Stitch'n bitch is a group of woman who combines traditional and modern materials in their knitting. They were created in response to the modernization of political, social and technology of this era. They also believe that the groupings will help spark new ideas for crafts. The social group mights in cyber space in in physical form as a form of leisure to expand and share knowledges of craft. She stated that craft used to be on leisure time, but now it is more open and socialable around teh world and thus transforming quite leisure into social leisure time, through meeting and the internet. One thing the author state was that Craft is often seen as solely physical labour, messy and dirty, without an intellectual or aesthetic component.

She also state that craft, unlike art, is mean to be in homes and not in display in a museum. The text seems to be talking mainly abobut women of all ages. The idea is that knitting is not just for grandmothers, its for every age group and the movement is encouraging these participations of these age groups. The text talks about this group because the text focuses on knitting and knitting is a femine thing. The whole "new movement" is to socieally connect women of all ages.

From the table on page 12, I would say that my project resembles nostalgic. The reason I choose this theme is because of the concept of returning to the past. In origami today, people took it to the next level with complex mathematics and complex folding. Not saying that these new designs aren't beautiful in their own way, but I'm saying people now view the simpler origami as simply simple and plain. The beauty of the original crane is view as nothing compared to the new versions, the 3d features and the complex curves and pointiness of the figure is in a way superior in all ways. I want to return to the simple origamis, and make something new of them, something people will say it's simple but yet complex but yet also beautiful.

Everyone is entitled to think what they feel about DIY. Cooper believe that craft is a way to stand up again corporate mass production and that is better for a person to purcahse handmade goods rather than mass produce goods. I on the other hand value both, handmade and mass produce materials. I like many other don't want a defective handmade good or mass produced goods, but it is more prone for handmade materials to be more defective. I agree with cooper to some point that craft is personal and that it means alot to someone. But up to me, if somethign was that valuable and precious to me it would be difficult to sell or give away. So the idea of making craft to give and making craft for the heart and soul is to separate things. But yet again, if u makes yourself a vast, at the end it will end up as a display piece somewhere in your home. So we come to the idea of arts and craft and display arts and display craft, but thats for a different topic. Continuing what cooper said about being satisfay with hand made goods, some people just dont feel comfortable wearing a jacket that have been touch by another person's hand, they rahter have a machine make it for them with no or little human contact, but that depends on the person.
