I Feel Like Knitting

Some movies and tv shows just make me want to knit. In fact, handknits are sometimes reason enough for me to watch.

Without getting into boring plot details (I didn’t necessarily like this movie), most of it takes place in the remote Welsh countryside, and the knits are gorgeous. Check these out:
