"Very good, they say that the first loop is the strongest because it starts the pattern," Iris smiled, "Now put the loop on the crochet needle and wrap another piece of yarn above it. Take the loop and pull it over the crrok and there's you're first stitch," Iris said showing Ruby with her own work.

Ruby did as she was told except the stich came out slightly crooked. Though the fox did not giveup and she kept trying and trying untill she succueded in making the perfect stich.

"You're doing very well," Iris said looking at the crooked stitches, "Now continue the wrap around and pull over pattern until you have thirty stitches then I'll show you how to start a new line," Iris said demostrating agan before letting her hands weave in and out of her yarn until she had thirty stitches, "See nothing to it."

"It's very relaxing, the patterns help to slow you're breathing and challange you're mind. Now flip your needle onto your stiches so now you have two loops on the needle now loop some new string and flip the second one over the first, and then the thrid over. Then move onto the next loop," Iris said showing Ruby witha small smile on her face on how much this reminded her of how her grandmother taught her.

Ruby gently obeyed and relaxed as much as she could. The usual hyperactive fox girl was relaxed by this kniting. It could probly help her control her powers as well.Who knows she might get her elemental animal powers if she stays this relaxed and focussed.
((Ruby looks cool when she is one with her element. She is a fox with little lightning bolts down the side.))

Iris watched Ruby and saw that she had the basics down before she returned to the other blanket she was making. She would have enjoyed starting another project, but she was still trying to earn money for Christmas.

"Well I think there's a little bit of a differnce between crocheting and sewing, but I'll gladly give you a hand with her jacket if you want," Iris said trying off a thread and starting a new one with purple thread.

Kitty rolled her eyes. There was nothing more boring to her than sewing. She put on her headphones and popped a magazine open.
((I actually like sewing, lol.))

"Believe me it's no problem, I can take new thread and use my powers to mend the new and old thread together and noone will be the wiser," Iris said taking to strands of thread and using her powers to bring them together.

"Feel free too," Iris said looking up from her work and smiling, "I'll be down here for a while and then I'm heading towards the music room."

Piotr blinked when a loud girl seemed to storm into the room. Muttering to himself he whispered "droopy faces?" Apparently she wanted the girls to go to a dance hall. A club in America. Piotr wondered if that would be a good idea...
