The NYtimes did a profile on the knitter behind the miraculous mini-garments featured in Coraline. Not sure why, but it was certainly enjoyable. The sea-themed sweater at 1:19 blows my mind.
Sigh......Coraline, what an outstanding movie. One of my best friends and I love that movie so much, and we especially love Coraline's rocking star-spangled sweater. Evil Mother sure has good taste. I've even desperately scoured the internet to find a life-size version of it - surely a knitter somewhere saw the movie and decided to capitalize on it????
But no luck. But I love my friend and the sweater enough that I've decided that sometime in the future, I'm going to get that sweater custom-made, and give it to her as a gift. She'd be absolutely bonkers about it.
