[As the video starts, Lark is clearly seated by a warm fire, the communicator pointed toward her, and her hands are busy with what is clearly a pair of knitting needles. She looks insanely comfortable doing this, even with the head of her dog in her lap, just barely on screen.]

Good afternoon all. I was hoping to request some assistance in assisting you. I'm trying to make mittens to help keep us warm when outside this winter. But I need hand sizes. Anyone who would like a pair is welcome to come visit me in the hotel so I can take measurements.

[Then she smiles, shaking her head. Chances were people might find that weird, but she moves on.]

Where I'm from, it's very common to work on projects like this in the winter, and it makes me feel at home to do such things. So I would like to do this, not only to pass the time, but to help you all keep your fingers warm and comfortable this winter.

Alas, we have no squash blossoms.

[crystalmaster]

That is a shame. Well, as soon as there are some somewhere.

[stitch_witch]

I don't think we have squash here.

[crystalmaster]

Back home then.

I wonder if the Agrii would grant a request for squash or if they wouldn't understand and just send something squashed instead.

[stitch_witch]

We could attempt to ask them. Perhaps squash seeds may be the better way to phrase it.

[crystalmaster]

That might work. We'd have to wait a while for results, but it'd be worth it.

[stitch_witch]

Then we shall have to try. I'm not sure if the replicator would know what they are, but we can try that too.

[crystalmaster]

Yeah, it's worth giving it a go.

[stitch_witch]

I shall set this as something to do in the spring. I need to get more fiber for now.

[crystalmaster]

There's a lot to do before spring comes. I wonder if it'll snow a lot more.

[stitch_witch]

I would hope so. Snow is good for plants in this sort of climate. They rest and await the spring.

[crystalmaster]

I didn't grow up with snow, but I encountered some later. And there's definitely been a lot of it here. I'm not sure what I think of it....

[stitch_witch]

It can be a delight. If I had syrup or honey I would make you candy.

[crystalmaster]

Snow candy? That sounds fascinating. I wonder if it tastes like ice cream or snow-cones.

[stitch_witch]

Oh no, it's not like ice cream. I don't know what a snow cone is though.

[crystalmaster]

Snow cones are like ... ice with fruit-flavored syrup.

[stitch_witch]

Oh that sounds delightful!

[crystalmaster]

Yeah, they're a big favorite back home in the summer!

[stitch_witch]

Really? How does one make them in the summer?

[crystalmaster]

We have appliances that keep things cold, so we're able to freeze the ice even when it's hot outside. Then it's broke into itty-bitty pieces and the syrup poured over it.

[stitch_witch]

Ah. We have magic for that, but we wouldn't make food so... ephemeral as that when we need the cold for storing things.

[crystalmaster]

True, it's not really practical if there's a space shortage.

[stitch_witch]

Yes, space shortages could be an issue from time to time, but we had deep cellars.

[crystalmaster]

That's cool. I'm really impressed by the space I've seen in some cellars.

[stitch_witch]

They need plenty of space to store food through the winter.
