And why not I ask you? I have very little in the way of contact with other fellow knitters. All by my lonesome I might indulge in the belief that I am an amazing knitter. But truth be told there is much I do not know how to do. Like creating patterns. Or designing. Yes. I am in need of some sharping up. And so I may try my hand at the Masters Hand Knitting Program. Wish me luck.
I've been to see the movie "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies". Loved it. I liked Bilbo's fingerless mitts. Seriously chunky wool.
Oops. Sorry. I'm back. I was trolling IMBD looking up the actors. I really love the Brits.
And really, I ask you, why not?

Happy New Year. It Better Be...
Blogger is having image upload issues.
So can't share any pics of knits or hand spun. But. Our family went to see "The Hobbit" on Christmas day. The movie was changed up from Tolkien's version and that is annoying. Though I felt much better when low and behold what do I see? The Dwarf hoards sitting there looking at me. With all sorts of big chunky knits! Even the hair was crafted into knit stitch like designs! I Love This.
I already have all the Fellowship movies but these woolie clothed dwarfs are a real incentive to get The Hobbit. Even when departing from the original adventure, which I dare say is the correct manner for my beloved Hobbit story, I will get these movies and try my hand at recreating those lovelies. Seriously? I'm already impatient for movie #2. Blather on that I may.
One of the tunics stands out in my mind. It had a lovely cable that looked a lot like my all time favorite stitch. The honeycomb. And also those fingerless mitts. That must have been the moss stitch. All looked to be knitted up in the most rustic-ish, itchiest, beautiful wool god or man ever has created. I want some.
Anyone think there will be patterns? Maybe yarn! Oh gosh. Sorry. But, blast it all, I am a great lover of everything ever written by Tolkien. You must understand when I first came to West Virginia (from Long Island at 16 yrs of age) I was gonna live like Bilbo Baggins. I have read these books many times over. And now someone(s) has crafted "The Knits". Yes. All is right in the world.
The Hobbit
Oin lovely plaited gloves and hair in grey. +D
Nori mega braids!
Bombur yup these are the moss stitch mitts mentioned above and love that big fat braid.
dwarves are a-singing Fili, Dori, Ori and Nori
Really the effect is never the same as on the Silver Screen. Which must be the shock factor. I was struck (not) dumb too see so much knitting. Keep it up Peter Jackson.
