The Twilight Of My Yarn Addiction….

Cheap and cheezy title, I know.  Trying my hand at that SEO stuff :) 

Regardless, my post IS about Twilight…the movie…and yarn, so I’m not being deceptive!

So, took my daughter to see Twilight, opening night at 10pm.  Mainly because I detest large groupings of peoples who just don’t care about anything more than squealing, texting and talking on cell phones all while a movie is playing!  And, we can now say that we made family history by attending a blockbuster, number ONE feature film on it’s national opening night.  Woot. I know!  You know I am special, I know you know I am!

Puke.

What ensues will NOT be a review of said movie, nor the books that spawned it. If you want a pretty DEAD ON review about Twilight, check out TheAndrea for a full throttle heads up!  This, however,  is just me reveling in all the gorgeous knitted type things that abounded all throughout the movie……..except for the brief stints in Arizona.

Sweaters, wrist warmers, mittens, hats…..all if it was found in this one film.  What’s NOT to love about that?  Of course, since the shallow side of the fashion industry shuns such lovely outerwear, I have been hard-pressed to locate any worthwhile imagery from the film that can be used to demonstrate JUST what I am talking about.

Thusly, I am left with my shoddy memory skills and the internets to help me find items of a similar gist that will display the sheer joy of yarn-related products that made this movie, at the very least, visually stimulating for the yarn addict in ANYONE!!

An hour later….here I am….I tell you…NOTHING in the way of yarny imagery exists about this movie!  Grr!

Kristen Stewart

Here is one shot of Kristen Stewart (One fair-skinned Bella Swan) in A hat and A scarf, however, seriously, I believe this is just a promo shot….unless it’s from the moment in the meadow when Edward sparkled like one of those funky plastic, bubbly, shimmery things you always see at Christmas….(DAMN, now I have to go locate a picture of one of those, since I have no clue what it is!!).  It’s now 8:32 pm.  If I’m not back in an hour, send a search party. Seriously.  One that has High Speed capability!  

 

Textured Plastic

Beadazzles Plastic??? Check it out!

 

Yeah, that’s a downright shoddy misrepresentation of what I’m talking about, but if you get up and look at this pic from across the room, you might understand what I’m talking about.  However, now that I’m WAY off track…..let me hop back on!

Ok, so my main obsession is probably something I didn’t even really see except for in my own head.  Bella (Ms. Stewart) was wearing an absolutely glorious, slouchy, cabled gray pair of what I perceived to be wrist warmers, however they very well could have been mittens or gloves too…..and if anyone else noticed these and know exactly where a picture exists, PLEASE let me know?  :)

 

This picture was just the closest representation I could find.

 

And, being discouraged by the lack of appreciation of Twilight image capturers across the globe for anything made of YARN, I am going to just leave it at this.   Someday when someone posts more images of the film itself, or when the movie comes out on DVD and I can capture my OWN images, then I will revisit this topic.

 

Ok…not so bad for posting 2 days in a row.  Now I need to get to work on planning what we need to talk about tomorrow! :)  Have a loverly rest of the weekend!
