The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring (Full Screen Edition)

Would you like to knit your own elven cloak?
Well, now you can.
Wouldn't that be fun?
Actually, it looks like the company that makes the yarn sells all sorts of ready-made stuff, too. But by my estimation, knitting it yourself will save you about four to five hundred US dollars.
You know, there's a book just waiting to be written: Knitting Goes to the Movies, or some such--a catalogue of interesting knitwear in movies, along with patterns. I spent most of the time I watched the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Whale Rider pondering over the sweaters the main characters wore.

It had the advantage of being a simple enough project that I could work on it in a darkened movie theater. I always knit, or do some other sort of manual project (lately, it's making German vocab cards as part of my last-minute pre-exam cramming) while watching TV, but it takes a bit of planning for me to have a project at hand that I can work on without being able to look at it.
But for someone scheming to teach a course around the books, it might be kinda fun.
The author has a blog where you can view some of the patterns.
Wow! Since I don't have the 4-5 hundred dollars, I am just going to have to learn to knit.
And liek RemudaMom, I need the elven leaf fastener as well. After I take up knitting, I am going to have learn silversmithing.
