Puzzletober 2025: Weave
He notices that the woman had been listening closely to their conversation but had now returned to trying to weave some black string under and over the white base in the frame. He finds an empty chair not too far away and pulls it closer to study her technique. She senses him watching and, pausing her progress on the row, turns to acknowledge him fully.
She says, "Leather's perfect for leaving." There is a bit of an accent. "I finished the lore prose at noon, then I cast the anchor. Here I'm lurking on the left." He nods at the speed of her hands and pretends to understand the terminology. He asks, "What are you making this for?" She replies, "It's a commemorative scarf. My husband taught me..." There's a pause, then he changes the subject: "Where's the innkeeper?" She points toward a hill by the forest in the distance. "There's a trail near that hill. It should take you to the lake." He thanks her for her time and walks off with his suitcase in search of the others.
Rules: Draw either a horizontal line or a vertical line through the center of each cell, like in Juosan. A horizontal line indicates where the string goes over horizontally and under vertically, and a vertical line indicates where the string goes under horizontally and over vertically. A clue indicates that the string it's on switches between going under and over at the clue. If a clue has a number, the connected string goes over exactly that many strings in a row in the direction from the clue where it goes over.
