Summary: Remus visits again
The wool tangled her fingers together again and Lilith sorted them patiently. She'd taken a pale yellow jumper from the wardrobe and undone the ends of the knit, carefully ravelling the wool and rolling it into a ball. It had taken most of yesterday to finish, working seams loose and tying the ends together neatly, and the resulting ball had been bigger than her two fists together. Good for something, surely. She'd played at the finger-crochet that Grandmama had taught her, pulling the loops tighter than she'd normally do, for the garment she worked on was small.
Tiny loops formed tiny rows. Her fingers worked nimbly to tuck the wool into them, back and forth, back and forth, staving off boredom with another kind of boredom, but at least there was variety in it.
She worked a last tiny row and wound the wool around her fingers, pulling hard to break the strand. The ends could be tucked in later with the handle of her spoon as a tool, and she laid the tiny bootie aside. It had only taken... Well. Since she'd been up this morning. Grandmama could have made one in minutes, and neater, but she had no needles or hook, and her fingers had spent a while relearning the task.
Lilith stared at the tiny slipper for a moment, then sighed and tied a starting loop in the end of the wool. Maybe she'd have the second done by supper.
