Knit-Strology; Or, Extrapolations Based on General and Specific Nonsense - Virgo

Sketching a Personality; Or, How I Have fun with Knitting and Astrology

Virgo: The Virgin
August 23 - September 23

Bonjour, my fellow Virgos! I'm keen to intellectually penetrate and critique our shared personality strengths and defects (haha, look what I did there! I like, totally proved I'm a Virgo in the first sentence. I'm just so damn clever!)

Virgos are precise, analytical and are often labeled perfectionist. You've got the most perfectest knit garments on the block! You certainly wouldn't be the type of person who, upon noticing a mis-crossed cable back near the beginning of your sweater, would just plod on and sport that handknit, shameful, glaring error and all! No! You'd frog, my friend. You'd frog.

You might have the most perfectest knit garments on the block, but you're shy and modest about it if people compliment you. You worry that perhaps it's not as perfect as it could be, you could certainly have made those stitches more even and done a much better blocking job.

It might have taken you a while to get comfortable with the new knit group you joined, but you've settled in well and are much appreciated for your dependability and helpfulness. Someone's messed up their lace pattern. Emergency! Hand it to the Virgo, who is certain to have the patience and analytical skills to work backwards through your piece and discover the root of the problem.

Industrious and efficient, Virgos might find themselves to be the knitter who shows up to knit night one week to cast on for a sweater, and two weeks later is in the process of sewing up all the seams. You manage your time well!

And the yarn you're knitting with betrays your practicality and love of all things natural. You're drawn towards that environmentally-friendly eco wool; it would be perfect for the timeless, classy cardigan you've been raring to knit for yourself.

Virgo rules (rather unfortunately) the bowels and guts and icky stuff. That's not particularly helpful when it comes to knitting garments, but Virgos love a good practical knit, so anything useful is a winner in their books!
Start projects on Wednesday - it's lucky for Virgos (though you're likely to always have some project on the go - you're uncomfortable if you're not constantly working!)
Colours for Virgo are like their personality; subdued and unassuming. Pick up a classy grey, beige or solid navy blue to make your Virgo smile!
