Vitruvian Girl
Unlike the Vitruvian Man, the Vitruvian Girl is not of perfect proportion. She is not the image that represents the blend of art and science during the Renaissance, or the universe as a whole, nor is she the measure of all things “girly”. She is however a believer..a believer like Leonardo that the human eye is the perfect instrument in which to learn the laws of nature, and the artist, the perfect person to illustrate them.The Vitruvian girl is a modern one.
She thinks, creates, observes, teaches, cares and shares. And even with her flaws and her fears, she reaches past the circle, out of bounds, free to fall, until she flies…
Follow her and see what wonders she may bring...
my first stitch ‘n bitch
Yes that is a technical term.
According to Wikipedia the term stitch ‘n bitch has been in use since World War II. It refers specifically to a social knitting group but can also refer to just a group of women getting together and doing crafts (I’ve also heard of crafternoons for this one.)
I found this group via meetup.com, and it is an awesome site to meet other people who share the same interests as you. They have groups for single ladies getting together for happy hour, entrepreneurial moms, adults trying to get fit, etc., etc., all in your area. It’s free to join but I do believe it costs a small amount to start your own group.
My craft group met at a local Panera Bread, where I put a couple of my Christmas gifts into good use (a Panera Bread gift card + a beginning knitters handbook).
Since I was a beginner, a few of the ladies were nice enough to help get me started, but it wasn’t until I got home and watched a few youtube videos, where I was able to finally get something going.
I will continue to post up my progress, until my soon to be scarf is finished.
If you already know how to knit, this pattern is pretty easy. All you need to know is how to cast-on, knit and purl stitches. This scarf requires you to cast-on 32 stitches, k2, p2 on each row (ending on a purl stitch) till it reaches 64” long, (the width of 32 stitches should be about 5”).
Good luck! I’m off to my first day of my last semester at school. Yay!
