Characters: Tosh, Team
Rating: G
Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: Alien tech does strange things to people.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: For angelsphonebox, who provided the prompt ‘Knitting.’
Despite being used to the strange effects of alien technology, they all agreed this was among the strangest.
Tosh had started knitting and couldn’t stop.
As it was usually her job to figure out alien devices and reverse their effects, that was a bit of a problem.
Well, two problems really. Tosh only knew garter stitch and had no idea how to cast off, so just kept knitting while the others tried to work out how to turn the damn thing off.
‘On the bright side,’ thought Tosh, ‘it looks like I might break the record for world’s longest scarf!’

Date: 2013-12-06 10:25 pm (UTC)I'm considering a sequel, but that's all I'll say. Or perhaps it's more correct to say I WAS considering a particular sequel, but now the ideas might have shifted a bit so I'm not quite sure what direction it's going now.
Thank you.

Ianto a tired knitters best friend.

Oh yes, Tosh is extremely grateful to Ianto for helping her through her time of knitting. The sequel to this one is now up - there's a link at the end of this drabble.
Thank you.

Date: 2013-12-12 04:46 pm (UTC)My mum started teaching me to knit last week - I learnt two stitches (no idea what they're called) I dont know how to cast off either so my scarf could get quite long! (if I had time to practise some more..)
