Linus and Talia on the first adventure!
there are less than two weeks until somewhere beyond the sea!!!!!!!!!!
today I am thinking about the implications of Linus learning how to knit. thinking about the joy Arthur would have after receiving a very lumpy pair of colorful socks as a gift (such a touching notion compared to Charles thinking Arthur's socks are stupid/too silly). thinking about a bashful Linus gushing over the imperfections, but that first pair becoming Arthur's favorite.
Linus knitting sweaters and vests for the children, getting better and better at patterns and sizing as their collections grow. special sweaters for christmas or birthdays!! a parade of pomeranians for Sal. yellow flowers for Phee. root vegetables for Thalia. etc. Theodore stealing stitch markers and adding them to his hoard, along with miscellaneous yarn scraps.
Arthur getting Linus a beautiful array of knitting needles, including ergonomic grips when Linus' hands start cramping. Zoe whittling a set of wooden needles as a gift. maybe eventually Linus picks up crochet as well.
thinking about Linus slowly becoming comfortable with knitting clothes for himself, and feeling good in them. that man belongs in an adorable homemade sweater vest, covered in symbols corresponding with each member of his family. it just feels so right that he should pick up knitting, he's such a perfect character for it.
