For (I think) the first time in my life, the movie is better than the book. The book is slow enough that instead of reading the rest of the series, I read the summaries on wikipedia. The movie is faster paced since they crammed 340 pages into 104 minutes. It’s not Gone with the Wind, but if you want to see a vampire movie with some light action and a skosh of romance, this will do the trick.

The knit(s):

Ms. Karp (a teacher) was wearing a gold lacey knit sweater that I really liked the idea of, if not the execution. I couldn’t find any pictures, so here are some patterns that have the same vibe:

I really like this Hitofude Cardigan knit by LilyLilyLily. The gold color she chose is a much nicer gold than the one in the movie and shows off the lace well. Just lovely.

This sweater by Happymaxine is some gorgeous knitting and you know I’m a sucker for silver and gray.

In one scene, Headmistress Kirova had on a finely knit dress with a beaded yoke. I kept thinking it was a sweater, but I can’t imagine one of us knitting this. It was interesting nonetheless.

Here’s the socks I’m working on and oh yea, I’m Team Christian. He’s dark and broody and his specialty is fire, ya’ll.
