Coraline's Sweater

I was cruising through Entertainment Weekly this morning, the one with the Watchmen guys on the cover, when I saw the Style Hunter section. Apparently people are asking where they can find the sweater that Coraline wears, the one covered in stars. I was surprised to learn that someone actually knitted the one she wears in the movie. Althea Crome is a micro-knitter, and the piece is only three inches tall! So hard to believe, I'm a knitter and there's no way that I'm going to make anything that detailed and small...EVER!

Anyway, EW has a link for all of you knitters out there that want to make your very own Coraline sweater! I'm not sure if I will tackle this one, but did want to pass this on...

(I also printed the pattern, so if the link is down let me know and I'll send you a copy.)

i made this

i finished it last night after the steelers won in overtime versus the ravens. the game was too much of a nail-biter for me to actually sit down and knit during the game. this little gem is being called the 'kitty hat'. it was made for the 4 year old daughter of a friend, who is right now, obsessed with animals. (the 4 year old, also named the hat, cute right?) i made a larger version of the umbilical cord baby hat from 'stitch 'n' bitch', minus the umbilical cord, of course. and then i took the ears from an adult hat also featured in the book.

it was a quick knit, i hope baby girl enjoys it!
