Clara Bow

I am in LOVE with Ms. Clara Bow. I have long been a fan of Clara Bow's amazing look not to mention her movies. Her curly hair has inspired many of my hair cuts (including my current one) and I could spend hours looking at pictures of her!

Movie Knits: The Exorcist

The Exorcist is not only one of my all time FAVORITE movies in the entire world, but it also has one of the most amazing hat and scarf sets I have ever seen. Every time I watch this movie I am distracted by Ellen Burstyn's knits in this scene. Her hat is especially wonderful and I don't mind admitting that I modeled the first hat I ever knit after it.

Cold Weather and Warm Clothes

The snow has started to melt but it's still slushy outside and the weatherman says we have another 6 to 8 inches headed our way on Tuesday and Wednesday. While our future blizzard remains to be seen it's still cold enough for a nice winter weather hand knit!

Amazing coat inspiration

It's true that this is on of the most AMAZING coats I have ever seen. I love the oversized knit collar and am determined to create a knit collar with the same effect. The head piece is also incredible and I am currently working on making something similar.

The Best Imaginary Bars Part II

Click to watch the Fishermen in Action! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_gVCwINrrA

This is the house band at the Fisherman Club from the movie DOA in San Francisco. Need I say more? Not only does the Fishermen have the most AMAZING band ever, but it also has the most incredible patrons in movie history. Just have a look at the fellow above...you can't tell, but he's saying "Lay off me man I'm being enlightened." Indeed. This is one of the best jazz clubs in Noir and I have longed to go there ever since I watched DOA. The Fisherman is one of those bars that looks sort of creepy and no good from the outside and then you walk in and find that they just happen to have the best jazz band in San Fran. This never happens in real life. I've tried it. I have walked into the worst dives fully expecting to find an amazing jazz band and a rowdy audience of drunk hep cats. I usually find frat boys and low cut jeans. Alas.
