At first it started out with Mikasa and Marco going off by themselves, when she wasn't with Mina and Christa, in their free time. Marco liked to knit, and Mikasa usually sewed (mostly ripped garments of Eren's) and would sometimes embroider. Next it was Connie wondering what they went off to do. He laughed at them (mostly at Marco for fear of Mikasa) for a solid five minutes before solemnly asking Marco to teach him how to knit. Marco accepted, and they both learned how bad of a knitter Connie was. Sasha was next, wandering over for food. She laughed at the boys knitting before asking Mikasa to teach her how to sew. Sasha was surprisingly quick in learning it (especially after Mikasa stabbed her with the sewing needles a couple of times). Christa came over next, prepared to start sewing. She was accepted into the group and started to sew a bunch of colorful patches together. No one in the group was sure what she was working on, and she would usually smile at anyone guessing, (most guesses were a quilt for Ymir),before continuing to work on it.
Eren and Armin came next. Eren asked Marco how to knit, while Armin preferred to learn to sew with Mikasa. Jean came later that night after following the people. He joined it after seeing Mikasa there, sewing. It took a while for him to learn (with plenty of stab marks from a combination of sewing needles and Mikasa) even he learned eventually. Reiner and Bertholdt came together, Reiner knitting, and Bertholdt sewing. Ymir joined the second she saw Christa enjoying herself there, and was quickly taught to sew by Christa. Annie was one of the last people to join, and usually chose to sew instead of knitting.
Shadis was looking for the trainees. It had been a week since everyone there had joined the sewing and knitting circle, and he wondered where they all went after training. Searching the grounds, he finally found them. They were all in a circle, sewing or knitting, and chatting. The chatter fell silent when they saw him. He said nothing, laughing at them the whole time he was leaving. He should've been happy about all the nonexistent requests for garments to be sewn after the circle was started up. The only fact that he often wondered about was how they found sewing needles, knitting needles, yarn, and thread for their circle.
A/N: R&R is appreciated! The next one will be about the morning habits of the trainees. Thanks for reading!
