An artist friend of Scott’s and mine, Paul McCall, sent this to me. As you know, I sometimes go with Scott to the Open Studios at the Indianapolis Art Center and the monitor has kindly let me sit in on the sessions for a few years now. I either knit or sit with my spinning wheel while the students sit and draw nude models.
I howled with laughter when I saw this and knew I had to share it with you guys.

That is soooooo funny! I love it! Is there any chance it will end up on t-shirts?

Ooops! I just realized this is Bizarro. So, I guess it won’t be on your t-shirts. lol But, it sure is funny. I’ve been chuckling about it all evening.

That’s hilarious. I was an art major as a college freshman, and have been there! We didn’t have any knitters or spinners in class when we had to draw nudes however.

Thanks for posting this and telling me about it, Benita, I’m glad it found its way into the right hands. I got an email from another knitter recently, thanking me for depicting the knitters with the needles in the correct position. She said cartoonists frequently have them sticking up above the hands instead of below, which I confess I, too, have been guilty of in the past. This time I made sure to get it right.

PS: If you can attend figure knitting class, I’m sure you can dye with lichen. (Although, from the one natural dyeing lecture I’ve attended, they said you need to collect about a paper grocery bag full of lichen to dye a pound of yarn. I wouldn’t want to deplete the lichen sources around here that much.)
I realize you might be wondering why I’m commenting about this….it’s because you asked me about dyeing with the lichen in your color of March post. But you’re the dyer, so you probably know this already!
