"Yer mother never taught ya t' knit?" Kitty was genuinely surprised, and at Julia's offer, she chuckled softly, "Tha' sounds lovely, 'specially since I've got m' own li'l library from m' younger sons. But I still can't believe yer mum never taught ya t'make anythin'. If it's beneath a lady t'do it, who else'll do it? Here, all th' women're ladies, not jus' th' highborn like yerself." She turned her gaze to Valentina, "Val, love, can ya get me m'yarn an' such?"
"Of course," Valentina rose, stepping over to the corner beside the hearth to pick up a basket full of all manner of balls of yarn and knitting needles. She came to set the basket on a small table by Kitty's chair, and Kitty pulled out a white yarn ball and a pair of needles.
"Now, look 'ere, dearie," Kitty placed one needle in Julia's hand. "Ye make a slipknot on th' needle, see," her weak hands easily controlled the yarn and created the knot. "Leave yerself a li'l tail with th' end o' the yarn, then take the tail end an' th' workin' end in yer fingers and round yer thumb like so..." She explained slowly and showed Julia her every move, creating fifteen cast stitches. "Here," she placed the needle and yarn in Julia's hands. "Make yerself twenty more, jus' like I showed ya."
Kitty spent the afternoon teaching Julia with the utmost patience and great excitement as she picked up the skill, paying Julia far more attention and giving much more love and encouragement than her entire family combined. Valentina left them be, but was within earshot. As they reached a new row of stitches, Kitty sat back watching Julia quite proudly. "It's lovely havin' a lass about th' keep again. Val's good comp'ny but she's a warrior, ranks up yonder wi' Brogan in skill. In fact, I 'magine she could woop 'im if 'e made 'er mad 'nough. Nearly 'as a few times. An' 'sides Val, all th' women 'round 'ere are too busy with their li'l families t'keep an ol' woman like me comp'ny. 'Specially since I started wastin' away like I am." She didn't seem bothered that much by it though. "Real nice t'know a lady'll be about t' take care o' Brogan. Lad'll ferget t' eat when a lot's goin' on, ferget t' even try ta sleep 'r drink. But 'e's so good ta th' people..."
