i love the idea of knitting as occupational therapy -- it really does seem like something matt would find soothing, given his restless fingers. i love how awesome jack is about relieving matt's worries, and then matt going to their neighbor for advice on mitten patterns (and deciding on blue rather than red) was just the right mix of sweet and painful. i also loved foggy's immediate enthusiasm upon discovering matt's hobby, and then matt getting marci's advice on colors for foggy's gift.
the coda, of course, was hilarious, and i love how you found a perfectly logical way to slip that sweater into the very different context of the show. :D
