“Lovely to meet you, Elloren,” she replied, with a smile of her own. “I remember how chaotic it could get in the barracks. At least in the Weaver Hall I could stay in my family’s quarters and get some peace and quiet when I needed it. Though I’ll admit I missed the winter gossip inherent in a spinning circle, even if the women were sometimes just chattering away like wherries.”
Deftly pulling some of the fiber and checking the staple length as she spoke, she hooked it onto the spindle, getting a few twists in before starting to spin properly and listening as Elloren talked about the project. “After blocking, of course. I hate knitting sometimes; at least on big projects like that. It’s turned out nicely though. The colors should suit you.”
She smiled again as the young woman complimented the blue. “Thank you. A friend I knew from the Hall sent it as an early gift for Turn’s end. Her brother and I were... close, and I kept in touch with her when I was Searched. He loved dark blues and things and I grew fond of them too.”
