Yesterday while working on a tank top for the summer issue of Knitty, I watched
Notes on a Scandal (Cate Blanchett & Dame Judi Dench). If you enjoy a well-written, well-acted and utterly juicy flick, I highly recommend this one. As the title clearly states, this movie is centered around a scandal...well two, actually. One, as a result of a desperate woman's monumentally bad judgement call the other, an equally desperate woman's psychological warfare spawned from years of self-oppression and related mental illness. And as if the plotline weren't enough to get thee logged-on to Netflix, this movie is also filled with knitwear! That my movie-loving friends, is what us stitchers call a win-win situation. Here are the knits I noted all worn by Cate's character, "Sheeba":
- Pale pink, gossamer lace scarf
- Simple, periwinkle v-neck pullover
- Oatmeal and brown, crocheted scarf
- Chunky, lilac mohair cardigan
- Mosiac, lavender wrist warmers
- Chocolate, machine-knit, cabled, over-sized button down.
Back to the knitting trenches!

I just DVR'd this movie a couple of weeks ago, now I have to finally just scoot the kids out of the room (Nickelodeon/Disney are apparently the only channels my living room TV is tuned into), sit down with the yarn bag, and watch it!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you ever got a chance to see "Wool 100%" that I had recommended a while back.
ReplyDeleteA lot of love:
ReplyDeleteYes, I love the pale pink lacy scarf with the long jacket.
Just found your blog - love it!
Loved your show, too!
yes, besides superb acting, the knitwear is just delish in this movie.
ReplyDeleteLove that movie, and yes, I did notice the knitwear! That's something I always look for in movies!
