickly. You must be a good teacher.

[identity profile] motheringnation.livejournal.com 2011-07-08 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure you will.

And I'm alright, I've had lots of practise over the years.

[identity profile] willbeurweapon.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Did you ...re-gain these things from home or did you buy them here?

[identity profile] motheringnation.livejournal.com 2011-07-13 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
A bit of both actually.

A bought some things here and then got a lot of stuff from home back as well.

[identity profile] willbeurweapon.livejournal.com 2011-07-13 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
O-Oh I don't want to use things you got from home. Those are yours.

[identity profile] motheringnation.livejournal.com 2011-07-13 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
They are, and I want you to use them.

[identity profile] motheringnation.livejournal.com 2011-07-13 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I am. We can use the things from here first while you're learning. And later you can use some of the better yarn.

Now, first we're just going to learn a basic stitch.

[identity profile] willbeurweapon.livejournal.com 2011-07-14 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay! [She leans in to watch intently for whatever Ukraine will show her]

[identity profile] motheringnation.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
I'll teach you how to cast on later. But it's something like this.

[And casts on a stitch.]

You start like this, and then make a starting row.

[Demonstrates.]

That's always the hardest part so for now we'll go with a basic step. Alright this is how you do a normal stitch.

[And she shows her.]

[identity profile] willbeurweapon.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
[She watches intently, unsure but tilting her head] Oh...

A-Ah so...C-Can you do it again?

[identity profile] motheringnation.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course!

[Shows it again.]

[identity profile] willbeurweapon.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
[She mimes the action a few times, mumbling the idea to herself and nods] Okay I think I got that...

[identity profile] motheringnation.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
[She'll pass her over the yarn, showing her how to hold the needles.]

And try a stitch.

[identity profile] willbeurweapon.livejournal.com 2011-07-20 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[She tries! And fumbles it and tries again, making a single amateurish stitch]

[identity profile] motheringnation.livejournal.com 2011-07-21 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
Excellent! That's a good start.

[identity profile] willbeurweapon.livejournal.com 2011-07-29 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
Aha I hope I'll get better! [Trying a few more stitches]

[identity profile] motheringnation.livejournal.com 2011-07-30 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
You will. It just takes time and practise, that's all.

[identity profile] willbeurweapon.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you think I could make a scarf by Christmas? [A few more stitches]
