6. Sansa's Needlework

Sansa works fast. She only arrived at the Wall last week, but since then she's managed to break out the sewing kit and make herself and Jon some new threads, complete with Stark sigil and nods to their father.

This maybe shouldn't come as too much of a surprise though, because it's a reminder of the Sansa we first met all those years ago in the series premiere, with Sansa doing needlework at Winterfell. This was alluded to again in Season 1 when Cersei asks her if she made her own dress.

While this season is showing how far Sansa has come, it's also showing - with the needlework and the way she's been seen to braid her hair in the Northern way - that she is still very much a Stark, something that's important as she bids to reclaim the North.
