Movie Knitting
I laughed when I flipped the page on my 365-day Yarn Harlot calendar this morning…
Because today, for the first time in MONTHS, I went to the movies!
I made a point of having knitting with me, too. I started this sock two nights ago, just to get the toe done and ready for straight stockinette stitch up the foot. Do you see where the bottom edge of the movie ticket is? That’s where the sock was when we left the house. All the rest is knitting I did in the theater while watching the movie.
I finally stopped about 20 minutes before the end because (1) I figured I was right near the heel of the sock and (2) the size 0 metal needles were starting to hurt my fingers. And, hey, between the movie, the previews, and all the screen-filler they had before the lights dimmed, that was about three hours of knitting.
It was otherwise a pretty quiet day. Because of the movie, I didn’t make it to Kim’s parade to see the Squid Hat in person, but that’s okay. My niece is visiting and we all had a nice, quiet morning.
Well, okay, I ran out to get some oatmeal because I accidentally burned a batch of granola last night. (My own fault for forgetting to turn the heat on my crockpot down to low before leaving the room.) And while I was in the grocery store, I picked up some meat and tomatoes to make spaghetti and meatballs. I made the sauce around lunch time, so that it would be ready when we got home from the movie, around quarter to six. All we had to do was boil water for the pasta and it was ready to eat. (Planning ahead is good!)
And, tomorrow morning? Blueberry pancakes. I can’t wait. I love blueberry pancakes!

I think you will be delighted if you get a Spindlewood. Golding made me a second spindle, and it is so awful I didn’t even mention it. Walnut. Heavy. Ugly. Oh well, now I know to stay away from his stuff, as pretty as it is on the web site.
I knit all my socks while reading books, so I understand completely the movie knit
I am not a good enough knitter to knit in the dark, although the idea is lovely. But for me, part of my enjoyment of knitting is the process of looking at the stitches and seeing them come together one by one. It’s meditative for me in many ways.
So, what did you think of the movie?? I haven’t seen it, and other than the first one I didn’t see any of the Potter films in the theater. I’ve seen them all just not in the theater.
Lots and lots of sock knitting! What did you think of the movie? We went last week on one of the hottest days, I’ll admit just because of the air conditioning in the theater. It wasn’t my favorite Potter movie.
