If this is all I have I'm not gonna lose it

Memento Mori had to admire the work Jynn was doing. She was right, the cold weather would make the fish more sluggish but, if they were searching for food when it was scarce this time of year, they might be willing to search in a new place. It made her grateful that wolves had higher intelligence than prey animals. They were lucky, really. Wolves seemed better to adapt to new situations than the prey that they chased. But the question of how well the traps would work shifted to something directed at her, regarding crafting. Memento grinned at this, giving a nod.

“Actually, I have. It’s been experimental thus far, with the first being a bit of a flop. I’ve been working with different hides, though I’d imagine you’d need some sort of critter with a water-resistant one. I’ve been working with hide and threading through some twine made of cotton. The basic premise is to get a smaller bit of hide and thread the twine around the outside using bigger stitching. Fine work is… well, difficult.” At least with paws and a maw it was.

“I leave some of the twine loose on the outside, step inside, and pull it tighter around my paw. Covers it up pretty well. Just be careful not to get it so tight you can’t get it off. Then you’ll be tearing up the whole project and starting again. I’m not sure how long they’ll last, since my last ones were made of rabbit fur and started to soak through after a while… I’m thinking if I got hide of a water-resistant creature it’d work better. You could probably put wool or something on the inside too, insulation to keep your paws warm.” Memento gave a sheepish grin.

“A lot of my crafts are touch and go. I never really know what’s going to work until it’s done.”
