Imagine Logan teaching Virgil how to knit to calm him down and soon Virgil gets very good at it and he looks up tutorials and new patterns and he just loves it. So now the sides get random knitted clothing from him. Patton gets cardigans with puns and cartoon characters on them. Roman gets sweaters with Disney quotes and crowns on them. Logan gets astronomy themed scarfs….and just Virgil knitting for the sides…
As someone with anxiety who knits let me tell you that it’s far more likely they’d all just wake up one morning to him furiously knitting a still growing mono colored scarf and Logan would be like are you aware that thing is over ten feet long now and Virgil is like yeah but I’m STRESSED and just keeps furiously knitting, barely noticing that he’s seriously hurting his index fingers and probably permanently injuring the muscles in his wrist somehow.
Also, complex color patterns are really difficult so just imagine him attempting to make said astronomy scarf and then furiously giving up after ten minutes, saying he’s gonna try again some other time, but “some other time” turns out to be two years later.
And sweaters? Forget about doing that in secret. That doesn’t happen. It does not. Everyone you know is gonna be aware that you are a) knitting a sweater and b) going to kill someone over how long it’s taking.
I usually make anxiety-fueled hats. Small enough to carry the work around with you, a good range of difficulty levels, and you can usually either give them away or wear them without worrying too much about sizing.
